Abstract
Two rapidly measured parameters, colour spectra and whole-core magnetic susceptibility, can provide important data regarding sediment provenance. These parameters can be measured prior to a sediment core being sampled and at closely spaced intervals. When combined with reliable age control, these data can be useful in making environmental interpretations. Within the region of Hudson Strait, the primary controls on these two parameters are particles derived from the Dubawnt Group "red stained" rhyolite from the western portion of the basin and the Paleozoic limestone rocks that underlie most of the basin.
