Abstract
A number of methods based on stratigraphic position or till properties have been used to correlate till units, such as: (1) texture; (2) composition - lithological, mineralogical, or geochemical; (3) fabric; (4) colour; (5) weathering characteristics; (6) geophysical response;and (7) geotechnical characteristics. Some methods are widely used while others have been applied in only a few areas, but within a particular area tbe correlations are generally based on the complementary use of two or more of these methods. The purpose of this paper is primarily to demonstrate some of these methods utilizing examples from the authors, research in Manitoba, Ontario and Alberta .and, secondarily, to comment briefly on the methods used by some other researchers.
