  1. The IPY 2007-08 Arctic Circumpolar Bedrock Geology Map project:

  2. Background July 2003: Proposal for an “Atlas of geological maps of the Circum-polar Arctic at 1:5,000,000 scale Contributing maps and lead nations to include bedrock geology (Canada); gravity and magnetics (Norway); metallogeny, tectonics (Russia) IGC Florence: Discussion by ministers of Natural Resources August 23, 2004: Proposal endorsed by the general assembly of the CGMW of the IUGS Project proposed by Russia for the 2007-08 IPY program June 2005: ADM of NRCan agrees that Canada will lead the bedrock map component of the Atlas; start of Canadian plans September 2005: Canada to contribute C$150 million to IPY

  3. Scale 1:5000,000 1.33 m (52.5”) 60o North Geographic area

  4. Paper mapvsQueriable map database The project must deliver a 1:5,000,000 scale paper copy bedrock geology map of the Arctic circumpolar region down to 60 degrees North. The map area includes most of Alaska and Canada’s three territories, some of northern Quebec, most of Greenland and Scandinavia north of Denmark, all of northern Russia, the North Pacific, the North Atlantic, Iceland, and the entire Arctic Ocean. Canada also aims to deliver a queriable map database of the circumpolar region that allows users to generate maps customized to specific user-defined needs

  5. Presentations - Canada

  6. Presentations - Canada

  7. Timetable October 2005: GSC meetings with Canadian contributors to ensure that proposed legend structure is suitable for shield, basin and Cordilleran environments. Approach: "compilation of compilations" February 2006: Workshop with international participants in Calgary to discuss and improve legend. March 31, 2006: deadline for Canadian IPY project funding applications May 2006: Present early results at GAC Montreal Special session: “The next Geology Map of Canada” Spring 2006: First draft of map and queriable database using existing digital map files (ie. digital Canada, 1:5000k; Russia, 1:2500k; Fennoscandia, 1:2000k; North Atlantic, 1:4000k; Greenland, 1:2500k; Alaska; Arctic basin) Spring 2007: Second draft of map and queriable database (using latest national compilation map files) Fall 2007: Delivery of final map products to printers (for 2008 Oslo IGC)

  8. Canada’s IPY commitment is an excellent opportunity to kick-start a Canadian map database!!
