Abstract
This thesis embodies the results of a detailed investigation of the sands and sand fractions of till sheets of Pleistocene age in the Edmonton map-area to ascertain if a correlation of these sands and till sheets is possible. Observed field data, mechanical analyses, histograms, graphs, heavy minerals and sphericity-roundness data are the methods of approach utilized in attempting this correlation and the various techniques employed in this investigation are described.The investigation reveals the presence of three distinct till sheets and two sets of interglacial breds. Histograms and sphericity data present a possible means of correlating the till sheets but no method of correlating the interglacial sands was effected by the methods of investigation utilized in this study.
