Ancient Pacific Margin Part I: BCGS Contributions and Collaborative Activities with GSC and Yukon Geology Program

The Ancient Pacific Margin NATMAP project (Thompson et al., 2000) is a collaboration between the British Columbia Geological Survey Branch, the Geological Survey of Canada and the Yukon Geoscience Office. It aims to advance understanding of the Cordillera-long belt of complexly deformed pericratonic rocks that made up the Pacific margin of North America in Paleozoic to early Mesozoic time (Figure 1). This is the first operational year of the joint project.
