Quaternary geology investigations in the Coal River map sheet (NTS 95D) during the 2009 field season focused on characterizing surficial materials and their distributions. The Government of Yukon produced this dataset, which includes observations of moraine deposits, streamlined glacial landforms, and glaciolacustrine deposits.
Use Cases
- Map surficial material distributions based on field observations from the 2009 season
- Analyze glacial landform morphology based on descriptions of streamlined features and till plains
- Study glaciolacustrine and glaciofluvial deposits based on descriptions of meltwater contributions
- Characterize moraine thickness and colluviation based on descriptions of deposits in valley bottoms and uplands
Strengths
- Focuses on the eastern half of the map sheet which had not been previously mapped
- Describes specific geological features like moraine deposits thinner than 2 meters in valley bottoms
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
