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.

  • Canadian Arctic Tide Measurement Techniques and Results

    Canadian Arctic Tide Measurement Techniques and Results

    International Hydrographie Review, Monaco, LXIII (2), July 1986 CANADIAN ARCTIC TIDE MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES AND RESULTS by B.J. TAIT, S.T. GRANT, D. St.-JACQUES and F. STEPHENSON (*) ABSTRACT About 10 years ago the Canadian Hydrographic Service recognized the need for a planned approach to completing tide and current surveys of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago in order to meet the requirements of marine shipping and construction industries as well as the needs of environmental studies related to resource development. Therefore, a program of tidal surveys was begun which has resulted in a data base of tidal records covering most of the Archipelago. In this paper the problems faced by tidal surveyors and others working in the harsh Arctic environment are described and the variety of equipment and techniques developed for short, medium and long-term deployments are reported. The tidal characteris­ tics throughout the Archipelago, determined primarily from these surveys, are briefly summarized. It was also recognized that there would be a need for real time tidal data by engineers, surveyors and mariners. Since the existing permanent tide gauges in the Arctic do not have this capability, a project was started in the early 1980’s to develop and construct a new permanent gauging system. The first of these gauges was constructed during the summer of 1985 and is described. INTRODUCTION The Canadian Arctic Archipelago shown in Figure 1 is a large group of islands north of the mainland of Canada bounded on the west by the Beaufort Sea, on the north by the Arctic Ocean and on the east by Davis Strait, Baffin Bay and Greenland and split through the middle by Parry Channel which constitutes most of the famous North West Passage.

Every single one will not only bring you to places of beauty and importance, but will connect you to them. Through the summer season we have the great thrill of exploring the mighty North Atlantic. We’ll range all the way from the cities of Scotland through the Outer Hebrides, north around the ancient settlements of Orkney and Shetland, and end up in St. Andrews, where we’ll help the University celebrate its 600th anniversary. Then there’s unforgettable Iceland, and beyond lies the world’s largest island, Greenland, where we’ll watch giant icebergs calve and meet with the Greenlandic people. Further West, in the Canadian Arctic, or in rugged Labrador or music-filled Newfoundland, we’re on home ground, with expeditions that take us from Inuit art centres like Baffin Island’s Kinngait (Cape Dorset) all the way to The Northwest Passage. Our itineraries are thoughtfully designed to include areas of exceptional splendour, optimal wildlife viewing and historical significance. Our teams of experts – geologists, botanists, biologists, anthropologists and historians, as well as artists in words, music, painting and more – are there to make sure that we’ll all learn a lot, gaining insight into both the natural and the cultural landscape.
