DATA SOURCES USED IN GEOLOGICAL COMPILATION


This list contains all published and unpublished, data used in the compilation of the geology of Vancouver Island. Numerous assessment reports were also consulted providing data supporting or enhancing the listed sources. Aeromagnetic maps at 1:50 000 scale are available for the whole project area and were utilized, though they are not included in the listing.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The author would like to acknowledge the important contributions of Pat Desjardins and Eric Grunsky in digitizing, editing and re-editing maps during the lifetime of the project. The expert estimators were crucial and fundamental to the success of phase 2 and their contribution cannot be adequately acknowledged. Gregg Stewart and Graeme McLaren made invaluable contributions to the analysis of land use decisions.
