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).
