  • Late Wisconsinan glaciation and postglacial relative sea-level change on western Banks Island, Canadian Arctic Archipelago

    Open AccessThomas R Lakeman, John H England et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2014

    The study revises the maximum extent of the northwest Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) in the western Canadian Arctic Archipelago (CAA) during the last glaciation and documents subsequent ice sheet retreat and glacioisostatic adjustments across western Banks Island. New geomorphological mapping and maximum-limiting radiocarbon ages indicate that the northwest LIS inundated western Banks Island after ~ 31 14 C ka BP and reached a terminal ice margin wes…

  • Alfred Anthony Heathcote (1931–2012)

  • Re-evaluating the Relevance of Vegetation Trimlines in the Canadian Arctic as an Indicator of Little Ice Age Paleoenvironments

    Open AccessG J Wolken, John H England et al.ARTICLEARCTIC2010

    The origin of trimlines associated with the so-called “lichen-free” areas in the Canadian Arctic has been attributed both to perennial snowfield expansion during the Little Ice Age (LIA) and to seasonally persistent snow cover in more recent times. Because of the disparate hypotheses (ecological versus paleoclimatic) regarding the formation of these trimlines, their use as a paleoclimatic indicator has been abandoned for more than two decades. We…

  • Most Northerly Observation of a Grizzly Bear (Ursus arctos) in Canada

    Open AccessJonathan P Doupé, John England et al.ARTICLEARCTIC2009

    During geological studies in 2003 and 2004 on Melville Island, Northwest Territories, Canada, field parties photographed and gathered genetic information on one or more grizzly bears (Ursus arctos). To our knowledge, these data constitute the most northerly observations made of this species in North America. The DNA of a hair sample collected on Melville Island in 2004 is genetically indistinguishable from DNA collected from a population of grizz…

  • The Younger Dryas and the Sea of Ancient Ice

    Open AccessRaymond S Bradley, John H England et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2008

    We propose that prior to the Younger Dryas period, the Arctic Ocean supported extremely thick multi-year fast ice overlain by superimposed ice and firn. We re-introduce the historical term paleocrystic ice to describe this. The ice was independent of continental (glacier) ice and formed a massive floating body trapped within the almost closed Arctic Basin, when sea-level was lower during the last glacial maximum. As sea-level rose and the Barents…

  • New evidence from the western Canadian Arctic Archipelago for the resubmergence of Bering Strait

    Open AccessJohn H England, John England et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2008

    Widespread molluscan samples were collected from raised marine sediments to date the last retreat of the NW Laurentide Ice Sheet from the western Canadian Arctic Archipelago. At the head of Mercy Bay, northern Banks Island, deglacial mud at the modern coast contains Hiatella arctica and Portlandia arctica bivalves, as well as Cyrtodaria kurriana , previously unreported for this area. Multiple H. arctica and C. kurriana valves from this site yield…

  • Changes in late-Neoglacial climate inferred from former equilibrium-line altitudes in the Queen Elizabeth Islands, Arctic Canada

    Open AccessG J Wolken, Martin Sharp et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2008Referencias: 3

    Regional-scale spatial variation in the change in equilibrium-line altitude (ELA) trend surface in the Queen Elizabeth Islands (QEI), Arctic Canada between the `Little Ice Age' (LIA) and 1960 corresponds to Empirical Orthogonal Functions (EOFs) representing specific patterns of summer climate variability found in the modern record. Extreme warm (1953—1962) and cold (1965—1974) decades in the modern record were used as modern analogues of climatic…

  • Changes in late-Neoglacial perennial snow/ice extent and equilibrium-line altitudes in the Queen Elizabeth Islands, Arctic Canada

    Open AccessG J Wolken, John H England et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2008Citada por: 2Referencias: 4

    Changes in late Neoglaical climate resulted in extensive modification of Arctic terrestrial ice cover. A substantial reduction in terrestrial ice cover in the Queen Elizabeth Islands (QEI) following the `Little Ice Age' (LIA) (~AD 1250—1900), is indicated by widespread, light-toned patches of poorly vegetated terrain, extending back to the modern ice mass. These patches display abrupt outer margins (trimlines), which record the former position an…

  • Krüger's Final Camp in Arctic Canada

    Open AccessRobert C Brooks, John England et al.ARTICLEARCTIC2004

    On 3 July 1999, John England, Art Dyke, and undergraduate student Michelle Laurie were surveying raised marine shorelines on Axel Heiberg Island halfway between Cape Southwest and the mouth of Surprise Fiord. During this work, they discovered a site with objects that appeared to be "of considerable antiquity." ... Only the compass and the transit were collected for preservation and identification. Protruding through the surface sand was evidence …

