26 CONCLUSIONS Inventory of subtidal delta morphology is being compiled. - bathymetry, backscatter, subbottom -including seabed sampling (as yet unanalysed) Repetitive Surveys reveal temporal evolution: both processes and volumes Clear relationship to: Exposure to wave-action Iceberg keel-depths and Frequency Watershed dimensions glacier fed? Sediment Discharge grain-size and provenance Relative Sea Level Subtidal is particularily sensitive to iceberg reworkingbalance between impacts and their burial is a potential geohazard risk indicator. << estimate impact frequency
27 FUTURE PLANS Re-visit deltas ( ): Stratchcona River South Adams Delta Navy Board Deltas - Difference Analysis: Vertical Accuracy Issues Tides/PPK/PPP Horizontal Accuracy - # satellites Genuine Geomorphic Evolution Progradation Mass Wasting Events Iceberg Impacts Southern Admiralty Inlet Deltas 10km Add new deltas: suggestions?
