Geomorphology of Northeast Baffin Fjords (2014-2016)

The multibeam bathymetry data is acquired with a multibeam sonar Kongsberg EM302. For complete acquisition and processing description, see the Polar data Catalogue Metadata CCIN 12586 and 12732.

Additionnal post-processing and data cleaning of the bathymetry was performed using the CARIS HIPS&SIPS 9.0 and BASE Editor 4.1.


Sub-bottom profiles showing seabed stratigraphy were acquired with a Knudsen 320-BR sub-bottom profiles, operated at a frequency of 3.5 kHz. The profiles were processed using the Natural Resources Canada software suite.


Ten (10) sediment cores from various locations are stored in the Laboratoire de Géoscience marine's (LGM) core archive. Each core was logged with a CT-scan. Further analysis will be performed in the next months/years.
