Geomorphology interpretation of the Newfoundland and Labrador shelves bioregion / J. Shaw, V.E. Kostylev, and M.Z. Li.: M183-2/9205E-PDF
"The Newfoundland and Labrador Shelves Bioregion, located on a glaciated continental shelf and adjacent continental slope, is classified into thirteen geomorphic classes that reflect its great physiographic diversity. The ten shelf units comprise a bedrock dominant zone, fjord systems, a large inland sea, shelf-crossing troughs, four types of offshore banks, a basin, and glaciotectonic terrain (found nowhere else on Canadian shelves). The three continental slope units are channelized areas, trough-mouth areas, and large sedimentary drifts. A series of vignettes based on interpretation of single beam and multibeam sonar data illustrates both the distinguishing characteristics of the principal geomorphic units as well as the morphologic diversity within them"--Abstract.
