Field Activity H310AR

Identifier H310AR
Alternate names 2010-018-FA
Purpose Two-icebreaker US-Canada experiment to identify the outer limits of the extended continental shelf of each nation in the western Arctic Ocean
Location Western Arctic Ocean
Summary Collected 12 kHz Bathymetry (Simrad EM122) to identify the 2500 meter contour on widely spaced tracklines. Multichannel seismic profiles were collected aboard the Louis St Laurent to map sediment thicknesses.
