A new feature introduced in this edition is a section containing four essays: The HUDSON 70 Expedition by C.R. Mann Earth Sciences Studies in Arctic Marine Waters, 1970 by B.R. Pelletier Analysis of Marine Ecosystems by K.H. Mann Operation Oil by C.S. Mason and Wm. L. Ford They serve as an overview of the focal interests of the past two years in contrast to the body of the Review, which is basically a series of individual progress reports. The search for petroleum on the continental shelves of Eastern Canada and Arctic intensified considerably with several drilling rigs and many geophysical exploration teams in the field. To provide a regional depository for the mandatory core samples required from all drilling, the first stage of a core storage and archival laboratory was completed in 1970. This new addition to the Institute is operated by the Resource Administration Division of the Department of Energy, Mines & Resources. In a related move the Geological Survey of Canada undertook to establish at the Institute a new team whose primary function will be the stratigraphic mapping of the continental shelf.
