Coastal monitoring in Nunavut

Onshore research was conducted using the following methods: multi-temporal analysis and mapping of modern and raised coastal systems using airphotos, satellite imagery, LiDAR and RTK surveys. Data on the sediment composition of coastal landforms was collected using graded photographs. Shallow-water mapping of transgressive coastal systems was carried out using multibeam sonar and sub-bottom profiler primarily from the CCGS Amundsen and the CSL Heron during the 2006 ArcticNet NCE scientific cruise.

Purpose

Coastal data were collected in the summer of 2006 and 2007 for two main purposes; 1) to characterize the morphology and sedimentology of raised-beach sequences on Lowther Island, and 2) to monitor and characterize the morphology, evolution and processes of modern coasts across a longitudinal gradient in Nunavut.
