This thesis presents the results of a reconnaissance seismic program carried out by the Geophysics Division of the Geological Survey of Canada during the months April to August, 1960, in the Queen Elizabeth Islands, N. W. T. The seismic investigations were a part of a continuing, comprehensive, Arctic research program directed by the Polar Continental Shelf Project (P.C.S.P.). The P.C.S.P. was created by a Federal Cabinet directive in 1959 and is a division of the Department of Mines and Technical Surveys. The seismic operations in the summer of 1960 were of a preliminary and reconnaissance nature designed to measure the thickness of the sedimentary section in as many localities as possible and to lay the foundations for detailed investigations in following years.
