Abstract
Some Late Quaternary sand and gravel ridges near Ottawa are believed to have formed by coalescence of subaqueous outwash fans deposited where glacial meltwater conduits emerged from the Wisconsin ice front beneath the Champlain Sea. The ridges are approximately parallel to the direction of ice transport, and developed as the ice front retreated northward. Exposures in the ridges have allowed a detailed investigation of coarse-grained deposits in relation to changing icefront morphology.
