The paper describes an approach for a quality controlled mapping of grain sizes and sediment textures for the Beaufort Shelf in the Canadian Arctic. The approach is based on grain size data collected during The Nahidik Program (2005-2009) and earlier. A replenishment of grain size data since the 198...
