Yukon GEOPROCESS File: Geological Processes and Hazards, 1992-1995

A compilation of information on geological processes and terrain hazards in the Yukon Territory. The data was collected and originally published between 1994 and 1996, based on work carried out in three phases from 1992 to 1995. Contractors performed the work under the supervision of the Environmental Geologist, Exploration and Geological Services Division, Yukon Region, Indian and Northern Affairs Canada.

Use Cases

• Map geological hazards for land-use planning based on terrain hazard information.
• Analyze geological processes for environmental impact studies based on compiled geological knowledge.
• Assess terrain stability for infrastructure development based on hazard data.
• Study regional geological patterns based on compiled information across the Yukon Territory.

Strengths

• Compilation of information and knowledge on geological processes and terrain hazards.
• Work supervised by the Environmental Geologist, Exploration and Geological Services Division, Yukon Region, Indian and Northern Affairs Canada.
• Original data collection spanned three phases from 1992 to 1995.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
