Glenlyon and Carmacks Bedrock Geology and Geochemistry Data

Data files assembled from the 2002 Targeted Geoscience Initiative project for the Glenlyon and Carmacks map areas in Yukon. The collection includes GIS spatial data, databases of field observations, publications, and illustrative photos. It is provided by the Government of Yukon and was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Conduct geological mapping based on GIS spatial data of bedrock and surficial geology.
• Analyze regional geochemistry patterns based on databases of field observations.
• Create thematic maps for exploration using georeferenced geophysical and satellite raster images.
• Study representative rock units and features using the photo gallery.
• Access historical geological reports from the Yukon Exploration and Geology series.

Strengths

• Includes multiple data types: GIS spatial data, databases, publications, and photos.
• Data is provided in formats compatible with widely available free software.
• Project is part of a targeted geoscience initiative (TGI) from 2002.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the specific Yukon map areas.
