Surficial geology, Baker Lake, Nunavut, NTS 56-D .: M183-1/329-2017E-PDF
"This new surficial geology map product represents the conversion of Map 3-1985 and its legend, using the Geological Survey of Canada’s Surficial Data Model (SDM version 2.3) (Open File 8236). All geoscience knowledge and information from Map 3-1985 that conformed to the current SDM were maintained during the conversion process. Supplementary legacy information was added to complement the converted geoscience data. This consists of striations and field data from Wright (1967) and McMartin et al. (2017); these are identified in the accompanying geodatabase. The purpose of converting legacy map data to a common science language and common legend is to enable and facilitate the efficient digital compilation, interpretation, management, and dissemination of geological map information in a structured and consistent manner. This provides an effective knowledge management tool designed around a geodatabase that can expand, following the type of information to appear on new surficial geology maps"--Abstract.
