This text illustrates the range of environmental geoscience mapping presently carried out around the world. Specialists in several countries have contributed a number of subdisciplinary and thematic topics including volcanic hazards, landslides, dolines, tsunamis, radon potential, medical geology, rainfall erosion, engineering geology, borehole stratigraphy, lake sediment geochemistry, aggregate resources and remote sensing. The collection, analysis and interpretation of data by geologists, geographers and engineers typically involves the presentation of information in map form, which can range from black/white to colour, 2-D to 3-D and paper copy to digital format illustrations. This volume reaffirms the global need for mapping geoscientific data.

This volume describes the use of till geochemical and indicator mineral methods for mineral exploration in the glaciated terrain of Canada. The principles and examples described in this volume will have direct applications for exploration companies looking for diamonds, precious and base metals and uranium in glaciated parts of North America, northern Europe and Asia and mountainous regions of South America.

The Pinchi Lake regional lake sediment and water geochemistry survey described in this report covers an area of perceived high mineral potential in a region where exploration has previously been limited by extensive drift cover, poor exposures, and an insufficient geological database. Survey investigators collected lake sediments and waters from 413 sites in the study area and analyzed for 15 elements by atomic absorption spectroscopy and for a further 25 elements by instrumental neutron activation analysis. This report describes the survey areas (location, access, physiography, surficial and bedrock geology, mineral deposits), survey methodology, and quality control procedures, and presents a preliminary interpretation of the data obtained, notably for gold. New areas for prospective porphyry-style gold/copper and molybdenum deposits are outlined, and recommendations are provided for gold exploration in the study area. Appendices contain analytical data.

Compiles reports generated from the Interior Plateau Project, whose objectives were to improve understanding of the geology and mineral deposits of one of the most promising yet least explored areas of British Columbia. Topics of papers include: geology of specific areas of the Interior Plateau region; physical and chemical volcanology; till geochemistry; drift prospecting; lake sediment geochemistry; biogeochemical surveys; electromagnetic mapping; aeromagnetic surveying; and metallic mineralization and mineral deposits.
