Quaternary unconsolidated sediment thickness on the Grand Banks of Newfoundland and northeast Newfoundland Shelf; a GIS database [electronic resource] / [by] E.L. King. Ottawa : Natural Resources Canada, 2014. [46] p. : figures, graphs, map, tables. Open file (Geological Survey of Canada) ; 7513 Includes bibliographical references. Glaciations across the Grand Banks and the Northeast Newfoundland Shelf left a varied cover of unconsolidated sediments overlying bedrock. These comprise glacial sediments and their shallow water wave and current reworked and sorted products. A database of 85000 spot sediment thickness postings and contoured map draws on new and existing interpretations from seismic reflection profiles. Most postings depict total thickness but also including eight sub-classes of sediment types (e.g. till, glacial mud, sand and gravel). While primarily a GIS product, it also includes a map in Adobe format. It is part of the upgrading and accessibility of geo-knowledge of Canada's offshore towards better resource and geohazard assessment. It complements surficial and bedrock geology maps of the area. gccst Ocean floor gccst Surficial geology gccst Geomorphology Canada. Natural Resources Canada, issuing body.
