Description :
In this paper, calibrated radiocarbon and other dates of geomorphic events from Dinosaur Provincial Park, southeastern Alberta, and the surrounding plains are compared in order to establish the calendric timing, duration, and sequence of deglaciation and postglacial events. Such a reassessment is a necessary first step toward developing a more comprehensive understanding of the spatial and temporal sequences of postglacial landscape evolution in this region.
