Figure 10.9 Deglacial upper marine limit (maximum relative sea level in meters above present sea level, m.a.s.l.) in the BBDS region (modified from Dyke et al., 2005). In the absence of detailed local observations, the upper marine limit can be used as a first indicator of risk in permafrost regions. At elevations below the upper marine limit, fine-grained ice-rich deposits may be encountered, depending on local depositional history and ground temperature regime. Contour interval is 25 m (the 0 m contour is dashed).
