Industry seismic reflection profiles show that the Scott Inlet Graben is the southern end of an elongated basin (200-300 km by 25- 50 km wide) extending to the northwest along the Baffin Margin – now named Scott Inlet Basin – which contains up to 6 km of Mesozoic and Cenozoic strata. The seismic data define the outer edge of the Scott Inlet Basin; however, the landward edge is largely unknown and may locally outcrop onshore. Recent multibeam bathymetry data have been collected over the Scott Inlet Seep location as part of the ARCTICNET Research Program to study benthic habitats and geohazards in the Canadian Arctic waterways.

  • Stefan Glowacz on Baffin Island at the End of the World by Stefan Glowacz
    Stefan Glowacz on Baffin Island At the End of the World By Stefan Glowacz and Tom Dauer May 15th 2008 Actually, we should have been content, happy even. For days we had been climbing on this wall that rose 700 meters from the ice. For days our world had been tilted vertical. For days we had laboured, suffered, feared and hoped. Until we had reached the highest point of the “Bastions”, a granite tower on the east coast of Baffin Island. The wind had lulled as we sat in the sun on the summit plateau. No human had been here before us. No one had yet looked out from here over the Buchan Gulf, over the Cambridge and the Quernbiter Fjord, and the Icy Arm. In the east, the flow edge marked the boundary between the ice pack and the open sea. And further out, beyond the Baffin Bay, lay Greenland. For more than an hour we enjoyed the view, the peace. Then we started to rappel down to base. Actually, a load should have fallen from our shoulders now. But Klaus Fengler, Holger Heuber, Mariusz Hoffmann, Robert Jasper and I knew very well that our lives would be depending on a shattering fundament. We had no more than 20 days to reach Clyde River, 350 kilometres away, each of us lugging a 75-kilogram pulka over melting ice. Four Weeks Earlier Looking out the window of the small Twin Otter, I felt like staring into a giant freezer and I realized that you can’t only feel the cold, but you can also see it.

  • Geoplanspring 2011
    SPRING 2011 GEOPLAN DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY & PROGRAM IN PLANNING AND THE UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO ASSOCIATION OF GEOGRAPHY ALUMNI (UTAGA) Celebrating our 75th Anniversary he Department of Geography at the University of Toronto was founded in 1935 and the academic year 2010-11 was therefore our 75th anniversary. We had an excellent celebration, packed Twith events. It started early in September with a display at Robarts Library of more than 100 books authored by geography faculty and alumni. The display was seen by thousands of visitors to the library between September and October. We also put on a special departmen- tal speakers series with the theme of “Intersections” between human and physical geography and between geographers and the community. Twenty-two guest speakers participated and we held special panel sessions on the Tar Sands, Climate Change, the Aboriginal City, and Women and Factory Work in China. The biggest event of the year was a full weekend of activities in mid-September. The weekend began early on Thursday, September 16th, when the Planning Alumni Committee hosted its first Fall Plan- ning Mixer at the Duke of York, in honour of Geography’s 75th. On Friday afternoon, renowned climate change scholar Professor Diana Liverman (MA ‘80) from the University of Arizona gave a public lecture on “Governing Climate”. This was followed by an opening reception and book launch for Reflections on the History of Geography at the University of Toronto. On Saturday, there was a faculty panel ses- sion in the morning on the history of the department and a workshop exploring mapping on the web.

  • Cruise Tourism and Sea Ice in Canada's Hudson Bay Region
    ARCTIC VOL. 63, NO. 1 (MARCH 2010) P. 57–66 Cruise Tourism and Sea Ice in Canada’s Hudson Bay Region E.J. SteWArt,1 A. TIVY,2 S.E.L. HOWell,3 J. DAWSON4 and D. DRAPer5 (Received 26 March 2009; accepted in revised form 15 July 2009) ABSTRACT. Tourism in the Hudson Bay region of central northern Canada generally is associated with non-consumptive forms of nature-based activities (such as polar bear viewing). However, the region has experienced variable growth in the cruise sector in recent years. This paper examines patterns of cruise activity in all subregions of the Hudson Bay region during three cruise seasons (2006, 2008, and 2009) and mainly reveals a pattern of decline. Since the prevalence of sea ice is an important part of visitor experiences of polar cruises, we examine sea ice change and occurrence of icebergs in the Hudson Bay region. Our sea ice analysis suggests that the length of the navigable shipping season is increasing in this region, which may facilitate both earlier and later shipping. But in terms of cruise traffic, we suggest that the demise of ice coverage signals a possible decline in cruise activity in most of the Hudson Bay region because ice-supported wildlife may shift north with the diminishing ice regime. Given the possible environmental and socio-cultural implications of changing cruise activity patterns in the Arctic and the absence of broad-scale monitoring and surveillance of the industry, use of these available data sources is vital to building a clearer picture. Key words: Canadian Arctic, Hudson Bay region, sea ice, tourism, polar tourism, cruise tourism RÉSUMÉ.

  • Paul Gauguin
    Welcome Interliners to this week's edition of Interline Travel With Gordon Froese! Did You Know: • Whether it's an ocean cruise, a river cruise, an escorted tour, an all-inclusive resort, a hotel, flight, car rental, rail, insurance, or a fully customized dream vacation package - whatever it is, Gordon can make it a reality! • There has never been a better time to book both luxury ocean and river cruises. Considering the fact that luxury lines like Silversea, Regent, Seabourn, Paul Gauguin, Crystal, AmaWaterways, Uniworld and Viking offer all-inclusive pricing (including gratuities, alcohol, and even shore excursions in many cases), you will find that you can take a luxury cruise and end up spending less money than many standard cruises. • The River and Luxury cruise sections can be found by scrolling down to the bottom of this email. Please remember that prices shown in this email, the gordonfroes.com website, or any other website, have the potential to become outdated quite quickly. It is always in your best interest to call & check to see if there are any new prices that have not yet been posted. And now on to the latest interline specials...
