| Abstract: | A synthesis is presented of the history of deglaciation, vegetation cover and climate in New Brunswick, Canada, during that part of the Wisconsinan Late-glacial period (12-9 ka BP) for which detailed records exist. Curves of inferred temperature variations in the region during this period are presented based upon qualitative interpretations of plant records and quantitative estimates based upon fossil chironomid assemblages. |
