44. Deglaciation of Penobscot Bay, Maine, USA

Abstract

The Pond Ridge and Pineo Ridge moraines in downeast Maine likely formed at ~16.1 and ~15.7 ka respectively, during cold episodes recorded by [[delta].sup.18O] dips in the GRIP ice core. The elapsed time between these ages is broadly consistent with retreat rates recorded by intervening De Geer moraines, which are readily visible on LiDAR imagery and are believed to be approximately annual. North-northwestward from the southwesterly extension of the Pond Ridge moraine there are three pairs of prominent moraines that are relatively continuous across the study area and could be reliably extrapolated across intervening water bodies. Retreat rates recorded by De Geer moraines suggest that these pairs formed at 15.7-15.8 ka, 15.5-15.6 ka, and ~15.5 ka. Although retreat appears to have occurred slightly faster across Penobscot Bay, a significant calving bay does not seem to have developed there. Instead, the ice margin remained relatively straight, retreating to the north-northwest. De Geer moraines become more widely spaced northward and vanish after ~15.5 ka when the ice margin was north of the head of Penobscot Bay and of Pineo Ridge. This likely reflects higher retreat rates during the initial phases of the Boiling warm period. Just south of Pineo Ridge there were two ice lobes; one retreated to the north and one to the northwest. The latter retreated more rapidly, while the former experienced numerous minor readvances and stillstands until finally pausing at the location of Pineo Ridge. A stillstand of this lobe then resulted in deposition of the Pineo Ridge moraine complex. Les moraines de Pond Ridge et de Pineo Ridge, dans le sud-est du Maine, se sont probablement formees a ~ 16,1 et ~ 15,7 ka, respectivement, lors d'episodes froids enregistres par des baisses de [[delta].sup.18O] dans la carotte de glace GRIP. Le temps ecoule entre ces ages est globalement coherent avec les taux de recul enregistres par les moraines intermediaires de De Geer, qui sont facilement visibles sur l'imagerie LiDAR et sont estimes etre approximativement annuels. Au nord-nord-ouest de l'extension sud-ouest de la moraine de Pond Ridge se trouve trois paires de moraines proeminentes qui sont relativement continues dans la zone d'etude et pourraient etre extrapolees de maniere fiable a travers les plans d'eau interposes. Les taux de recul enregistres par les moraines De Geer suggerent que ces paires se sont formees a 15,7-15,8 ka, 15,5-15,6 ka et ~ 15,5 ka. Bien que le recul semble s'etre produit un peu plus rapidement dans la baie de Penobscot, une importante baie de velage ne semble pas s'y etre developpee. La marge de glace est plutot restee relativement droite, reculant vers le nord-nord-ouest. Les moraines De Geer deviennent plus largement espacees vers le nord et disparaissent apres ~ 15,5 ka lorsque la marge de glace etait au nord de la baie Penobscot et de Pineo Ridge. Cela reftete probablement des taux de retraite plus eleves pendant les phases initiales de la periode chaude de Boiling. Juste au sud de Pineo Ridge, il y avait deux lobes de glace; l'un s'est retire au nord et l'autre au nord-ouest. Ce dernier a recule plus rapidement, tandis que le premier a connu de nombreux avancements mineurs et pauses jusqu'a ce qu'il s'arrete finalement a l'emplacement de Pineo Ridge. Une immobilisation de ce lobe a ensuite entraine le depot du complexe de moraine de Pineo Ridge. [Traduit par la redaction], INTRODUCTION When and how did deglaciation of Penobscot Bay occur? These are the questions we address in this paper. One question, in particular, motivated this study: was there a calving [...]
