Les articles contenus dans le présent bulletin offrent un résumé complet et une mise à jour de nos connaissances de la géologie côtière et de l'évolution de l'île de
Baffin, du bras de mer Labrador-Baffin et des régions côtières environnantes. Cet article d'introduction résume et relie les événements géologiques et tectoniques qui ont contribué à l'évolution du craton et des bassins sédimentaires subséquents
s'échelonnant du Protérozoïque au Cénozoïque. Plus précisément, nous examinons la géologie du Précambrien et du Paléozoïque de l'île de Baffin et celle d'occurrences localisées de roches de ces âges dans le sous-sol du bras de mer Labrador-Baffin
adjacent; la stratigraphie du Mésozoïque-Cénozoïque ainsi que l'histoire du rift qui rend compte de l'ouverture et de l'évolution du bras de mer Labrador-Baffin; la sismicité de la région; ainsi que le potentiel en ressources minérales (île de
Baffin) et en hydrocarbures (à terre et en mer). |
| Summary | (Plain Language Summary, not published)
Knowledge of the bedrock geology and tectonic history of Canada's North, specifically modern map coverage of onshore Baffin Island and offshore
stratigraphy and structure of the Labrador-Baffin Seaway, has significantly improved since the commencement of the Geo-mapping for Energy and Minerals (GEM) Program in 2008. The Baffin Geological Synthesis provides a digital, publically available,
comprehensive document that summarizes the geological and tectonic understanding of Baffin Island and the Labrador-Baffin Seaway that has been developed through GEM and its collaborators over the last decade. The volume is divided into three sections
with a total of 14 papers: Part 1 - Precambrian and Paleozoic; Part 2 - Mesozoic to Present; and Part 3 - Land Use. |
