Relief Map Figure 1


Figure 1 A) Bathymetric relief image of the northwestern quadrant of the study area, showing terminal- (end), and side-moraines, resulting from the Fraser Stade glacial recession. B) Single channel seismic reflection profile over one of the moraines, showing they are composed of seismic unit 2 ( till and diamict) and emanating from the till are the glacial marine sediments of seimic unit 3 (see Surficial Geology map sheet for descriptions of the acoustic units). Overlying unit 3 is thin and locally thick occurrences of unit 4, reworked Holocene material deposited as sediment drifts, wedges and various bedforms. C) A Huntec high resolution seismic profile of the flank of the moraine shows details of how the glacial marine material is rooted in the diamict.

Figure 2: High resolution seafloor relief map of the Victoria water front. Data were collected with a Simrad EM3000 multibeam system. The multibeam data have been superimposed on the relief generated from single beam echo-sounding data.

B)Huntec DTS seismic reflection profile, west to east along three of the larger dunes (8X vertical exaggeration); and C) at 1:1 scale across the largest dune (the rightmost dune in B). Note the high amplitude reflection horizon beneath the dunes and the clinoform reflections within the dunes facing east.
