Late Quaternary Environments, Denali National Park and Preserve, Alaska
Late Quaternary pollen, plant macrofossils, and insect fossils were studied from sites along three rivers in the foothills north of the Alaska Range in Denali National Park and Preserve. The aim was to carry out a reconnaissance of late Quaternary organic sediments in the region, emphasizing the mid-Wisconsin, or Boutellier interstadial interval. Samples of probable early-to mid-Boutellier age (ca. 60 000 to 40 000 B.P.) from Unit 2 at the Toklat…
Paleoecology of Late-Glacial Peats from the Bering Land Bridge, Chukchi Sea Shelf Region, Northwestern Alaska
Insect fossils and pollen from late Pleistocene nonmarine peat layers were recovered from cores from the shelf region of the Chukchi Sea at depths of about 50 m below sea level. The peats date to 11,300−11,000 yr B.P. and provide a limiting age for the regional Pleistocene-Holocene marine transgression. The insect fossils are indicative of arctic coastal habitats like those of the Mackenzie Delta region (mean July temperatures = 10.6–14°C) sugges…
Fossil Pollen and Insect Evidence for Postglacial Environmental Conditions, Nushagak and Holitna Lowland Regions, Southwest Alaska
This paper discusses the results of pollen and insect analyses of postglacial samples from the Nushagak and Holitna lowlands, southwest Alaska. Although radiocarbon dating control is poor, the samples can be arranged in a relative-age sequence based on stratigraphic occurrence. The fossil pollen data record the regional transition from a late-glacial dry graminoid tundra through the postglacial Birch, Alder, and Spruce zones. The lack of xeric in…
Radiocarbon Dates on Deglaciation, Cordillera Central, Northern Peruvian Andes
Three radiocarbon dates along with relative-dating criteria place limits on the deglaciation history of Manachaque Valley, Cordillera Central. Ice retreated from the late-glacial maximum by at least 12,100 yr B.P. During ice retreat numerous moraines were deposited throughout the valley. Glacier cover was reduced to about half that of the last glacial maximum by at least 9700 yr B.P. and to less than a tenth by at least 6450 yr B.P. Because all d…
Pollen, Oxygen Isotope Content and Seasonality in an Ice Core from the Penny Ice Cap, Baffin Island
The results of pollen analyses of 12 ice core samples, covering an eight-year period from 1972 through 1979 from the divide of the Penny Ice Cap, Baffin Island, are reported. The pollen spectra are dominated by long distance transported pollen, especially the conifers Picea and Pinus. Alnus pollen is generally rare. In contrast, pollen spectra from both modern polsters and fossil peat sections in the same area are both characterized by local poll…
The Northern Limit of Trees in Labrador
We have found that the northernmost trees in Labrador occur at Napaktok Bay on the Labrador cost, as suggested by early explorers, rather than along either Nakvak Brook, Saklek Fiord, or the Hebron Fiord area as suggested by most modern workers
Glacial History and Palaeoecology of Northeastern Nouveau-Québec and Northern Labrador
Between mid-July and mid-August 1975, a reconnaissance was made of a large tract of subarctic and arctic terrain bounded by Schefferville, Fort Chimo and the Torngat Mountains north to latitude 59°31' N. A float-plane was used for the purpose. Three main areas received special attention: the southern and central Torngat Mountains between Hebron Fiord and Ryans Bay; the lower George River between Wedge Hill and Port Nouveau Québec, and the Quebec-…
