Arctic marine phytobenthos of northern Baffin Island
Global climate change is expected to alter the polar bioregions faster than any other marine environment. This study assesses the biodiversity of seaweeds and associated eukaryotic pathogens of an established study site in northern Baffin Island (72° N), providing a baseline inventory for future work assessing impacts of the currently ongoing changes in the Arctic marine environment. A total of...
متن کاملGlacial erosion at the fjord onset zone and implications for the organization of ice flow on Baffin Island, Arctic Canada
Organized conduits of fast ice flow at the fringe of present and past ice sheets move the majority of ice from ice sheet interior to periphery. These relatively narrow corridors play a critical role in feedbacks between landscape evolution and ice sheet dynamics. Here we combine bedrock Be concentrations with distribution of lakes on Baffin Island, Arctic Canada, to constrain the pattern of gla...
متن کاملRapid wastage of the Hazen Plateau ice caps, northeastern Ellesmere Island, Nunavut, Canada
Two pairs of small stagnant ice bodies on the Hazen Plateau of northeastern Ellesmere Island, the St. Patrick Bay ice caps and the Murray and Simmons ice caps, are rapidly shrinking, and the remnants of the St. Patrick Bay ice caps are likely to disappear entirely within the next 5 years. Vertical aerial photographs of these Little Ice Age relics taken during August of 1959 show that the larger...
متن کاملHolocene glaciation and climate evolution of Baffin Island, Arctic Canada
Lake sediment cores and cosmogenic exposure (CE) dates constrain the pattern of deglaciation and evolution of climate across Baffin Island since the last glacial maximum (LGM). CE dating of erratics demonstrates that the northeastern coastal lowlands became ice-free ca.14 ka as the Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) receded from its LGM margin on the continental shelf. Coastal lakes in southeastern Baf...
متن کاملDental caries prevalence in the Baffin Island Eskimo.
A survey of 766 Eskimo children in Baffin Zone of the Northwest Territories showed high levels of dental caries comparable to those found elsewhere in the Arctic. Lowest caries rates were in Pond Inlet, one of the most isolated settlements. The fluoridation of water supplies in Frobisher Bay appeared to be effecting a reduction in dental caries in the permanent teeth but not in the deciduous te...
