Predictive surficial geology derived from LANDSAT 7, Marian River, NTS 85-N, Northwest Territories / [by] M. Ednie ... [et al.].: M183-2/7543E-PDF

Surficial geology maps provide important geoscience information for geological reconstructions, mineral exploration and development, and land use planning. In this study, remote predictive mapping was used to derive a predictive surficial geology map for Marian River NTS 85N, which straddles the Slave, the Bear-Slave and the Interior Platform geological provinces. The predictive map was generated using radiometrically balanced LANDSAT 7 imagery (collected in 2001) and knowledge from airphoto interpretations, fire history, elevation models, field observations and legacy datasets. This Open File contains graphical and digital geo-referenced versions of the predictive maps. A printable version of the predictive surficial geology map is provided in pdf format (map scale 1:125 000).
