Surficial geology, Chidliak Bay, Baffin Island, Nunavut, NTS 26-B / [authors, T. Tremblay, J. Leblanc-Dumas, M. Allard].: M183-1/222-2015E-PDF
"This surficial map is based on aerial photographs and satellite images interpretations, as well as on field work observations. The plateau forms a heteregenous map pattern, with patches of cold-based sediments (regolith, and regolith mixed with till) cross-cut by till deposited during glacial readvances, and glacial lakes sediments. The regolith is a pre-glacial or interglacial landscape feature. The northeastern rugged land was eroded by warm-based glaciers flowing toward the northeast, and is dominantly covered by till and bedrock outcrops. The eastern coast was dissected by valley and fiord glaciers. The Frobisher Bay moraine was formed from 9 to 8 14C ka, and the deglaciation of Chidliak Bay is dated at 8.6 14C ka. Proglacial lakes were dammed by important moraines. The observed marine limits range from 60 m asl to 85 m asl"--Abstract.
