Abstract

Geological Survey of Canada Bulletin 610 summarizes some significant research results and future
directions from twelve years of field-based research in the northern Cordillera. The Bulletin presents five
distinct, stand-alone, thematic sections: ‘Oceanic terranes’; ‘Pericratonic Yukon-Tanana terrane’; ‘Cordilleran magmatism’; ‘Overlap assemblages’; and ‘Geophysical characteristics’. These papers are not intended to provide an exhaustive summary of all research that was carried out over the course of GEM; however, these themes, along with individual activity results, provide a good starting point for evaluating future research directions in the northern Cordillera.

Résumé

Le Bulletin 610 de la Commission géologique du Canada résume d’importants résultats de recherche
et des orientations futures tirés de douze ans de recherche sur le terrain dans la Cordillère septentrionale.
Le bulletin présente cinq sections thématiques distinctes et autonomes : «Terranes océaniques», «Terrane péricratonique de Yukon-Tanana», «Magmatisme de la Cordillère», «Assemblages de recouvrement»
et «Caractéristiques géophysiques». Ces articles ne visent pas à résumer de façon exhaustive l’ensemble des travaux de recherche réalisés dans le cadre du programme GEM. Toutefois, ces thèmes, ainsi que les résultats des activités individuelles, constituent un bon point de départ pour évaluer les orientations futures en matière de recherche dans la Cordillère septentrionale.
