Biostratigraphic correlation of the western and eastern margins of the Labrador-Baffin Seaway and implications for the regional geology [PDF]
Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland Bulletin, 2016 New analyses of the palynological assemblages in 13 offshore wells on the Canadian margin and six on the West Greenland Margin, in conjunction with onshore data, have led to a new biostratigraphic framework for the Cretaceous–Cenozoic strata of the ...

Shifting sediment depocenters track ice-margin retreat in Baffin Bay
Communications Earth & EnvironmentReconstructing the depositional history of Baffin Bay allows insights into the deglacial retreat of the Laurentide, Innuitian, and Greenland ice sheets from their maximum extent during the Last Glacial Maximum.

Southeast Baffin volcanic margin and the North American‐Greenland plate separation [PDF]
Tectonics, 2001 Plate breakup over plumes is characterized by the development of margins showing extensive magma production both underplated at Moho level and extruded as thick piles of seaward dipping lava formations. The Disko‐Svartenhuk area in west Greenland is one of the few places in the world with exposed seaward dipping basalts forming a prism whose thickness ...

An ice-marginal δ18O record from Barnes Ice Cap, Baffin Island, Canada [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 2002 AbstractBarnes Ice Cap, Baffin Island, Canada, is a remnant of the Laurentide ice sheet that separated from it about 8500 years ago. Owing to recession of the ice cap during the Holocene, Pleistocene-age ice is now exposed along the margin in a distinctive bubble-rich white band.

Structure and Flow in the Margin of the Barnes Ice Cap, Baffin Island, N.W.T., Canada [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 1973 The structure and flow field in the margin of the Barnes Ice Cap was determined through observations on the ice-cap surface, in four bore holes, and in a 125 m ice tunnel. A band of fine bubbly white ice with a single maximum fabric appears at the glacier surface about 160 m from the margin.

Cretaceous and Cenozoic dinoflagellate cysts and other palynomorphs from the western and eastern margins of the Labrador–Baffin Seaway - Fig. 5 [PDF]
Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland Bulletin, 2016 New palynological analysis of samples from 13 offshore wells on the Canadian Margin and six wells on the West Greenland Margin has led to a new event biostratigraphic framework for Cretaceous– Cenozoic strata of the Labrador Sea – Davis Strait – Baffin ...

Submarine geomorphology of the northeastern Baffin Island fiords and cross-shelf troughs
Journal of Maps, 2019 This paper presents a series of 50 geomorphological maps of the seabed of northeastern Baffin Island fiords and cross-shelf troughs, in eastern Arctic Canada. The mapping was produced using swath bathymetry imagery from multiple bathymetry datasets.

Volcanic record of continental thinning in Baffin Bay margins: Insights from Svartenhuk Halvø Peninsula basalts, West Greenland [PDF]
Lithos, 2019 Abstract We report major, trace elements and Pb, Hf, Nd and Sr isotopes in 61–54 Ma old basalts from Svartenhuk Halvo Peninsula (Greenland). This area corresponds to the northernmost exposure of the West Greenland volcanic province, of which the emplacement marks the continental thinning and breakup process leading to the opening of Baffin Bay during

Large-ensemble simulations of the North American and Greenland ice sheets at the Last Glacial Maximum with a coupled atmospheric general circulation–ice sheet model [PDF]
Climate of the PastThe Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) was characterised by huge ice sheets covering the Northern Hemisphere, especially over North America, and by its cold climate.
