| Abstract | As part of a reconnaissance sub-bottom acoustic profiling (SAP) survey, 36 SAP were collected along the northern area of Lac Duparquet, Quebec, on July 17, 2014. There is good penetration into the
sub-bottom along most of the profiles. Three depositional facies are present within the SAP returns that represent lacustrine, glaciolacustrine and mass movement deposits. The profiling reveals that Lac Duparquet is a suitable basin for follow-up
detailed profiling and core collection to further investigate the mass movement deposit(s). |
| Summary | (Plain Language Summary, not published)
This report is one of eight that are being released concurrently. All contain the results of geophysical surveys of the bed of a selected lakes in the
area of Rouyn-Noranada-Kirkland Lake, Quebec-Ontario. The results from some of the lakes show evidence of ancient landslides that occurred in a large glacial lake. These results will be used in a study that is investigating whether the landslides
were triggered by an ancient earthquake. |
