Open file ; 8339 Includes bibliographical references. “In 2017 the GEM-2 activity Boothia Peninsula-Somerset Island Integrated Geoscience of the Northwest Passage accomplished 6-weeks of bedrock mapping supported by new high-resolution aeromagnetic data, with targeted Paleozoic stratigraphic and surficial studies across Boothia Peninsula. The area is an under-explored frontier region where knowledge stems from 1962 and 1986 mapping, without benefit of aeromagnetic constraints or modern U-Pb geochronology. New mapping and value-added datasets will significantly upgrade the outdated geoscience framework of this area, expand the impact of the mainland GEM-2 Rae Thelon Activity findings, and provide relevant data and knowledge to an isolated region of Nunavut that, due to global warming and the resulting increased shipping, will increasingly be exposed to issues related to resource assessment and economic development”--Provided by publisher.
