Professional Surveyor Magazine: ARCTIC QUESTS

摘要

In April 2011, multiple organizations in Canada launched an initiative to focus and evaluate a multidisciplinary approach to mapping and charting in Canada's Arctic. A small portion of the historic Northwest Passage--the Victoria and Alexandra Straits--was selected as the area to be mapped. Here, expertise in hydrography, archaeology, ocean technology, space technology, and environmental science was coordinated to capture, analyze, and publish data from various ocean-going, airborne, and spaceborne platforms.
