Central Kivalliq Glacial Dynamics - 2025 field data

This dataset compiles information and photographs collected at 49 observation stations during a field campaign conducted from July 31 to August 11, 2025, in the central part of the Kivalliq region. It includes the locations of sites where ice-flow indicators were measured, along with their relative chronology where it could be determined in the field.

It also includes the locations of till sampling sites collected for geochemical and indicator mineral analyses, as well as sites where boulders and bedrock surfaces were sampled for terrestrial cosmogenic isotope dating.

Analytical results and interpretations will be presented in subsequent publications.

Description: Title: Field data capture -- Description: Field data compiled using the GSC Field App tool, version 3.0.18. At each stop, a new station is created and the relevant information for that station is recorded in the application, for example: the sample and the glacial movement indicator.
