Geochemical Assessment Report Data Extracted database (GARDEd) includes geochemical data from assessment reports (ARs), describing over 350,000 surficial samples. Data are mostly from assessment reports in the Dawson Range submitted since 2005.
Samples described in the database belong to one of four categories: rock, soil, stream sediments (referred to in GARDEd as silt), and vegetation. The initial release contains approximately 10% of the geochemical data in Yukon ARs.
The Government of Yukon acknowledges that Indigenous Peoples have traditional territories throughout the Yukon and celebrates their role as stewards of the lands and waters and their ongoing connection to this place.
