		From November to May, the Baffin Bay region was dominated by 95% ice coverage, whereas bergy ice dominated from July to October during the melting season (Fig.

	AW2004 Abstract: Briner
		The Holocene LOI pattern is repeated in several cores from the Clyde Region, and the surface core pattern is virtually identical to a 210Pb-dated surface core from a neighboring lake.
		The LOI-defined HTM at Clyde is earlier than in adjacent Baffin Bay (Dyke et al., 1996), but is later than lake core estimates for the HTM from southern Baffin Island (e.g., Miller et al., 1999).
		These comparisons suggest that southern Baffin Island warmed before northern Baffin Island, even though both locations were deglaciated at roughly the same time.

	Central Baffin Island 4-D Project - Projects - The stratigraphy and petrology of the Bravo Lake Formation
		The bedrock geology of central Baffin Island is composed mostly of sedimentary rocks (sandy rocks formed in a beach-type environment and mudstones formed in deep ocean basins) and plutonic igneous rocks (crystalline rocks formed from molten magma beneath the surface of the Earth).
		If we can decipher the tectonic processes which operated in the central Baffin region nearly two billion years ago, we may be able to apply it to the modern Earth in order to gain a greater understanding of those forces shaping our world today.
		The Bravo Lake Formation comprises the upper sequence of the Paleoproterozoic Piling Group, and is characterized by a thick package of metamorphosed mafic volcanic, ultramafic, mafic metasedimentary, and rusty psammitic rocks, with lesser amounts of pelitic rocks, iron-formation, and pyrite-rich massive sulphides.
