Glacial landforms and sediments (landsystem) of the Smoking Hills area, Northwest Territories, Canada: Implications for regional Pliocene – Pleistocene Laurentide Ice Sheet dynamics

Glacial landforms and sediments (landsystem) of the Smoking Hills area, Northwest Territories, Canada: Implications for regional Pliocene – Pleistocene Laurentide Ice Sheet dynamics

The Smoking Hills area in the western Canadian Arctic was purported to contain a regionally rare Quaternary stratigraphic section with multiple, local ice cap-derived tills and a long chronology constrained by palaeomagnetic markers. We present a fundamental revision of previous glacial and magnetos...
