Missing pg.64. / This thesis is one of a number of studies of the Pleistocene history of the Labrador Peninsula that have been carried out from the McGill Sub-Arctic Research Laboratory since 1955...To date, the study of glacial geomorphology has been the most important single field of research. Indeed, for three years after 1957 the Laboratory provided not only a centrally placed base, but most of the workers in this field in Peninsular Labrador Ungava. The Director at that time organized a programme to elucidate the last deglaciation of the whole peninsula. The original field work, carried out in carefully selected, widely spaced areas has provided a framework for later studies. Members of the Laboratory staff have carried out investigations in a number of discrete regions. [...]

The importance of Labrador-Ungava as one of the main gathering grounds and centres of dispersal of the Laurentide ice sheet, and as the location of the final disappearance of the ice was recognized as early as 1896 with the publication of the reports of the government geologist, A.P. Low. Despite this knowledge the peninsula has received very little attention until recently, due undoubtedly to its inaccessibility, and to the practical difficulties of field research in the subarctic environment. Until about 1945 the studies of glacial geomorphology that had been completed ( with the exception of the early work of Low) were almost entirely confined to the coastal regions, in particular to the Atlantic coast of Labrador. The most significant scientific contribution was that of Tanner, who visited the coast of Labrador in 1937 and 1939. The investigations of Tanner and his colleagues, and Tanner (1944) synthesis of the reports of earlier geologists were published in a summary of the glaciations of the entire peninsula, which remains the standard regional reference to this day. Inevitably, with the meagre, and o:tten not entirely accurate information of the interior parts of Labrador Ungava there is a marked contrast in the degree to which detailed evidence is available to the glacial geomorphologist, attempting to decipher the details of glaciation over the whole peninsula.

The peninsule of Labrador-Ungava* (Map 1) is a population desert, having harsh, cold winters and brief, warrn, fly-cursed summers, but offering the glacial geomorphologist ample scope for working on virgin territory, with abundant landforrns often of textbook simplicity. However, it is only in recent years thot extensive aerial photography has been undertaken, and this, together wlth certain military and economie developments within the peninsule, has led to an increasing awareness of the significance of the glacial history of the a rea. These developments led ultimately to the establishment in 1954, of the McGi Il Sub-Arctic Research La bora tory, through which it was proposed to develop a scientific research programme related to this little known a rea. With the establishment of the Laboratory, a Field Director was appointed by McGill University to supervise the studies of the younger workers on the staff. A natural outcome of the system was for an emphasis to develop along the lin es of the research interests of the senior man. Under the direction of Dr. J. D. Ives the system developed into what Matthew (196la) has termed the 1 McGill Programme in relation to the deglaciation of the peninsula. [...]
