Hydroxyl Band

A rocket-borne cooled (S-1) filter photometer was flown from Resolute Bay, Northwest Territories 75° N during geomagnetically quiet conditions. The derived altitude profile of the (6–2) hydroxyl band emission shows a peak at 95 km. An airglow background of 2.7 R A−1 or less at 8380 A is reported for altitudes above 125 km.

Cornwallis Island

New radiocarbon dates from the University of Washington's Quaternary Isotope Laboratory are given for Cornwallis Island, Northwest Territories, Canada, and these and other radiocarbon dates for the area are assembled in a diagram, including the envelope of a tentative emergence curve. Most of the new dates are derived from surface collections but appear to represent a consistent altitude–age relationship confirming the pattern of previously published dates for the general region.The oldest of the new Holocene dates on marine shells indicate that the Resolute Bay area began emerging by at least 9700 years BP. The highest well developed marine strandlines recognized to date are at an altitude of ca. 105 m. However, the postglacial marine limit is probably some 10 m or more higher. As in adjacent regions, early postglacial emergence was initially rapid, of the order of an average 8.3 m/100 years for the first recorded 75 m, then slowed to an average 0.5 m/100 years for the last 40 m.
