CANQUA05 Technicalprogram Canadian Quaternary Association Association canadienne pour l’étude du Quaternaire CANQUA 2005 Conference June 5-8 Winnipeg, Manitoba PROGRAM AND ABSTRACTS A MESSAGE FROM THE PREMIER On behalf of the citizens and government of the Province of Manitoba it is my sincere pleasure to send a warm welcome to all scientists, researchers and students attending the Canadian Quaternary Association 2005 Conference here in Winnipeg. As climate change and other environmental issues reach the forefront of the public and government agenda, we rely on accepted bodies of scientific knowledge and research. Indeed, the study of the Quaternary period is an imperative contribution to scientific knowledge. Regardless of whether environmental changes are natural or a result of human activity, we can only benefit from a greater understanding of how certain processes, be they hydrological, geological, biological, and so on, brought us to where we are today. Students and researchers alike are truly fortunate to have this opportunity to gather and discuss the earth’s history with colleagues from other disciplines of study. I invite all visitors to take a special exploration of Manitoba’s terrain. Best wishes for a successful conference!

Gradual climate cooling caused huge continental ice sheets to form. Later, gradual warming caused these to melt during the interglacial periods. The last glacier began forming approximately 110,000 years ago, building until it covered all but the Cypress Hills and the Wood Mountain Plateau region of the Province. The last interglacial period started about 17,000 years ago. The ice sheet melted completely from our borders about 10,000 years ago. This last period of glaciation is called the Wisconsin Glacial Period.

Comparison of the distribution and northern limits of the contemporary soils with the distribution and northern limits of the analogous paleosols then permits the reconstruction of the paleoenvironments. For the purposes of See table of contents comparison the mean annual temperature of the Old Crow area during the Pliocene epoch was also determined (about 4°C) even though this was not an interglacial period. It was found that during the pre-lllinoian interglacial Publisher(s) periods the central Yukon had a mean annual temperature of about 7°C while during the Sangamonian interglacial period it had a mean annual temperature Les Presses de l'Université de Montréal of about - 3°C. During the Holocene epoch, the current interglacial period, the climate has been similar to or only slightly cooler than that existing during the ISSN Sangamonian interglacial period. The fluctuating position of the arctic tree line 0705-7199 (print) (and associated forest soils) during the Holocene epoch, however, indicates 1492-143X (digital) that the climate has also been fluctuating during this time.

  • Geomorphic and Sedimentological History of the Central Lake Agassiz Basin
    Electronic Capture, 2008 The PDF file from which this document was printed was generated by scanning an original copy of the publication. Because the capture method used was 'Searchable Image (Exact)', it was not possible to proofread the resulting file to remove errors resulting from the capture process. Users should therefore verify critical information in an original copy of the publication. Recommended citation: J.T. Teller, L.H. Thorleifson, G. Matile and W.C. Brisbin, 1996.
