| Summary: | The main objective of EGLACOM is the geophysical and stratigraphic high-resolution study of an ice stream dominated marine depositional system of the Arctic margin in order to reconstruct the margin evolution locally from the Pliocene to the recent-most deglaciation, and to define the sedimentary architecture and seafloor morphology as it changed through time since the onset of glacial conditions. The target study area is the southern margin of Svalbard, and in particular the glacial sedimentary system fed by the ice stream once occupying the Storfjiorden glacial trough in the northern Barents Sea. 1071 kilometres of MultiChannel Seismic profiles have been acquired using Sleeve Airguns 96-channel Sercel digital streamer. |
