Objectif(s): To measure water depths through the ice on a 2 kilometre grid; to obtain gravity readings on the ice on a 6 kilometre grid;

Description du projet: The Researcher and his team will carry out a survey which involves landing on the ice at 2 kilometre intervals for water depth measurement and every 6 kilometres for a gravity reading. The depth measurements will be used to show more data on navigation charts and the gravity readings will be added to the gravity data base.
