Just over 14% of the Canadian Arctic Ocean has been surveyed using multi-beam sonar mapping techniques, and comprehensive charting of navigable shallow water is even more scarce. With the use of LiDAR satellites and multispectral sensors, optically shallow water that is free of sea ice can be modele...
