Late Quaternary paleoceanography and sedimentary environments in Hudson Strait
This paper discusses paleoceanographic and sedimentary environments in Hudson Strait interpreted from foraminiferal and seismic evidence. The changing environments and their chronology provide further evidence on dynamics of the Late Wisconsinan
In this paper, the A. presents a radiocarbon date and results of amino acid analyses of shell fragments derived from till on Nottingham Island at the west end of Hudson Strait. These results support the idea that Hudson Strait and at least part
The opening of the Plio-Quaternary Gibraltar Strait : assessing the size of a cataclysm
The geomorphologic study of the Gibraltar Strait, as well as budget modelling and hydraulic calculations, all point out to the retrogressive erosion by an eastwards-flowing Messinian stream as a necessary natural agent in order to account
for the opening of the Plio-Quaternary Strait of Gibraltar. The strait of Gibraltar results from the work of a stream, which managed water-piracy from an Ocean.
A regional stratigraphic isochron (ca. 8000 C 14 yr B.P.) from final deglaciation of Hudson Strait
This paper, through the analyses of marine sediments in Hudson Strait, provides new insights on the deglaciation of Hudson Strait, focusing on the interval from 8400 to 7900 C 14 yr B.P. Sedimentologic, rock-magnetic, and X-ray fluorescence data
suggest that a red, hematite-rich clay layer was deposited throughout the strait during the final collapse of the Laurentide Ice Sheet in the vicinity of northern Hudson Bay and western Hudson Strait. One explanation for the lack of Labrador sediments
The last glaciation in central Magellan Strait, southernmost Chile
Glacial landforms and drift stratigraphy in central Magellan Strait, southernmost Chile, document repeated fluctuations during the last glacial cycle of outlet lobes from an ice cap centered over the southern Andes. The morphology and stratigraphy
distinguishing five glacier advances (A to E) in central Magellan Strait are discussed along with supporting data from paleoshorelines and chronology.
Quaternary marine terraces on the southern side of the Gibraltar strait and on the northen Atlantic Coast of Marocco : lithostratigraphy, provenance and drainage patterns.
New lithostratigraphic data have been collected from stratigraphic sections in Quaternary marine terraces located along the northen Atlantic and southern Gibraltar Strait coasts (Marocco). Petrographic analyses of detrital modes of the arenites

Fram Strait ice flux calculations and associated arctic ice conditions
The areal outflow of ice through Fram Strait during the period 1953-1984 is estimated on a monthly basis from the geostrophic wind and the ice concentration. Summer ice coverage in various sectors of the Arctic is then compared with the computed
outflow through Fram Strait in various antecedent periods. Lag correlations indicate that interannual variations of summer ice severity in the Pacific side of the Arctic Basin are consistent with fluctuations of Fram Strait outflow during the previous 3-9
Evidence for late-glacial ice dammed lakes in the central Strait of Magellan and Bahía Inútil, southernmost South America

This paper critically appraises the evidence for a succession of ice-dammed lakes in the central Strait of Magellan. The topographic configuration of islands and channels in the southern Strait of Magellan means that the presence of lakes provides
This study focusses on such questions as : 1) when did the Sunda Strait open? 2) where were the effective lines of opening of the Sunda Strait? 3) how long was the time gap between disastrous eruptions? To achieve these aims, the AA. collected
geological and geophysical data around the Sunda Strait and surrounding areas and discuss the results here.
