Mapping Beaufort Sea Topography and Geophysical Settings Using High-Resolution Geospatial Data and GMT
International audience The papers presents an integrated processing of the high-resolution thematic data covering the area of the Beaufort Sea, a marginal sea of the Arctic Ocean, northern Canada and Alaska. Five thematic maps of the Beaufort Sea, Arctic Ocean are presented. The cartographic techniq...
