Quaternary unconsolidated sediment thickness on the Grand Banks of Newfoundland and northeast Newfoundland Shelf; a GIS database / [by] E.L. King. : M183-2/7513E-PDF
Glaciations across the Grand Banks and the Northeast Newfoundland Shelf left a varied cover of unconsolidated sediments overlying bedrock. These comprise glacial sediments and their shallow water wave and current reworked and sorted products. A database of 85000 spot sediment thickness postings and contoured map draws on new and existing interpretations from seismic reflection profiles. Most postings depict total thickness but also including eight sub-classes of sediment types (e.g. till, glacial mud, sand and gravel). While primarily a GIS product, it also includes a map in Adobe format. It is part of the upgrading and accessibility of geo-knowledge of Canada's offshore towards better resource and geohazard assessment. It complements surficial and bedrock geology maps of the area.
