Report that they have examined 16 lakes
or sites on a west-east transect through central Alberta: Gregg
Lake, Mary Gregg Lake, Fairfax Lake, Goldeye Lake, Lake Wabamun,
Smallboy Lake, Muskrat Bog, Lac Ste. Anne, Lake Isle, Hastings
Lake, Cooking Lake, Elk Island Park, Joseph Lake, Baptiste Lake,
Lofty Lake, Moore Lake. Paper includes a pollen diagram and some
preliminary discussion of the Fairfax Lake record, includes total
a pigments curve for Gregg Lake and Fairfax Lake, a summary pollen
diagram, percentage diatom community diagram and preliminary
discussion of the Moore Lake record, and a summary stratigraphic
diagram for the Lofty Lake record. They note that detrital coal in
the sediment at Fairfax Lake makes the basal date (of around 11,250
yr BP) somewhat doubtful.
