Description
Summary:Bathymetry data was acquired during R/V MARIA S. MERIAN cruise MSM44 in the northeastern Baffin Bay between 30.06.2015 and 30.07.2015. The cruise carried out multidisciplinary research in order to investigate the deglaciation history of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GIS). To research the involved ocean, cryosphere and climate processes and feedbacks and to address the complex spatial and temporal distribution patterns of the marine GIS terminations in the northeast Baffin Bay, RV MARIA S. MERIAN visited sites in the Davis Strait, the Uumannaq Trough, and the Melville Bay during expedition MSM44. The objectives were to systematically search for and map glacigenic seafloor features providing information on the maximum extend and retreat histories of ice sheets since the last glacial maximum and during the Holocene. Extensive mapping was conducted due to the fact, that several huge parts of Greenland's coast are only insufficiently mapped or completely uncharted and thus are barely reliable in concern of navigation ...
