Seabed mapping surveys, SW Makkovik Bank, Harrison Bank, NRCAN expedition report 2008028 / G.V. Sonnichsen and M. Lamplugh.: M183-2/5931E-PDF

Data collected during Matthew 2008028 will help assess seabed impediments to safe and cost-effective exploitation of offshore gas discoveries. The multibeam data provide accurate, high resolution imagery and depth information on seabed iceberg scours, and an understanding of the post-glacial morphology of the banks, margin and inshore bedrock exposures. Resulting data and knowledge allow GSC to provide sound advice to government, regulatory agencies and industry tasked with ensuring safe and sustainable development of Canada’s offshore regions. The survey was conducted under NRCAN’s national Geoscience for Ocean Management program (GOM) under the Geohazards and Constraints to Offshore Development (GCOD) project which focuses on regional geohazard assessment in active exploration regions or potential exploration regions. ...
