Biophysical overview of the Laurentian Channel area of interest (AOI) .: Fs70-6/2010-076E-PDF
The Laurentian Channel AOI varies in depth from 100 to 500 m, with the basin of the Laurentian Channel being the deepest. Adjacent banks in the study area south of Newfoundland vary from 100 to 200 m in depth. Surficial and shallow geology attributes may be sufficient for broad-scale generalizations related to habitat associations of species of interest that interact with the bottom. In general, mud and clay characterize deeper areas, while sand and gravel occur mainly on the banks. Bedrock geology has strong potential for hydrocarbon discoveries.
