Troisième Bibliographie Sur Le Glaciel Couvrant Principalement La Période De 1974 À 2010 Département de géomatique appliquée, Université de Sherbrooke Troisième bibliographie sur le glaciel couvrant principalement la période de 1974 à 2010 Jean-Claude DIONNE Professeur émérite Université Laval, Québec Bulletin de recherche no 186 ISSN 1713-7667 Mai 2011 Légende des figures Figure 1. Amas d’une trentaine de cailloux de schiste argileux à la surface du couvert glaciel de 75 cm d’épaisseur recouvrant la batture rocheuse, à Grondines, rive nord du haut estuaire du Saint-Laurent; le plus gros fragment : mesure 60x60x15 cm et pèse environ 120 kg (14-03-96). Figure 2. Grande nappe de vase de deux centimètres d’épaisseur à la surface du couvert de glace sur la batture, à Montmagny, côte sud du moyen estuaire du Saint- Laurent (27-03-89). Figure 3. Rainure superficielle faite par un radeau de glace entraîné par le jusant, sur la batture vaseuse, à Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré; rive nord de l’estuaire du Saint- Laurent (19-03-96). Figure 4. Rainure creusée dans la batture argileuse par un bloc de conglomérat poussé vers la mer par des radeaux de glace dans le schorre inférieur, à l’Isle-Verte, côte sud de l’estuaire maritime du Saint-Laurent; la longueur de la rainure relique excède 125 m; le bloc affouilleur mesure 3x3x3 m et pèse environ 50 tonnes; en 1990, il a été déplacé latéralement de 6 m; par la suite il a migré vers la mer, en moyenne, de 3 m par année (14-04-90). Introduction La présente bibliographie complète celles qui ont été publiées antérieurement sur le glaciel (Dionne, 1969, 1974). Elle comprend en majeure partie (plus de 83 %) des références couvrant la période 1974-1990. La balance est composée de publications parues avant 1974, soit plus de 10 % durant la période 1960-1973 et seulement 6 % environ de publications antérieures à 1960. Ces références n’apparaissant pas dans la bibliographie de 1974, elles s’ajoutent donc à la liste. La nouvelle bibliographie contient 1 148 références qui, en grande partie, concernent les aspects morpho-sédimentologiques du glaciel ; celle qui date de 1974 en comptait 465. Au total, les deux bibliographies totalisent plus de 1 600 références. Le domaine du glaciel a connu un progrès important au cours des dernières décennies, notamment entre 1974 et 1999 (75 %) des références. Plusieurs travaux concernent l’action des icebergs et des stamukhi sur les fonds marins et lacustres des régions arctiques et antarctiques, mais d’autres aussi nombreux portent sur les littoraux actuels et anciens des régions froides de la planète. Un ouvrage fondamental, en anglais, a aussi été publié récemment par le professeur Alexander P. Lisitsin (2002) sur le rôle morpho-sédimentologique des glaces et des icebergs. On trouvera dans sa bibliographie l’essentiel de la littérature russe sur le sujet. À l’instar de la bibliographie de 1974, celle-ci n’a pas la prétention d’avoir réuni sous ce couvert tous les travaux portant sur les divers aspects du glaciel. La plupart des références mentionnées concernent des publications en français et en anglais, langues pratiques de l’auteur. À la différence des deux premières bibliographies sur le glaciel (Dionne, 1969, 1974), celle-ci n’est ni annotée ni accompagnée d’un index des sujets, outils pourtant fort utiles. Seuls quelques dizaines de titres non indicatifs sont accompagnés d’une brève annotation sur leur intérêt pour le glaciel. Malgré cette lacune, nous croyons que la liste des travaux réunis ici facilitera le travail des chercheurs soucieux de se renseigner sur les acquis et de rendre à César son dû. À une époque dominée par la multiplication des outils informatiques, il est décevant de constater trop souvent la minceur des bibliographies accompagnant les articles scientifiques dans le domaine des sciences de la Terre. À titre d’exemple, mentionnons ici un article sur le glaciel paru récemment dans Sedimentary Geology (Zhong, et al., 2006). Cet article signale des formes sédimentaires mineures, formes que nous avons décrites et illustrées dans de nombreux articles, en français et en anglais, dans divers périodiques et autres publications (Dionne, 1972, 1985, 1988 ; Dionne et Laverdière, 1972); formes qui sont aussi mentionnées dans certains manuels de sédimentologie dont celui de Reineck et Singh (1980). Or, l’article de Zhong et al., (2006) ne mentionne aucune de ces publications sur le sujet. On s’interroge alors sur le choix des évaluateurs dans des périodiques considérés de haut niveau comme ceux de la maison Elsevier. Bien que le rôle morpho-sédimentologique dans les différents environnements sédimentaires soit mieux connu et documenté aujourd’hui, il reste encore beaucoup à faire pour connaître l’étendue, l’ampleur et l’importance des processus, des formes et des dépôts résultant de l’activité glacielle dans le monde. Un ouvrage général sur le glaciel ainsi qu’un atlas seraient un apport fondamental. Certains l’ont déjà suggéré ; nous y avons aussi sérieusement songé ; mais il se fait tard pour entreprendre cette lourde tâche. Quelqu’un prendra-t-il la relève ? En attendant, nous conservons nos nombreux documents sur le sujet ainsi qu’une collection de plusieurs milliers de diapositives couleurs. L’heure des archives a sonné !

