Recent Changes of Sea-level Along the Northeast Coast of Brodeur Peninsula, Baffin Island, N.W.T., Canada

Abstract

Describes a geomorphic investigation of raised marine depositional features. Two sets were identified; a younger up to 375 ft above sea level is referred to the Recent isostatic emergence of the area; the older and higher set are considered evidence of either an older emergence or earlier deglaciation. Investigation of Eskimo Spit (map) showed uplift to be continuing or to have ceased only recently.
