| Summary | (Plain Language Summary, not published)
In 2013, the Ontario Geological Survey (OGS) initiated a three-dimensional mapping project in the Niagara Peninsula to model regional-scale Quaternary
sediments which form both aquitards and aquifers. The Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) is collaborating with the OGS in the study area by conducting downhole geophysical logging in 15 PVC-cased sediment boreholes to better understand the in situ
physical and chemical properties of the sediments. A suite of natural gamma and induction (apparent conductivity and magnetic susceptibility) and velocity (Vp, Vs) logs was acquired to investigate lithological variation within the sediments. Logs
are interpreted alongside particle size analyses from the cores. High resolution fluid temperature logs were recorded to identify small temperature changes within the borehole fluids, and identify regional groundwater temperature variation. This
Open File report summarizes provides some preliminary log observations in the context of the regional hydrostratigraphic units. Figures of the log suites and digital log data are provided in appendices. |
