Presents an examination of field relationships along the northern margin of Baker Lake Basin, Nunavut, with the goal of establishing the stratigraphy of the Dubawnt Supergroup in relation to paleogeography, depositional setting, and provenance. Includes information on the regional geology, local geology (Christopher Island Formation sedimentary & volcanic rocks, the newly named Amarook Formation, and the overlying Pitz and Thelon formations), and discusses faulting during the development of the Baker Lake Basin.

This report is part of an ongoing study to characterize both sequence stratigraphy and chronostratigraphy of the Baker Lake Basin, Nunavut. The investigators examined well-exposed segments of the basin in detail, emphasizing sequence stratigraphic analysis to identify genetic packages of strata related to tectonically controlled basin-filling rhythms. Three sections exposed at the western edge of Thirty Mile Lake have been measured and correlated, yielding data on five depositional sequences. After an introduction on the geologic setting of the study area, the report provides facies assemblage descriptions and interpretations of the five depositional sequences of the lower Baker Lake Group. Finally, the accommodation (or space made available for a sedimentary system to fill) cycle in the basin is discussed and conclusions are drawn regarding the subsidence mechanism in the basin.

The QSP area represents a well-preserved segment of felsic volcanic stratigraphy within the Hope Bay volcanic belt in western Nunavut. This paper reports the result of a detailed mapping program carried out over the QSP area to outline volcanic stratigraphy and associated geochemistry & hydrothermal alteration. It includes information on the regional geology, the geology of the volcanic belt, the history of mineral exploration in the area, the volcanic & intrusive rocks in the QSP area and their alteration, and (briefly) structural geology.

The final year of the Nechako NATMAP project to study the geology of central British Columbia was used to research information collected in the field & laboratory, and to compile & document the study results. This article includes a review of upcoming publications & other products, by type of product: maps, journal articles, conference presentations, and computer products, as well as ongoing research on petrology, palaeontology, terrane characterization, tectonics & structure, and Quaternary geology.
