Report of 2017 field activities for the GEM-2 Rae glacial history activity in the Kivalliq region, Nunavut / I. McMartin, T. Tremblay, and P.-M. Godbout.: M183-2/8320E-PDF
“This publication summarizes the 2017 field work completed in the Baker Lake and Arviat areas, mainland Nunavut, as part of the GEM‐2 Rae Synthesis of Glacial History and Dynamics Activity in the interior of the Keewatin Sector of the Laurentide Ice Sheet. Field work consisted of targeted mapping of glacial flow indicators to resolve the relative ice‐flow chronology at both ends of the Keewatin Ice Divide, sampling material for age dating to help reconstruct the glacial and post‐glacial histories at a regional scale, and documenting the nature and composition of the glacial sediments under the ice divide and in selected ice stream terrains. This work will provide new geological knowledge on the chronology of ice flow events and help understand glacial transport characteristics across major glacial landscapes in the Kivalliq Region. The findings will support informed decision making for mineral resource exploration and land use management”--Project summary, p. 1.
