Preliminary investigation of surficial geology in northern Kluane Range has resulted in new interpretations of Pleistocene ice cover. The paper describes two glacial limits and the distribution of surficial materials in the upper Quill, Maple, and Wade creek drainages. The dataset is provided by the Government of Yukon and was last updated on April 17, 2026.
Use Cases
- Interpret Pleistocene ice cover extent based on descriptions of unglaciated terrain and glacial limits.
- Plan surficial geochemistry sampling programs based on the described source and transport mechanism of surface materials.
- Assess implications for mineral exploration based on the distribution of surficial materials in specific creek drainages.
Strengths
- Describes two distinct glacial limits for the area.
- Focuses on specific creek drainages (Quill, Maple, Wade).
- Provides implications for mineral exploration programs.
Limitations
- Row count and column definitions are unknown.
- Data format is HTML/PDF, which may require extraction for analysis.
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
