Methane hydrates in Quaternary climate change : the clathrate gun hypothesis

The sensitivity of Canada`s coasts to a rise in sea-level of 0.65 m by the end of the next century is evaluated. The different coastal and geological processes and the ways in which global climate change might affect sea level are described. The segments of Canada`s coasts which are most sensitive to changes in sea level are the coasts of Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and New Brunswick. Major impacts here would include greater coastal erosion and retreat. The degree of the impact would depend on several quantifiable variables including relief, geology, coastal landform, coastal retreat rate, sea-level trend, wave energy, and tidal range. In general, the Pacific coast has low sensitivity because of the high, rocky shorelines. However, the Fraser Delta and parts of Graham Island are areas of high sensitivity. Most of the Arctic coast has low sensitivity, with the exception of the the Beaufort Sea which is highly sensitive. refs., tabs., figs.

The coastline of the southeastern Canadian Beaufort Sea is essentially composed of eroding bluffs of unconsolidated Quaternary sediments, complex embayments formed by the breaching of thermokarst lakes, and spits and barrier islands which are experiencing rapid landward migration. Comparison of air photographs shows that between 1950 and 1985 spits were retreating landward at an average rate of 1.7 m a -1 while offshore barrier islands were migrating onshore at a rate of 3.1 m a -1 . "Detached spits," which represent a type of barrier island almost attached to the mainland, migrated landward at a rate of 2.0 m a -1 . These differences in migration rates are explained in terms of sediment supply, morphology and physical processes responsible for the landward migration of the coastal landforms. Regression analyses of retreat rates as a function of longshore sediment supply revealed that sediment availability is a significant parameter controlling spit and barrier island landward migration. Analyses of retreat rates as a function of incoming deep-water wave power showed that barrier islands are retreating more rapidly than spits even if they are exposed to the same level of wave energy. Direct sediment supply from adjacent bluffs and the presence of coastal dunes effectively limit spit erosion and retreat. In the case of barrier islands, the lack of significant longshore sediment supply is favourable to a net sediment deficit and results in higher retreat rates. Spits are retreating in response to beachface erosion and storm overwashing where low crestal elevation permits swash incursion across the crest. Barrier islands are more often and more extensively overwashed and overwashing represents the main physical process responsible for their migration.
