BAY OF FUNDY MULTIBEAM COMPILATION
Overview
As part of ongoing collaborative Federal and University-based science
programs, multibeam sonar bathymetry and
backscatter have been collected in the Bay of Fundy since 1992. Most
recently, as part of
the Geoscience for Ocean Management (GOM) Program within Natural
Resources Canada and as part of the Ocean Action Plan, jointly between
Natural Resources and the Dept. of Fisheries and Oceans, an enlarged
mapping component has been undertaken in 2006 and 2007. This mapping
program is expected to end in 2008.
Images herein represent the state of the mapping at the end of 2009.
All these data, taken together represent a massive resource of seabed
information. This set of web pages presents a processing and
integration effort, lead by the Ocean Mapping Group at the University
of New Brunswick.
