Abstract

Stable isotope measurements on molluscs from raised marine deposits, and on foraminifera in a piston core, define a series of light isotope events. A major event is super(14)C dated at ca. 10.3 ka and is correlated with a marked isotopic excursion in HU77-021-156. This event is followed by a dramatic rise in diatom and, slightly later, in benthic foraminiferal abundances. Molluscs record another light event around 9 ka. Major fluctuations in both delta super(18)O and delta super(13)C around 10.3 ka suggests that the Hudson Strait ice stream may have responded to the Younger Dryas climatic oscillation.
