Geology of North America—An Overview
Summaries of the major features of the geology of North America and the adjacent oceanic regions are presented in 20 chapters. Topics covered include concise reviews of current thinking about Precambrian basement, Phanerozoic orogens, cratonic basins, passive-margin geology of the Atlantic and Gulf Coast regions, marine and terrestrial geology of the Caribbean region and economic geology.
Geology of the Innuitian Orogen and Arctic Platform of Canada and Greenland
Fourteen chapters discuss regional stratigraphy by time intervals from Precambrian to Quaternary, while other chapters describe the geography, geomorphology, tectonics, geophysical characteristics, and resources of the region. A summary chapter includes geologic maps, structural cross-sections, a geotectonic correlation chart, a gravity map, and a location map for exploration wells in the Arctic Islands and northern Greenland. A wealth of additional information is contained on the nine accompanying plates.
Circum-Arctic Structural Events
"To recognize the 25th anniversary of the Circum-Arctic Structural Events program, an effort organized by the Bundesanstalt für Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe, this volume presents results from 18 major field expeditions involving 100+ geoscientists from a spectrum of disciplines. The volume focuses on the Proterozoic to Cenozoic tectonic evolution of the circum-Arctic region with correlations to adjacent orogens"--

Geological Survey of Canada, Current Research (Online) no. 2004-A4
The area studied in this paper covers southern Cortes Island, Marina Island, and north-west Hernando Island in the Strait of Georgia, British Columbia. The paper first reviews the geological setting & physiography of the study area, then presents results of mapping Pleistocene (Wisconsinan) strata exposed in the area. The stratigraphic succession, having maximum thickness of 130 metres, is subdivided into six major units, all recording cyclical, climate-controlled, primarily marine deposition. Established names are used for two widespread formations (Cowichan Head and Quadra Sand) and local names are introduced for newly determined formations. Probable sources of the formation sediments are briefly discussed.
