Flow-pattern evolution of the Laurentide and Cordilleran ice sheets across west-central Alberta, Canada: implications for ice sheet growth, retreat and dynamics during the last glacial cycle

ABSTRACT This paper presents a reconstruction of the geometry, dynamics and flow pattern of the Laurentide and Cordilleran ice sheets along the Albertan portion of the eastern Canadian Rocky Mountains during the last glaciation. Sediment–landform associations relating to the evolution of these ice s...
