Abstract
Three weathering zones are delimited near Maktak and Narpaing Fiord, Baffin Island. Detailed sampling of weathering characteristics in Maktak Fiord and subsequent use of character analysis and discriminant analysis techniques supports the tri-zonal classification. The best combination of weathering characteristics for use in statistical delimination of weathering zones was tested by multiple stepwise discriminant analysis procedures. Weathering zones appear to have a regional distribution. The zones are stratigraphic units that can be used as a framework upon which a late Cenozoic history of the Cumberland Peninsula and perhaps eastern Baffin Island could be constructed.
