Survey Description


In July 2013, a pilot reconnaissance drainage study was carried out in the South Fiord area of western Axel Heiberg Island, Nunavut.  Samples were collected at 21 sites as outlined below:

 

Sample Type Number of Sites
Stream water 4
Stream sediment and water 7
Stream sediment and water; bulk sample for HMC 10

 

A summary of the work can be found in Geological Survey of Canada Open File 7718.  The data are published in Open File 7779.
