| Abstract/Description or Keywords | The central interior plateau of British Columbia, Canada, is dissected by numerous elongate, glacially over-deepened lake basins akin to coastal fiords. An air-gun seismic-reflection investigation of Okanagan Lake shows that the Pleistocene sediment fill is up to 792 m thick and that bedrock has been excavated by repeated Pleistocene glacial erosion to nearly 650 m below sea level. |
