421 stratigraphic section locations across Yukon compiled from 51 published and unpublished surficial geology maps. The dataset includes attribute data for 1198 section layers with unit depths, thicknesses, material classification, and descriptive notes. It was produced by the Geological Survey of Canada and Yukon Geological Survey.
Use Cases
- Model subsurface geology based on unit depths and thicknesses.
- Classify surficial materials based on the material classification attribute.
- Analyze sediment characteristics based on descriptive notes for texture, structure, and sorting.
- Map geological features across Yukon based on the 421 georeferenced locations.
Strengths
