Survey Description
During the summers of 1989 (NTS 35G, J), 1990 (NTS 25E, 35H, I) and 1991 (NTS 35F, K), till samples were collected on the northern Ungava Peninsula, Quebec. A total of 267 samples were collected, resulting in an average density of about one sample per 200 km2. Samples were collected at an average depth of about 30 cm in mudboils. More detailed sampling (n=42) was carried out three areas.
The work was carried out for R.-A. Daigneault’s Ph.D. thesis and is also published in Geological Survey of Canada Bulletin 533.
