| Abstract | As part of a reconnaissance sub-bottom acoustic profiling (SAP) survey, twenty-two and one SAP were collected from lakes Dufresnoy and Lac Petit Dufresnoy, Quebec, respectively, on July 19, 2014. There
is good penetration of the sub-bottom along many of the profiles. Three depositional facies can be identified within the SAP returns that represent lacustrine, glaciolacustrine and mass movement deposits. In many profiles, multiple occurrences of
mass movement deposits can be identified. The profiling reveals that Lac Dufresnoy 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. |
