Predictive surficial geological mapping of Hall Peninsula and Foxe Basin Plateau, Baffin Island using LANDSAT and DEM data; Geological Survey of Canada Open File 7038. doi:10.4095/291820 Online_Linkage: Description: Abstract: This Open File contains proto-type maps of surficial materials and a derivative surficial geology map of the Hall Peninsula in Southern Baffin Island, Nunavut. Also contained are the raw data used to produce the maps, a description on how and why these maps were produced, as well as a note on limitations and how these maps can be interpreted and used. The data are organized within an ArcGIS geodatabase and for ArcGIS users, a map document (.mxd), geodatabase (.gdb) and schema (.xml) files (Arc 10.0 and 9.3) are included to facilitate easy viewing and manipulation of the data. Printable pdf’s (1:500 000) of the final surficial geology and uncertainty maps are also included for non-GIS users. This work forms part of the Remote Predictive Mapping (RPM) project, within NRCAN’s Geo-mapping for Energy and Minerals program (GEM). Purpose: Supplemental_Information: Data set is in English.
