The continental margin of eastern Canada extends from Georges Bank at 41 degrees North to Nares Strait at 80 degrees North, almost half the distance from the Pole the equator. It is a classical example of a passive or 'Atlantic" type of continental margin with a geological history reflecting at least two 'Wilson Cycles". The first gave birth to the Iapetus Ocean, and the second to the modern Atlantic and its neighbors. The margin ties the glacial history of the Canadian landmass to the adjacent ocean basins, and so to the world's oceans. Two of the basins offshore eastern Canada, the Jeanne d'Arc Basin off Newfoundland and the Scotian Basin off Nova Scotia, contain substantial resources of oil and gas. An understanding of the geology of the margin bears directly on the evolution of the whole of the North Atlantic and the Arctic, and on the generation of hydrocarbons.
