Pleistocene palynostratigraphy in the St. Lawrence Valley and middle Estuary

Climatically controlled river terrace staircases: A worldwide Quaternary phenomenon

“…Clet-Pellerin and Occhietti, 2000). Despite extending well south of the maximum glacial limits, the Lower Mississippi terrace sequence can be dated back only to the Middle Pleistocene (Blum et al, 2000;Blum and Straffin, 2001), but other systems in the southern part of the continent have records spanning the Late Cenozoic and sometimes even the whole of the Cenozoic.…”

Late Wisconsinan Sedimentation in the Québec City Region: Evidence for Energetic Subaqueous Fan Deposition During Initial Deglaciation

“…The re-interpretations presented in this paper, in combination with work both upstream and downstream of Pointe SaintNicolas (Clet et al, 1991;Clet and Occhietti, 1996;Clet-Pellerin and Occhietti, 2000), suggest that stratigraphic terminology used in the Québec City region (Fig. 2) should be abandoned in favor of terminology used in the central St. Lawrence Valley.…”