  • Canada's Most Northerly Postglacial Bowhead Whales ( Balaena mysticetus )

    Open AccessArthur S Dyke, John EnglandARTICLEARCTIC2003

    Rare remains of postglacial bowhead whales occur in the Norwegian Bay-Eureka Sound region. These are the northernmost remains known from the Canadian Arctic. The region is beyond the bowhead's current range because of persistent summer sea ice. We argue that the region has been beyond the bowhead's range for most of postglacial time for the same reason. With one exception, the 16 known subfossil bowheads from the region date to the last 4000 14C …

  • A varve record of increased ‘Little Ice Age’ rainfall associated with volcanic activity, Arctic Archipelago, Canada

    Open AccessScott F Lamoureux, John H England et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2001Citada por: 2Referencias: 1

    Varved sediments from Nicolay Lake, Canadian High Arctic, record major summer rainfall events over the last five centuries. Increased incidences of summer rainfall occurred during the coldest periods of the ‘Little Ice Age’ and were strongly clustered in the years immediately following major volcanic events. Comparison of the summer rainfall and proxy air temperature records thus provides a fuller understanding of the nature and causes of natural…

  • Late Wisconsinan Glaciation of the Central Sector of the Canadian High Arctic

    Open AccessScott F Lamoureux, John H England et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2000

    Geomorphic and chronological evidence from Cornwall Island in the Canadian High Arctic Archipelago provides direct evidence for the age and dynamics of the center and northern flank of the Innuitian Ice Sheet that covered the islands during the Late Wisconsonian glacial maximum. Dispersal of erratics and glacial landforms indicate that ice flowed north across the island and converged with ice flowing northwest from Norwegian Bay. Cornwall Island …

  • An Urgent Appeal to the Government of Canada to Proclaim our Northern Identity

    Open AccessJohn H England, John EnglandARTICLEARCTIC2000

    Looming new developments of unprecedented scale now present for Northerners both significant opportunities and challenges, especially if long-term cultural vitality and a sustainable environment are to be maintained. Northern Canada is also a key archive and bellwether for global climate change, and understandably it has become increasingly the focus of foreign researchers, whose resources vastly exceed those of Canadians. In light of this northe…

  • Canada's Crisis in Arctic Science

    Open AccessJohn H England, John England et al.ARTICLEARCTIC1998

    Canada has entered a deep crisis in Arctic science. The lack of a formal Arctic Science and Technology Policy has left our highly fragmented efforts in Arctic research exceedingly vulnerable during times of financial stress and left us effectively without a voice. Logistical support, essential for operating in our vast northern territory, has all but disappeared as a facilitator for both government and university research. Within two years, only …

  • Changes in Driftwood Delivery to the Canadian Arctic Archipelago

    Open AccessArthur S Dyke, John England et al.ARTICLEARCTIC1997

    Driftwood appears to be absent in the Beaufort Gyre but abundant in parts of the Transpolar Drift (TPD), which crosses the Arctic Ocean from the Chukchi Sea to the vicinity of northeastern Greenland. Nearly 300 radiocarbon dates on Holocene driftwood from the Canadian Arctic Archipelago reveal two regions with contrasting histories of driftwood incursion: the region accessible to wood brought into Baffin Bay by the West Greenland Current and the …

    This paper outlines and discusses the provision of Social Services responses to urgent needs arising out of day time office hours. The structure and workings of the Emergency Duty Team covering the County of Buckinghamshire are considered along with the crucial needs for team members to prioritise under pressure and to be supportively aware of one another. A thirty hour period over a busy weekend is described and analysed to highlight the kind of…

  • Geomorphological Evidence of Holocene Climatic Change from Northwest Ellesmere Island, Canadian High Arctic

    Open AccessDavid J A Evans, John EnglandARTICLEThe Holocene1992Citada por: 3Referencias: 4

    Proxy data from the northern coast of Ellesmere Island are used to reconstruct Holocene palaeoclimate and appear to corroborate the ice core record from the Canadian and Greenland high arctic despite some regional variation. Geomorphological evidence indicates that deglaciation was associated with a marked climatic amelioration in the late Pleistocene/early Holocene (≥10 ka BP). This contrasts with glaciers on the south side of Grant Land Mountai…
