Wisconsinan glaciations

Ice-flow indicators indicate the area was influenced primarily by the Laurentide Ice Sheet flowing to the WSW during the last Wisconsinan glaciation. Pebble lithology data show that surface till composition reflects local provenance of the underlying...

At the maximum of the late Wisconsinan glaciation, sea level was much reduced and the sea margin was well out on the continental shelf. The subsequent rise of the sea relative to the land determined the marine history of Long Island Sound. Local field data reveal only the more recent parts of the sea level history of the region, so reliance must be placed on... 

Thompson 1977a). The ice-core depth to the H/W (Holocene/ Wisconsinan) transition occurs at different depths depending on the rate of accumulation of snow at each site. The H/W transitions in the Antarctic and Greenland cores occur at about the same time in the past which confirms the bipolar occurrence of continental glaciation (Adapted from Thompson and Mosley-Thompson 1981, Figure 6)...
