Abstract
- The article discusses a study on the sequence stratigraphy of a glaciated basin fill using an integrated data set of cores, out-crop data, seismic transects from the Vars-Winchester esker in the Champlain Sea basin in Ottawa, Ontario. The researchers explained that the esker has been obtained from the underlying till by water that flowed through a subglacial conduit. They conclude that the geology of the esker shows gradual and catastrophic processes.
