Ocean Mapping Group's Role onboard the Nulaijuk.Our role since 2012 has been to test the Nuliajuk's acoustic equipment and collect as much depth, backscatter and sub-bottom data as possible throughout Southeast Baffin Island. The primary purpose being to build up coverage with each transit, improve navigation corridors to the Northern communities, study sea level history, geohazards, and marine habitat mapping. Data collected from the lengthy transits and planned surveys will allow scientists, hydrographers and the general community to better understand the Arctic seabed morphology and improve navigational safety. Each year, collected data is processed and made available on-line to all interested parties.Hydrographic efficiencies of operating a 19 m research platform in the eastern Canadian Arctic.