  • The Structure and Composition of Vegetation in the Lake-Fill Peatlands of Indiana
    2001. Proceedings of the Indiana Academy of Science 1 10:51-78 THE STRUCTURE AND COMPOSITION OF VEGETATION IN THE LAKE-FILL PEATLANDS OF INDIANA Anthony L. Swinehart 1 and George R. Parker: Department of Forestry and Natural Resources, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana 47907 Daniel E. Wujek: Department of Biology, Central Michigan University, Mount Pleasant, Michigan 48859 ABSTRACT. The vegetation of 16 lake-fill peatlands in northern Indiana was systematically sampled. Peatland types included fens, tall shrub bogs, leatherleaf bogs and forested peatlands. No significant difference in species richness among the four peatland types was identified from the systematic sampling. Vegetation composition and structure, along with water chemistry variables, was analyzed using multi- variate statistical analysis. Alkalinity and woody plant cover accounted for much of the variability in the herbaceous and ground layers of the peatlands, and a successional gradient separating the peatlands was evident. A multivariate statistical comparison of leatherleaf bogs from Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, New York, New Jersey and New Hampshire was made on the basis of vegetation composition and frequency and five climatic variables. The vascular vegetation communities of Indiana peatlands and other peatlands in the southern Great Lakes region are distinct from those in the northeastern U.S., Ohio and the northern Great Lakes. Some of these distinctions are attributed to climatic factors, while others are related to biogeo- graphic history of the respective regions. Keywords: Peatlands, leatherleaf bogs, fens, ecological succession, phytogeography Within midwestern North America, the such as Chamaedaphne calyculata, Androm- northern counties of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio eda glaucophylla, and Carex oligospermia of- 1 represent the southern extent of peatland com- ten make "southern outlier peatlands ' con- munities containing characteristic plant spe- spicuous to botanists, studies of such cies of northern or boreal affinity.

  • Harvest Distribution and Derivation of Atlantic Flyway Canada Geese
    Articles Harvest Distribution and Derivation of Atlantic Flyway Canada Geese Jon D. Klimstra,* Paul I. Padding U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Division of Migratory Bird Management, 11510 American Holly Drive, Laurel, Maryland 20708 Abstract Harvest management of Canada geese Branta canadensis is complicated by the fact that temperate- and subarctic- breeding geese occur in many of the same areas during fall and winter hunting seasons. These populations cannot readily be distinguished, thereby complicating efforts to estimate population-specific harvest and evaluate harvest strategies. In the Atlantic Flyway, annual banding and population monitoring programs are in place for subarctic- breeding (North Atlantic Population, Southern James Bay Population, and Atlantic Population) and temperate- breeding (Atlantic Flyway Resident Population [AFRP]) Canada geese. We used a combination of direct band recoveries and estimated population sizes to determine the distribution and derivation of the harvest of those four populations during the 2004–2005 through 2008–2009 hunting seasons. Most AFRP geese were harvested during the special September season (42%) and regular season (54%) and were primarily taken in the state or province in which they were banded. Nearly all of the special season harvest was AFRP birds: 98% during September seasons and 89% during late seasons. The regular season harvest in Atlantic Flyway states was also primarily AFRP geese (62%), followed in importance by the Atlantic Population (33%). In contrast, harvest in eastern Canada consisted mainly of subarctic geese (42% Atlantic Population, 17% North Atlantic Population, and 6% Southern James Bay Population), with temperate- breeding geese making up the rest. Spring and summer harvest was difficult to characterize because band reporting rates for subsistence hunters are poorly understood; consequently, we were unable to determine the magnitude of subsistence harvest definitively.
