Abstract

The Cordilleran Ice Sheet developed over British Columbia and surrounding areas repeatedly during the Pleistocene and most recently during Marine Oxygen Isotope Stage 2 (ca. 25-10 ka). Landforms and deposits of the last glaciation are dominant surface materials; older glacial sediments locally occur below the last-glacial sediments. The ice sheet deformed the lithosphere on which in rested; the deformation is captured in raised and deformed marine and lake shorelines.
