Abstract:
ABSTRACT Champlain Sea history is directly linked to Late Wisconsinan deglacial episodes. Champlain Sea Phase I (Charlesbourg Phase) began in the Québec area at about 12.4 ka. It represented a western extension of the Goldthwait Sea between remnant Appalachian ice masses and the Laurentide Ice Sheet. Further south, at about the same time, in the Appalachian uplands and piedmont, high-level glacial lakes were impounded by the ice-front during glacial retreat toward NNW: lakes Vermont, Memphrémagog and Mégantic. Lowlands of the Upper St. Lawrence and Lake Champlain valleys were progressively deglaciated and inundated by Lake Iroquois and Lake Vermont. At about 12.1 ka, these two lakes coalesced and formed a single water-body, here referred to as Lake Candona. After the Ulverton-Tingwick Moraine was constructed, this lake extended northeastward onto the Appalachian piedmont where varved sediments containing Candona subtriangulata underlie marine clays. Current data and interpretations bring into question the former concept of the Highland Front Moraine System. The invasion of the main basin, or Champlain Sea Phase II, began around 12 ka. Replacement of Lake Candona by the sea resulted in a fall of about 60 m in water levels. Champlain Sea Phase III began at the end of the Saint-Narcisse episode, at about 10.8 ka. At this time marine waters were able to enter valleys of the Laurentian Highlands where brackish or fresh paramarine basins developed.

Abstract:
Abstract The growth, phenology, and susceptibility to winter injury of 82 black walnut provenances were compared in a northwestern Vermont provenance test plantation. After seven growing seasons, provenances from MI, central OH, northern IN, and PA exhibit the best combination of growth, budbreak, and winter hardiness characteristics and are recommended for planting in Vermont's Champlain and Connecticut river valleys. Provenances from MI appear to be particularly well-suited to the environment of Vermont's Champlain Valley, as exemplified by a provenance from Volinia, MI which is 26% taller than the plantation average and among the latest to begin growth in spring. Despite fast growth, provenances from KY, IL, and VA do not appear suitable for planting in Vermont because of their relatively early budbreak and high susceptibility to winter injury. Provenances from the Great Plains are not recommended for planting in Vermont due to their relatively slow growth rate and early budbreak. North. J. Appl. For. 5:40-45, March 1988

Abstract:
AbstractLandslides in Champlain Sea clays have played an important role in shaping Eastern Ontario’s landscape. Despite extensive research, there is a limited understanding of the relations between landslide activity, climatic controls, and the geomorphic evolution of river valleys in Champlain Sea clay deposits. With these issues in mind, a study was undertaken to determine the controls on the spatio-temporal distribution of contemporary landslide activity in valley slopes composed of Champlain Sea clay. The study area was the Green’s Creek valley located in the east end of Ottawa, Ontario. Observations and measurements indicate that landslide activity is closely related to valley development. An inventory of landslide activity from 73 years of aerial photographs revealed that landslides occurred preferentially in slopes located on the outside of meander bends, and that they often recurred in the same slope after a period of ripening. The largest and highest density of landslides occurred along a major tributary valley where geomorphic features such as knickpoints, V-shaped valley profiles and bedrock depth-to-slope height ratios reflect an unstable phase of valley development. A small number of landslides incurred successive failures along the slopes of the backscarp for several years-to-decades after the initial failure. Correlation analysis showed that the temporal distribution of landslide activity has fluctuated in response to decadal-scale changes in the amount of precipitation.

Abstract:
The Lower Ordovician (Ibexian) Fort Cassin Formation of New York State and Vermont consists mainly of carbonates that were deposited in a subtidal storm-influenced setting. The low diversity trilobite fauna is dominated overwhelmingly by the isoteline, Isoteloides. Eleven species representing at least nine genera are described; Acidiphorus whittingtoni is new. The bathyurine genus Goniotelina Whittington and Ross is regarded as paraphyletic and is synonymized with Acidiphorus Raymond. The presence of Isoteloides canalis (Whitfield; = I. latimarginatus Fortey), I. peri Fortey and Bathyurellus platypus Fortey indicates a correlation of the Fort Cassin with the Strigigenalis caudata Zone of the Catoche Formation of western Newfoundland.

