Objectif(s): To measure rates of coastal retreat; to survey beach morphological changes; to monitor bathymetric variations in the nearshore zone; to map and characterize the physical properties of nearshore and onshore sediments.

Description du projet: The research will involve the survey of cliffs and beaches located along the shoreline of the Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula near Atkinson Point. This information will assist in determining if the shoreline has changed. Measurements will also be taken for water depth in the nearby lagoons and bays. Sediments will be collected from all sites visited for further laboratory analyses.
