| Abstract | (Summary)
GSC scientists were part of an international team of researchers who visited bedrock outcrops on northernmost Ellesmere Island in the summer of 2017. The purpose of the expedition
was to document and sample the rocks of Pearya terrane and study the tectonic history of the terrane in order to better reconstruct the past stages of continental drift that formed the Arctic Ocean. |
