Seismic shot data can potentially assist cost/benefit analyses and planning of future seismic and pipeline development activities, by providing regional information on near-surface ground conditions, depths to shallow bedrock, identification of hazards (ground ice, flowing holes), and the location of potential aggregate resources (surface and buried gravel deposits). ... The Seismic Shothole Litholog Database and GIS is a compilation of 75 784 individual, augered shothole records collected during 1960s and 1970s geotechnical seismic operations, conducted along the Mackenzie corridor, NWT, and northern Yukon Territory. Compiled in a Microsoft Access« database, spatially heterogeneous shothole data (reflecting past...
The Dazo Creek map area (NTS 94I/SW) is situated in the generally flat, low-lying Fort Nelson Lowland physiographic region of northeastern British Columbia. The map area is dissected by the Fort Nelson, Sikanni Chief and Fontas rivers. It is blanketed by Boreal forest (white and black spruce, aspen, lodgepole pine) and underlain by soils with high fine silt and clay contents that result in extensive, poorly drained bogs and fens. The main economic activities in the map area are oil and gas extraction, with lesser amounts of forestry and trapping. The surficial geology of the Dazo Creek map area was interpreted from 1:60 000 scale black and white airphotos (British Columbia Integrated Land Management Bureau, 1986)....

The seismic shothole drillers' log database provides baseline, shallow (10-50 m) lithostratigraphic geoscience information on surficial and bedrock geology, hydrogeology, permafrost geology, and geohazards. The revised version 2 database is a greatly enlarged compilation of 275 871 individual, augered shothole drillers' log records collected from 1954 to present. Originally published as Open File 5465, and containing 76 000 records, the version 2 database has been bolstered by tremendous Industry support, wherein the archival holdings of 16 companies have been made available for inclusion. Compiled in a Microsoft Access (super R) database, the shothole data span the length and breadth of the Mackenzie corridor,...

ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
