Abstract

The Lake Saint-Jean lowland is a particular area in eastern Canada as it constitutes an important Late Quaternary depocenter compared with other surrounding onshore regions. Here, the recent literature about the Late Quaternary history of the Lake Saint-Jean depocenter from the glaciated period to present-day is summarized; subsequently, we present some preserved landscape features that record such history.
