| Summary | (Plain Language Summary, not published)
This Report of Activities presents the scientific rationale behind the Smoking Hills research project. It discusses the types of field investigations
undertaken by three sub-projects, and sample collections. Studies include Cretaceous stratigraphy and paleoenvironmental analysis, bocannes (burning shale) and related minerals and hydrochemistry, and Tertiary fluvial deposits and Quaternary glacial
history related to diamond indicator mineral dispersal. |
