Quaternary Geology of Central Melville Island, Northwest Territories
Author: D. A. HodgsonPublisher: Geological Survey of Canada
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 36
Book Description
This report completes a project designed to study the Quaternarygeology of central Melville Island including Dundas Peninsula. It contains descriptions of surficial materials together with anoutline of the Quaternary history with particular emphasis onlate Quaternary glacial and marine events. Dundas Peninsula isof particular interest since continental ice sheets reached theirmaximum limits in this area on several occasions. A particularlyimportant reason for examining south-central Melville Island isthe projected routing (at the time of writing) of one or morenatural gas transportation systems through it. Nonetheless, thisstudy is not designed to provide geotechnical information for anyone project, but rather to provide information relevant toengineering, land management, or environmental impact studies, aswell as regional Quaternary studies.

Quaternary Geology, of Northern Melville Peninsula, District of Franklin; Northwest Territories

ISBN:
Category : Geology
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
This report presents the first comprehensive summaries of Quaternary geology and landscape evolution for the Melville Peninsula, glaciated by the Wisconsin Laurentide Ice. After an introduction on the bedrock geology and physiography of the study area, sections of the report describe the area's surficial materials and landforms, including till, glaciofluvial and glaciolacustrine deposits and landforms, marine deposits and landforms; dispersal trains and ice dynamics; glaciation and ice flow in the study area; deglaciation of the various parts of the peninsula; glacial and postglacial sea-level changes, and their interpretation; the regional context of glaciation and sea-level change; the economic and environmental geology of Quaternary materials such as permafrost and patterned ground forms; postglacial faulting and neotectonics; and till geochemistry, with reference to drift prospecting models.

Quaternary Geology of the Tuktoyaktuk Coastlands, Northwest Territories
Author: V. N. RamptonPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
The Quaternary geology of the Tuktoyaktuk Coastlands was initially investigated in the 1960s because of active exploration for oil and gas. Continuing exploration in the Beaufort Sea region resulted in the need for support and transportation facilities throughout the Tuktoyaktuk coastlands and emphasized the importance of the surficial geology studies. This report synthesizes the observations made during the last 2 decades. It establishes the sequence and age of Quaternary deposits and landforms; the distribution of permafrost and ground ice relative to the various Quaternary landforms and stratigraphic sequences; and the effect of modern, especially periglacial, process upon the landscape.
