Quaternary geology and glacial history of the Haliburton region, south central Ontario, Canada: A model for glacial and proglacial sedimentation

The pattern of glacigenic sedimentation in the Haliburton region suggests that stagnation is an important element in the regional style of deglaciation in areas of moderate bedrock relief (50-150 m), such as the shield terrane of southern Ontario. The record of subglacial processes and sub-ice environments suggests that stagnation began subglacially during active ice-margin retreat. The style of proglacial sedimentation suggests that topographically controlled subglacial drainage systems were the primary mechanism of sediment delivery to the ice-margin, and the prevalence of ice-contact terraces within these deposits indicates that deposition occurred on and around stagnating ice masses.
