Age of pre-late-Wisconsin glacial-estuarine sedimentation, Bristol Bay, Alaska

Auteur(s) et Affiliation(s)



Description :
The AA. present a variety of geochronological data suggesting that extensive pre-late-Wisconsin glaciers entered Bristol Bay after the last interglaciation. This age is considerably younger than the most-recent advance of glaciers to the coast in northwestern Alaska. The new geochronological data further confirm stratigraphic and paleogeographic evidence for contemporaneous advance of pre-late-Wisconsin glaciers from indeppendent northwestern and southeastern source areas into Bristol Bay.
