Geology of the Clyde-Cockburn land map area, north-central Baffin Island, Nunavut / by G. D. Jackson. : M46-440E
The Clyde-Cockburn Land map area covers 82 000 km2 of north-central Baffin Island. The settlement of Clyde River lies near in the largest of three large Mesozoic-Cenzoic fault blocks which make up Baffin Island. The three blocks are each uplifted toward the northeast, their surfaces being remnants of a dissected peneplain. Physiography ranges from the rugged beauty of the eastern fiords and mountains to monotonous coastal lowlands. Quaternary glacial events have been traced from about two million years ago to the little Ice Age 450-100 years ago.--Summary
