, southeast Yukon Territory and southwest District of Mackenzie
. His work has led to syntheses of the geological evolution of the northern Cordillera.
Gabrielse published several papers with Stewart Blusson
in the late 1960s.
He was a contributor to Lithoprobe

Tuya Volcanic Field
The Tuya volcanic field is a volcanic field of tuyas located in far northern British Columbia, Canada, near the border with the Yukon Territory and focussed on the area of the Tuya Range, a subrange of the Stikine Ranges of the Cassiar Mountains, though some vents are in the Kawdy Plateau, the...
