Little Ice Age glacial activity in the Mt. Waddington area, British Columbia Coast Mountains, Canada

Abstract: The establishment of fourteen Little Ice Age (LIA) glacier chronologies in the Mt. Waddington area led to the development of an extended history of glacial activity in this portion of the southern British Columbia Coast Mountains, Canada. The glaciers were located within four different mountain ranges, and were of varying size and aspect. Dendrochronological and lichenometric techniques were used to provide relative age estimates of moraines formed as glacier termini retreated from advanced positions. Evidence… Show more

“…In the Quaternary the region experienced several phases of glaciation with many glaciers carving U‐shaped valleys and producing glacial deposits [ Osborn and Luckman , ]. Numerous climatological and glaciological studies have dated abandoned terminal moraines of the Tiedemann Glacier, which provide us with a detailed picture of the development of this glacier in the last 6000 years [e.g., Laroque and Smith , , ; Osborn and Luckman , ].…”

“…Tree-ring and lichenometric data from marine glaciers in the Canadian Rockies [13,14,48] show glacier activity of 1767-1784, 1821-1837, 1871-1900, 1915-1928 and 1942-1946. The fluctuations of 1777, 1807-1818, 1874-1894 and 1912-1918 were also evidenced by tree rings in glaciers of Alaska.…”

“…Tree-ring dating, as an accurate method, has been widely used to reconstruct past glacier fluctuations in many areas of the world, such as the Canadian Rockies [11][12][13][14][15][16], the Alaska [17][18][19][20], the Andes [21][22][23][24][25][26], the Alps [27], etc. On the southeastern Tibetan Plateau, there are a great number of temperate glaciers, which account for about 22.2% of the total glacier area in China [6].…”
