Abstract

Sedimentological analysis of six piston cores collected from three major troughs on the central shelf off B.C. suggests (a) ice rafting was active 13 6000 +/- 150 BP, but that any ice grounding during the Fraser Glaciation occurred prior to 15 000 BP, (b) debris and grain flows occurred during deglaciation and, (c) postglacial deposition has been concentrated on thte inner southeastern and possibly outer northern part of the shelf.
