Abstract
This is a preliminary attempt at establishing a source of substantial information on mainly published papers dealing with climatic change and variability in Canada during the last 2 million years. Where possible, author's abstracts have been used as annotations for they tend to state clearly not only the author's conclusions and priorities, but provide an idea of the general context of the work. Furthermore, perhaps use of these broader, deeper summaries (i.e. including more than specific paleoclimatic information) will allow this bibliography to be of greater use to scientists in other fields (Quaternary palynology, paleoecology, geology and glaciology come to mind because of the relative abundance of references to those fields in the index). In compiling the annotations we have tried to avoid too restrictive an approach to this broad and interesting subject: if we have erred, I hope it is on the generous side. Besides using this bibliography asa specific research tool, it may be worthwhile for someone to review its contents in order to summarize the status of Quaternary paleoclimatic research in certain disciplines in various parts of Canada. A remarkable point noted by Anne Smithers is the relative abundance of references mentioning climatic change in the Canadian Arctic Islands ("Northwest Territories - Islands")
