Colour-shaded seafloor relief, Kumak Channel 2010, Mackenzie Delta, Beaufort Sea, offshore northern Canada
The data set is an image of colour-shaded sun-illuminated seafloor topography collected from Kumak Channel in the Mackenzie Delta in the Beaufort Sea in 2010 by the Geological Survey of Canada (Atlantic) (GSCA). Data were collected with a SwathPlus Interferometric Sidescan system on Geological Surve...
