Surface (sea floor) and near-surface (box cores) sediment mineralogy in Baffin Bay

Projects:

Summary

To better understand the glacial history of the ice sheets surrounding Baffin Bay and to provide information on sediment pathways, samples from 82 seafloor grabs and core tops, and from seven box cores were subjected to quantitative X-ray diffraction weight percent (wt.%) analysis of the <2 mm sediment fraction.
