Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Much of the Walker Lake South map area is covered by streamlined till plains with shallow, glacially-eroded basins; however the southeast is dominated by a bedrock highland. Striae and streamlined landforms in till indicate initial north-northeast then persistent northwestward ice flow during the last glaciation, although late-glacial flow reversals occurred to the south and east down glacial troughs in the bedrock highland. Weathered bedrock and regotill indicate areas of cold-based ice conditions and combined with the hummocky till, delineate the presence of late-ice remnants in highlands. Large subglacial corridors, containing eskers and other ice-contact deposits, carried meltwater northward into the Arctic Ocean. South of the regional drainage divide, short-lived glacial lakes, marked by wave-cut notches and boulder lags on the till surface, developed as the ice front receded southwards into the upland south of the Ford Lake-Wager Bay lowlands. The marine limit ranges from 100-110 m a.s.l. in this area"--Page [2].

Book excerpt: Observations & interpretations during mapping of the Walker Lake area, central Nunavut, allowed for the identification of three landforms requiring further investigation: eskers, transverse ridges, and irregular mounds. This paper describes & interprets each of these features, then develops a hypothesis that links their origin with the area's glacial history.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After an overview of the regional geological setting, this paper describes the geology of the three contrasting domains of the Committee Bay belt in central Nunavut. The first & largest section covers the central domain, which comprises four narrow supracrustal belts intruded by lenticular plutonic bodies. The remaining sections describe the northern crustal domain, dominated by metasedimentary rocks & granitoid plutons, and the south-east domain, dominated by granodiorite to granite batholiths that intrude rocks of the central domain.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents an overview of the field research conducted during the 2001 season, along with preliminary field observations, from the second year of the Committee Bay Project's Quaternary studies. The objectives of these studies are to compile high-resolution terrain inventories for the Laughland Lake, Walker Lake, Arrowsmith River, and Ellice Hills map areas of central Nunavut; to begin a reconnaissance-scale drift prospecting program that utilizes both heavy-mineral & till geochemical analyses; and to interpret the glacial history at local & regional scales. After introductory sections on regional geology, previous research, and sampling & survey methods, the paper summarizes preliminary results from field observations regarding generalized ice movements & glacial landforms.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report briefly describes the nature, extent, and age of marine deposits near the head of Wager Bay on the west side of Hudson Bay, Nunavut. The main focus is on determination of the marine limit, or the highest elevation reached by the post-glacial sea. The elevation of the marine limit yields information about the extent of inundation by post-glacial seas, the amount of post-glacial crustal deformation, and the elevation below which the geochemical composition of glacial deposits may have been altered by marine processes or by mixing of glacial materials with marine sediments. Marine limit positions were determined by recording the elevations of: raised deltas that indicate where meltwater streams & overflow channels from glacial lakes fed in to high-level water bodies; ice-contact deltas; and trimlines where the uppermost limit of wave erosion of glacial deposits is prominent.
