摘要: This paper provides a conceptual link between numerous local studies in order to summarize the Late Cenozoic evolution of eastern Canadian continental margin. These have been undertaken recently response renewed hydrocarbon exploration since 1998. The first brief summary morphology and oceanography margin Neogene geologic history. then focusses on Quaternary glacially dominated sedimentation, dealing with constructional features processes erosional processes. It should provide useful comparison other North Atlantic margins considered this volume.
