Objectif(s): To recover sediment cores from selected lakes; 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 Foxe Center.

Description du projet: The Research teams will continue to gather information to understand past glacial activity and sea level change in the eastern Canadian Arctic. They will take core samples from selected lakes and will record environmental change preserved in the lake sediments.
