Mapping the sea floor with the multibeam echosounder and the Moving Vessel Profiler

Jean-Guy and Gabriel make up the CCGS Amundsen’s mapping team. They use a Moving Vessel Profiler to measure different kinds of data such as speed of sound, temperature and dissolved oxygen content in the water. They also use a multibeam echosounder to create vivid 3-D maps of the Arctic sea floor. This video is part of a multimedia feature on the Canadian research icebreaker.
