This report completes a reconnaissance mapping program covering some 160 000square km of terrain mostly within the Precambrian Shield of north-centralManitoba. Field work, begun in 1971 and completed in 1973, was conducted bya three man, helicopter supported mapping party. It entailed ground andaerial observations in selected localities within various map unitsdelineated on the basis of airphoto interpretation.

The report and accompanying map describe and interpret the terrain conditions across 48,000 km2 of the coast and hinterland of Hudson Bay. The surface mapping of materials was combined with a study of river exposures in order to reconstruct the preglacial and glacial evolution of the landscape, and postglacial changes in permafrost, climate, and sea level. The geological interpretation was used to locate anomalously high concentrations of minerals of economic value, including gold and uranium, assess aggregate sources, identify areas of sensitive permafrost terrain, and to predict future environmental change.

The book presents an up-to-date, detailed overview of the Quaternary glaciations all over the world, not only with regard to stratigraphy but also with regard to major glacial landforms and the extent of the respective ice sheets. The locations of key sites are included. The information is presented in digital, uniformly prepared maps which can be used in a Geographical Information System (GIS) such as ArcView or ArcGIS. The accompanying text supplies the information on how the data were obtained (geomorphology, geological mapping, air photograph evaluation, satellite imagery), how the features were dated (14C, TL, relative stratigraphy) and how reliable they are supposed to be. All references to the underlying basic publications are included. Where controversial interpretations are possible e.g. in Siberia or Tibet, this is pointed out. As a result, the information on Quaternary glaciations worldwide will be much improved and supplied in a uniform digital format. The information on the glacial limits is compiled in digital form by the coordinators of the project, and is available for download at: http://booksite.elsevier.com/9780444534477/ Completely updated detailed coverage of worldwide Quaternary glaciations Information in digital, uniformly prepared maps which can be used in a GIS such as ArcView or ArcGis Step-by-step guideline how to open and use ArcGis files Possibility to convert the shapefiles into GoogleEarth kmz-files Availability of chronological controls

The landscape of Northwestern Manitoba is typical of much of the Canadianmidnorth. The area includes an extensive tract of muskeg in the south, which passes through boreal forest to tundra barrens. Some parts of theregion lie within the zone of continuous permafrost; others lie in thedescontinuous permafrost zole. Major lanscape elements were shaped inpre-Quaternary times, but most surface deposits and landforms are the resultof the last contental glaciaion and the subsequent inundation of glaciallakes and the sea. This report was written in response to a need for information on terrain conditions related to engineering construction, andon glacial transport patterns as they relate to drift prospecting and mineralexploration.
