Abstract

The article focuses on evidence of the course reversal of the Fraser River in British Columbia, Canada during the Pleistocene Epoch. Geochronological analysis of volcanic dams in the Dog Creek region of the Fraser River suggests a reversal of drainage and sediment transport. Topics include glaciofluvial erosion, the formation of the submarine Nitinat Fan, and uplift of the Coast Mountain range.
