Marine geology, geomorphology of the Kitimat Fiord system, British Columbia, parts of NTS 103-A, NTS 103-H, and NTS 103-I / [authors: J. Shaw and D. G. Lintern].: M183-1/275-1-2016E-PDF

"This map depicts the geomorphology of the Kitimat fiord system, British Columbia, and is based on bathymetry and backscatter data from multibeam sonar surveys, complemented by 3.5 kHz sub-bottom profiler data, grab samples, cores, and bottom photographs. The coverage extends from the head of Kitimat Arm to Hecate Strait, and includes Douglas Channel. The seafloor is divided into classes based on morphology and texture. The classes include glacial landforms that record the advance and retreat of grounded ice, and a wide range of submarine slope failures. The map also shows that postglacial sediment distribution on the fiord floors is highly variable: large areas are current-scoured, so that underlying glaciomarine sediments are exposed. More than a hundred submarine fans deltas are present within the fiords"--Abstract.