Abstract:
Three lithologically distinct alluvial units of Holocene age can be distinguished along trenched cross sections of the Missisquoi valley bottom. The oldest is of early Holocene age, and the associated floodplain had aggraded to nearly its present level by 8000 14C yr B.P. At that time, early Archaic projectile points were deposited in a fire hearth 50 cm below the surface. Abandonment of this floodplain was followed by the development of an A-E-Bt soil profile. Accumulation of a younger floodplain had begun by 6400 14C yr B.P. and local sedimentation persisted to ca. 500 14C yr B.P., as indicated by radiocarbon dates of buried woody debris (including large logs) and of charcoal. Alluvium of the modern floodplain began accreting after A.D. 1860 and contains machine-cut square nails, whiteware ceramics, and coal clinker. Previous locations of the river channel can be reconstructed from relict surfaces marked by paleosols, the preserved depositional stratigraphy, and the radiocarbon samples. Immediately after regression of the Champlain Sea from this part of the valley, and before 8000 14C yr B.P., the river incised late Fleistocene marine silts and clays at an average rate of at least 1 m/100 yr. After the interval of downcutting, episodic lateral migration became the dominant process, with the rate varying between 0 and 4 m/100 yr. The early Holocene incision was most likely a lagged response to postglacial crustal rebound, whereas strong soil development and floodplain stability between 8000 and 6400 14C yr B.P. may reflect an independently documented warmer, and perhaps drier, climate in New England at this time. Finally, the post-A.D. 1860 period of active floodplain sedimentation may have been a response to timber clear-cutting, row crop agriculture, and cattle and sheep grazing in the watershed.

Abstract:
Near Burlington, Vermont, the Champlain Thrust fault placed massive Cambrian dolostones over calcareous shales of Ordovician age during the Ordovician Taconic Orogeny. Although the Champlain Thrust has been studied previously throughout the Champlain Valley, the architecture and structural evolution of its fault zone have never been systematically defined. To document these fault zone characteristics, a detailed structural analysis of multiple outcrops was completed along a 51 km transect between South Hero and Ferrisburgh, Vermont. The Champlain Thrust fault zone is predominately within the footwall and preserves at least four distinct events that are heterogeneous is both style and slip direction. The oldest stage of structures—stage 1—are bedding parallel thrust faults that record a slip direction of top-to-the-W and generated localized fault propagation folds of bedding and discontinuous cleavages. This stage defines the protolith zone and has a maximum upper boundary of 205 meters below the Champlain Thrust fault surface. Stage 2 structures define the damage zone and form two sets of subsidiary faults form thrust duplexes that truncate older recumbent folds of bedding planes and early bedding-parallel thrusts. Slickenlines along stage 2 faults record a change in slip direction from top-to-the-W to top-to-the-NW. The damage zone is ~197 meters thick with its upper boundary marking the lower boundary of the fault core. The core, which is ~8 meters thick, is marked by the appearance of mylonite, phyllitic shales, fault gouge, fault breccia, and cataclastic lined faults. In addition, stage 3 sheath folds of bedding and cleavage are preserved as well as tight folds of stage 2 faults. Stage 3 faults include thrusts that record slip as top-to-the-NW and -SW and coeval normal faults that record slip as top-to-the-N and -S. The Champlain Thrust surface is the youngest event as it cuts all previous structures, and records fault reactivation with any top-to-the-W slip direction and a later top-to-the-S slip. Axes of mullions on this surface trend to the SE and do not parallel slickenlines. The Champlain Thrust fault zone evolved asymmetrically across its principal slip surface through the process of strain localization and fault reactivation. Strain localization is characterized by the changes in relative age, motion direction along faults, and style of structures preserved within the fault zone. Reactivation of the Champlain Thrust surface and the corresponding change in slip direction was due to the influence of pre-existing structures at depth. This study defines the architecture of the Champlain Thrust fault zone and documents the importance of comparing the structural architecture of the fault zone core, damage zone, and protolith to determine the comprehensive fault zone evolution.
