Marine Geology Studies on the Scotlan Shelf and Slope

Late Quaternary Progradation and Sand Spillover on the Outer Continental Margin Off Nova Scotia, Southeast Canada

“…These two phenomena were to a large degree responsible for modifications of topography and sediment distribution on the Nova Scotian Shelf as reviewed in a number of earlier studies, including those of Upham (1894), Goldthwait (1924), Johnson (1925), Shepard (1931), and Shepard et al (1934). More recent marine geological investigations bearing in one way or another on the effects of ice and eustatic changes on the Nova Scotian margin have been reported by Shepard (1963), Heezen and Drake (1964), Hubert (1964), Nota and Loring (1964), Cok et al (1965), Marlowe (1965,1969), Rvachev (1965), Silverberg (1965), Clarke et al (1967), Conolly et al (1967), Hubert and Neal (1967), James andStanley (1967, 1968), King (1967a andb, 1969), Medioli et al (1967), , , , Prest and Grant (1969), Stanley and Silverberg (1969).…”
