Survey Description
During the summer of 2012, a reconnaissance regional-scale sampling program was conducted in western Labrador.
In total, 154 samples of esker material (medium to coarse sand and gravel) were collected from hand-dug pits 60-100 cm deep. The samples were sieved on site to < 4 mm.
The data are published in Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Natural Resources Open File LAB/1620.
