Geology of the Scotian Margin - Magnetic anomaly maps
A new compilation of magnetic anomaly data has been prepared through rigorous re-processing and re-levelling of all existing marine trackline data and aeromagnetic surveys for Atlantic Canada. This compilation has been gridded at 500 m intervals to prepare new maps showing the Atlantic region (1:3000000 scale) and 3 sub-areas at 1:1500000 scale. These maps were released in March 2004 as GSC Open Files 1813 (Atlantic region), 1814 (Scotian Margin), 1815 (Gulf of St. Lawrence) and 1816 (Grand Banks of Newfoundland).

The areas covered by the map sheets are shown here.
