Objective(s): To test the Coast Guard ARKTOS amphibious vehicle as a coastal geophysical survey platform for collecting data on coastal sediment transport and erosion rates; to conduct an ice scour repetitive mapping survey of the Beaufort seafloor to detect new ice scour events that have occurred during the winter and spring of 1989/90;
Project Description: The amphibious vehicle will be mounted with an echosounder, sidescan sonar, subbottom and seismic profiling equipment to run a test survey along the coast of the Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula. The CCGS NAHIDIK will tow a sidescan sonar system over the seafloor to rerun track lines surveyed in previous years to allow for the detection and measurement of the characteristics of new scours on the seafloor of the central Beaufort shelf.
