| Abstract | This new surficial geology map product represents the conversion of the parts of Open File 541 covering Amund Ringnes Island (Edlund and Hodgson, 1978) and its legend, using the Geological Survey of
Canada's Surficial Data Model (SDM version 2.3.14) (Deblonde et al., 2018). All geoscience knowledge and information from Open File 541 that conformed to the current SDM were maintained during the conversion process. The purpose of converting legacy
map data to a common science language and common legend is to enable and facilitate the efficient digital compilation, interpretation, management, and dissemination of geological map information in a structured and consistent manner. This provides an
effective knowledge-management tool designed around a geodatabase which can expand following the type of information to appear on new surficial geology maps. |
| Summary | (Plain Language Summary, not published)
The map identifies surficial materials and associated landforms left by the retreat of the last glaciers. The surficial geology is based on aerial
photograph interpretation and fieldwork. This work provides new geological knowledge and improves our understanding of the distribution, nature and glacial history of surficial materials. It contributes to resource assessments and effective land use
management. |
