Le rôle d’un courant de glace tardif dans la déglaciation de la baie James

Abstract: RÉSUMÉ D'énormes quantités de glace du secteur du Labrador de l'Inlandsis laurentidien ont été évacuées du bassin d'Hudson durant les 1000 à 1500 ans précédant la transgression de la Mer de Tyrrell vers 8 ka. Cette période de déglaciation intensive fut marquée par la formation de courants de glace de direction générale SO dont l'existence a été démontrée dans le nord-ouest ontarien. De nouvelles mesures d'écoulement et de transport glaciaire dans le bassin de la baie James et dans le nord de l'Abitib… Show more

“…Outcrops showing the best potential for the preservation of this complex ice flow sequence will have to be carefully targeted to maximize chances of locating sites where the three generations of striations are preserved. A similar situation exists along the east coast of southern James Bay (Veillette, 1997). There, outcrops showing three intersecting striated facets, including those formed by two opposing ice flows, were correlated with widespread, regional, ice-flow events.…”

“…While Low could not provide a detailed configuration of the ice mass, his interpretation of the shifting centres of dispersion, derived from striation measurements taken along the coast only, is most remarkable, because the proposed locations of his ice divides correspond to positions south of Lake Mistassini for the oldest northwestward ice flow, and north of the lake for the second oldest west-southwestward ice flow, as proposed in the present paper. This chronology of striated surfaces and associated glacial transport was throrougly validated along the James Bay eastern coast and inland as far east as Matagami and Chibougamau Veillette, 1995Veillette, , 1997Veillette and Roy, 1995;Parent et al, 1996). Low's insightful interpretation was overlooked by glacial geoscientists for nearly a century.…”

“…In the James Bay area, a late-glacial eastward flow gradually shifted to the SSE over a period of a few hundred years. This event triggered an ice stream along the James Bay corridor shortly before the Cochrane surges (Veillette, 1997). On the Ottawa Islands, Andrews and Falconer (1969) reported an early northeastward flow that progressively shifted to the SSW during the final stage of deglaciation.…”

“…Deglaciation of Hudson Bay took place in four phases: i) the development of Lake Agassiz/Ojibway in southern Hudson Bay between~13 and 8.45 cal ka BP (Vincent and Hardy, 1977;Dyke, 2004); ii) the development of a calving bay in Hudson Strait that migrated southward along the contact line between the KIS and QLIS; iii) the occurrence of the Cochrane ice surges that penetrated into Lake Agassiz/Ojibway to form floating ice tongues 400 years before it drained (Hardy, 1977); and iv) the catastrophic lake drainage and the following invasion of Tyrrell Sea waters at~8.47 cal ka BP (Hardy, 1977;Veillette, 1997;Barber et al, 1999;Veillette et al, 1999;Clarke et al, 2004;Dyke, 2004).…”
