Terminal Pleistocene epoch human footprints from the Pacific coast of Canada
Little is known about the ice age human occupation of the Pacific Coast of Canada. Here we present the results of a targeted investigation of a late Pleistocene shoreline on Calvert Island, British Columbia. Drawing upon existing geomorphic information that sea level in the area was 2-3 m lower than present between 14,000 and 11,000 years ago, we began a systematic search for archaeological rem...
متن کاملMorphometric Analysis to Assess Sea Level History and Uplift Rate in the Pleistocene Marine Terraces of Chabahar
Abstract Marine terraces have long been used as baseline geodetic markers of relative past sea levels, reflecting the interaction between vertical crustal movements and sea level oscillations. The terraces age and elevation of shoreline angles can be used to determine uplift rate. Disparate uplift rates in pervious investigation in the study area are related to manual measurements based on ...
متن کاملThe mid-Pleistocene transition in the tropical Pacific.
A sea surface temperature (SST) record based on planktonic foraminiferal magnesium/calcium ratios from a site in the western equatorial Pacific warm pool reveals that glacial-interglacial oscillations in SST shifted from a period of 41,000 to 100,000 years at the mid-Pleistocene transition, 950,000 years before the present. SST changes at both periodicities were synchronous with eastern Pacific...
متن کاملEast Siberia had a lower latitude in the Pleistocene
In Arctic East Siberia many remains of mammoths have been found. In this region there is not sufficient sunlight over the year to allow for the growth of the plants on which these animals feed. Consequently the latitude of these regions must have been lower before the end of the Pleistocene than at present. It is a challenge to reconstruct this geographic shift of the poles in a manner compatib...
متن کاملArctic East Siberia had a lower latitude in the Pleistocene.
Remains of mammoths in Arctic East Siberia, where there is not sufficient sunlight over the year for the growth of the plants on which these animals feed, indicate that the latitude of this region was lower before the end of the Pleistocene than now. Reconstructing this geographic pole shift, we introduce a massive object, which moved in an extremely eccentric orbit and was hot from tidal work ...
