CE16010 (NISS) The Newfoundland Ice Sheet Glaciated Shelf Survey

Newfoundland Ice Sheet Glaciated Shelf Survey led by Ulster University in April 2016 on board the Marine Institute's R.V. Celtic Explorer. The overall scientific aim of this application is to develop a better understanding of the formerly glaciated continental shelf around Newfoundland. This survey is going to take place in collaboration and alongside the fisheries survey of Memorial University. Specific objectives are: (1) acquisition of multibeam and seismic data whenever possible throughout the fisheries survey; (2) coring of submerged glacial landforms, either previously mapped or newly discovered.
