  • Raised Marine Features, Radiocarbon Dates, and Sea Level Changes, Eastern Melville Peninsula, Arctic Canada’ L.A
    ARCTIC VOL. 44, NO. 1 (MARCH 1991) R 63-73 Raised Marine Features, Radiocarbon Dates, and Sea Level Changes, Eastern Melville Peninsula, Arctic Canada’ L.A. DREDGE2 (Received 5 April 1990; accepted in revised form 9 October 1990) ABSTRACT. Radiocarbon dates from eastern Melville Peninsula indicatethat deglaciation of western Foxe Basin occurredabout 6900 years ago, although lateice persisted in an area northwest of Hall Lake and on the central plateau. Relative sea level was as high as 144 m above present at that time. ’ho new well-controlled sea level curves depict emergence as an exponential decay function. Marine limit elevations and nested curves indicate a major ice-loading centre in south-central Foxe Basin. Thesedata and archaeological dates suggest a secondary recent rebound centre in the northern part of the basin. Flights of raised beaches, prevalentin the area, are composed of angular limestone fragments and suggest that frost-riving occurs in shallow foreshore environments. The prominentwash line near the marine limit suggests that Foxe Basin had less sea ice cover prior to 6OOO years ago but that coastal processes have been similar to present since that time. Key words: Arctic, coasts, archaeology, radiocarbon dating, glacial history, emergence, sea level, geomorphology RESUMl?.

Alistair Crame1 6 1British Antarctic Survey, High Cross, Madingley Road, Cambridge, CB3 0ET 7 2Instituto de Geociências, Universidade de São Paulo, Rua do Lago, 562, 05508-080, São 8 Paulo, Brazil. 9 Email: [email protected] 10 Telephone: +44 (0)1223 221393 11 12 Abstract 13 14 The fossil community from the early Miocene Cape Melville Formation (King George Island, 15 Antarctica) does not show the archaic retrograde nature of modern Antarctic marine 16 communities, despite evidence, such as the presence of dropstones, diamictites and striated 17 rocks, that it was deposited in a glacial environment. Unlike modern Antarctic settings, and 18 the upper units of the Eocene La Meseta Formation on Seymour Island, Antarctica, which are 19 10 million years older, the Cape Melville Formation community is not dominated by sessile 20 suspension feeding ophiuroids, crinoids or brachiopods. Instead, it is dominated by infaunal 21 bivalves, with a significant component of decapods, similar to present day South American 1 22 settings. It is possible that the archaic retrograde structure of the modern community did not 23 fully evolve until relatively recently, maybe due to factors such as further cooling and 24 isolation of the continent leading to glaciations, which resulted in a loss of shallow shelf 25 habitats. 26 27 Keywords: Fossil, Antarctica, early Miocene, Community Structure, Decapod, Assemblage 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 2 41 Introduction 42 43 Modern Antarctic marine benthic communities are dominated by sessile suspension 44 feeding organisms in many shelf areas (Gili et al.

  • I. the Birds Observed in Central and South-East Baffin Island

WYNNE-EDWARDS INTRODUCTION THE Baird expedition(1950) was based at Clyde,approximately 70 ø N, on the east coast of Baffin Island. The party was conveyedthere by air and landedon the seaice on May 19 and 20 (Baird, 1950, 1951). Diverse scientific interests were served by the establishmentof a number of camps in the interior, during the next few days, by our 'Norseman' aircraft; the zoological unit, consisting of Alexander Anderson and me, took up permanent quarters at Camp B, at the head of Clyde Inlet, on May 24. We stayed there 12 weeks,devoting our attention to the collectionof plants, freshwater and terrestrial animals,and above all to a study of the breedingbirds. Between August 14 and 19 we made an important excursionto the south to visit Cape Searle (67ø 13' N, 62ø 30' W), the site of an im- mense colony of fulmars. The airplane landed us at Padloping,250 miles southeast along the coast from Clyde; from there we reached Cape Searle Island, about 25 miles distant from Padloping, by boat, and remained there two nights. Some observationswere made at FrobisherBay Airfield, in southern Baffin Island, wherea few days were spent on the inward and outward journeys,and also at other campsof the expeditionin the Clyde area. Previously, in 1937, I had accompaniedCommander Donald B. MacMillan on an expedition to Frobisher Bay, in the Gloucester schooner GERTRUDE THEBA UD.

The survey was enhanced through the guidance of local knowledge and inclusion of Inuit Qaujimjatuqangit (IQ) from ten Baffin Island communities. With the noted exception of areas on Baffin Island where local Inuit knowledge indicated that no caribou could be found, all of Baffin Island and the northern third of Melville Peninsula were surveyed. In addition, ground surveys were completed in areas around communities where caribou presence was largely unknown but suspected to be very low. We observed 1,130 individuals across all Baffin Island and ancillary islands and northern Melville Peninsula representing an estimated 571,369 km2. Caribou observed included 63 within the North Baffin grouping survey strata, and 824 within the South Baffin grouping survey strata, and 26 on northern Melville Peninsula.
