An index has been compiled of more than 200 surficial geology surveys that have been conducted on the Scotian Shelf. The co-ordinates for about 7,000 sample stations and 70,000 line kilometres of shallow seismic profiles have been plotted on four separate basemaps for the Scotian Shelf. Sources for the compilation include the Government of Canada, the oil and gas industry, various universities, and foreign agencies. Only 36 of the surveys are not in the public domain.

Map 4015-G accompanies this report, the easternmost and sixth in a series describing the surficial geology of the south-eastern Canadian continental shelf. These regional geological studies have been conducted on a systematic basis. Canadian Hydrographic Charts 4015 (Sydney to St. Pierre), 40141 (Banquereau and Misaine Bank), 4016 (St. Pierre to St. John's), and 8009 (St. Pierre bank to Whale Bank), were used as bethymetric base maps on the compilation of the surficial geology. The map covers 120,046 km2, and is presented at a scale of 1:350,000. The surficial geology is based on an interpretation of data collected on seven cruises conducted by the Atlantic Geoscience Centre at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography. The report also includes brief descriptions of the physiography, bedrock geology, and physical oceanography.
