Survey Description
374 till samples were collected in the course of surficial mapping on Borden and Brodeur peninsulas and adjacent areas of northern Baffin Island in 1988-1991. Most till samples were collected from hand-dug pits, at a depth of 20-30 cm in the centres of patterned ground cells (i.e. sorted and non-sorted circles, nets, stripes etc.). Only those areas accessible to ground traversing were sampled. The interior of the study area was not well sampled. The data are published in Geological Survey of Canada Open File 3907.
