Submarine Mass Failure Cores from Frobisher Bay (Nunavut) aboard CCGS Amundsen

These cores were collected to both date submarine mass failure events and to better understand the stratigraphic context in which they occurred. This information will be part of a larger project on submarine mass failures, trying to better understand their seabed contexts and triggering mechanisms in Baffin Island fjords.

本次采集的岩芯（core），核心目标有二：一是测定海底大规模滑坡（submarine mass failure）事件的发生年代，二是厘清此类事件发生的地层背景（stratigraphic context）。相关资料将纳入一项针对海底大规模滑坡的大型研究项目，该项目旨在更深入地解析巴芬岛峡湾内海底滑坡的海底环境与触发机制（triggering mechanisms）。
