Project History

1983-1985 Southwestern New Brunswick till sampling survey carried out in 1983.
  A till (and other surficial sediments) sampling survey was carried out in southwestern New Brunswick in 1983 to quantify regional variations in drift composition to provide baseline data that might be used in assessing the effects of acid rain. The data are published in GSC Open File 1313 and GSC Current Research 85-1B.
