Description
Government of Yukon provides a geological thesis describing rock formations and weathering processes in the northwest quarter of the Whitehorse map area. The study analyzes Upper Triassic to Tertiary rock sequences, including the Lewes River and Laberge series, and investigates mineralogy, texture, and porosity of weathered granitic rocks. Specific row and column counts are unavailable for this document-based dataset.
Use Cases
Analyze the relationship between mineralogy, texture, and porosity features of granitic rocks and their observed weathering susceptibility.
Map the stratigraphic sequence and unconformities between Upper Triassic Lewes River series, Jurassic Laberge series, and Hutshi group volcanics.
Study the distribution and characteristics of Tertiary basalt flows exposed in the southern part of the Whitehorse area.
Investigate evidence for the connection between observed weathering features and the region's cool dry climate or past glaciation.
