INTRODUCTION

The Atlantic Canada Ice Dynamics (ACID) workgroup comprises geoscientists in fields such as marine geophysics, sedimentology, oceanography, remote sensing, geomorphology, glacial geology, geochronology, glaciology and ice-sheet modelling, and paleoclimatology. The group meets biannually to discuss advances in knowledge of the dynamics in paleo-glacier ice cover throughout Atlantic Canada and related oceanographic, biologic, and climatic effects. For the past four years, the group has been charged with compiling and interpreting regional databases from geological surveys, producing glaciologically consistent conceptual models that are compatible with ...
