Surficial geology, Foley Island, central Baffin Island, Nunavut, NTS 37-A.: M183-1/366-2018E-PDF

"This new surficial geology map product represents the conversion of GSC Map 2075A (Dredge, 2004) and its legend, using the Geological Survey of Canada's Surficial Data Model (SDM version 2.3.14) (Deblonde et al., 2018). All geoscience knowledge and information from Map 2075A that conformed to the current SDM were maintained during the conversion process. Unpublished field data (striations) from L.A. Dredge has also been added. 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.
