This is overlain by a local montane till devoid of shield erratics. The final phase was deposition of a mantle of glaciolacustrine and deltaic sediments of glacial lake mackenzie. Montane glaciers deposited several interbedded locally/-derived tills in upper north nahanni river valley.

Deltaic sedimentation in glacial lake douglas melting glaciers caused by a sudden decrease of capacity in sediment- laden streams as the gradient abruptly decreases.
Lake - lake - sediments and sedimentation: lake sediments are comprised mainly of clastic material (sediment of clay, silt, and sand sizes), organic debris, chemical precipitates, or combinations of these. The relative abundance of each depends upon the nature of the local drainage basin, the climate, and the relative age of a lake.
Sediment was transported by streams from the glacier and from nearby deglaciated uplands. Gravel and sand was deposited on deltas, whereas the finer fraction was carried out into the lake mainly by density underflow.
Sediments deposited in a lake at the front of a glacier in the svartisen area, norway, have been studied between 1957 and 1974. Until 1959, they were almost completely covered by an outwash plain.
Sediments deposited in a lake at the front of a glacier in the svartisen area, norway, have been studied between 1957 and 1974. Until 1959, they were almost completely covered by an outwash plain (sandur), but subsequent erosion has exposed glacial lake sediments more than 70 m deep within a rock basin about 25 km long and 1 km wide.
Glaciodeltaic sedimentation patterns are influenced by a number of factors including seasonal and aperiodic climatic fluctuations, glacier dynamics, fluctuations in lake level, proximity of the ice-front to the delta-front, lake bottom topography, stability of the feeder system, feeder system/lake basin depth ratio, post-depositional slumping, suspended sediment concentration, grain-size, and the nature of lake water stratification nemec, 1990, postma, 1990a, postma, 1990b.
This paper identifies the sedimentary record of storms and bottom-scouring ice masses that is preserved in upper pleistocene glaciolacustrine delta sediments. Deltaic sedimentation occurred on the margin of an enlarged, ice-dammed ancestral lake ontario with a surface elevation at least 80 m above the modern level.
Kettles a kame delta is a flat-topped, steep-sided hill of well-sorted sand and gravel.
Sediment characteristics are a function of the water source (glacial meltwater versus non-meltwater), proximity to the glacier margin and lake shore, amount of supraglacial debris, and lake duration.
In the study area, the great terrace is composed of highly deformed ice-contact deltaic and glaciolacustrine sediment overlain by a cap of outwash gravel. Sediments of the great terrace were deposited along and over stagnating ice in the okanogan valley, predominantly as deltas built by streams issuing from tributary coulees.

The oak ridges moraine is a geological landform that runs east-west across south central ontario, canada. It developed about 12,000 years ago, during the wisconsin glaciation in north america. A complex ridge of sedimentary material, the moraine is known to have partially developed under water. The niagara escarpment played a key role in forming the moraine in that it acted as a dam for glacial meltwater trapped between it and two ice lobes.

Aug 18, 2020 deltas are masses of sediment that build out into lakes at the point relict lake delta (formed when a glacial lake higher than at present).

Many of the lakes in areas of glacial deposition are water-filled kettles and so are many gravel and sand pits are located in deltas of former glacial lakes.
