Objective(s): To determine the distribution, geometries and depositional slopes for subaqueous debris-flow deposits that are known to be widespread on the continental slope of western Baffin Bay;
Project Description: The Researchers will: map the geometry of debris-flow (mudflow) deposits; document bottom slopes and flow paths; relate debris-flow activity to Pleistocene history of the area and sea-bed cores and use this data to quantify the subaqueous (below water) debris-flow process.
