Description :
This paper discusses the distribution and seismostratigraphy of the late glacial and postglacial Quaternary sediments in the region fronting the Grande Rivière de la Baleine entrance, including part of the Manitounuk Sound. The objectives are to interpret the stratigraphic sequence offshore in terms of the processes of ice retreat and of postglacial sedimentation, to compare the offshore to the onshore stratigraphy and interpret that in terms of processes, and to relate the results to the known deglaciation and postglacialhistory of the region.
