Postglacial history of the bowhead whale and of driftwood penetration; implications for paleoclimate, central Canadian Arctic. By Arthur S. Dyke and Thomas F. Morris

About this book

This report documents changes in the summer range of the bowhead whale (Balaena mysticetus) throughout postglacial time, for the central Canadian Arctic between the Beaufort Sea and Baffin Bay, as compared to changes in frequency of penetration of boreal driftwood during the same time interval in the same area. Variations in Quaternary climate are also considered.
