Objectif(s): To gather evidence for the direction and timing of ice movement in Frobisher Bay and on the adjacent Baffin Shelf, with a focus on the interaction of a major outlet glacier fed by the Labrador Center with that of an outlet glacier in Frobisher Bay fed by the Foxe Center.

Description du projet: The Researcher and his team will conduct a study which relates to past glacial activity and sea level change in the eastern Canadian Arctic. The studies will concentrate on evidence for the direction and timing of ice movement in Frobisher Bay and on the adjacent Baffin Shelf.
