Abstract
Describes field investigations in this area into various aspects of late- and post-glacial history. The upper marine limit was measured by aitimetry and the chronology of uplift by lichenometry. Results are graphed and illustrated. Some problems met with in the licheno- metric observations are mentioned. Emergence since deglaciation has been continuous, but was most rapid in the early stages. Recent uplift has been at 4-7 ft/century. Some findings relevant to the ice slope and movement between Hudson Bay and Labrador-Ungava are discussed. The upper marine limit in this area is more than 900 ft above present sea level.
