(2018) Submarine Mass Failure Cores from Frobisher Bay (Nunavut) aboard CCGS Amundsen. Waterloo, Canada: Canadian Cryospheric Information Network (CCIN). Unpublished Data This data is currently in relation to twelve piston cores collected aboard CCGS Amundsen, one on cruise 2014805, two on cruise 2015805, six on cruise 2016804, and three on cruise 2017805. Information about these cores (Location, length, grain size, radiocarbon dates, etc.) can be found by searching the NRCan Expedition Database. These cores were collected to both date submarine mass failure events and to better understand the stratigraphic context in which they occurred. This information will be part of a larger project on submarine mass failures, trying to better understand their seabed contexts and triggering mechanisms in Baffin Island fjords.

These events are capable of destroying seabed infrastructure and generating tsunami waves which could inundate coastal communities. They also leave a distinct scar on the seabed that can be seen using sonar. To better understand these events, sediment cores are taken from these scars. These sediment records can be used to examine the sediments underlying the failure as well as date when the failure occurred. Using cores from multiple events a timeline of events and potential triggering mechanisms can be inferred. Research Program(s): ArcticNet.
