Page C. Valentine B.J. Todd 2010 <p>This map is part of a three-map series of German Bank, located on the Scotian Shelf off southern Nova Scotia.&nbsp; This map is the product of a number of surveys (1997-2003) that used a multibeam sonar system to map 5321 km² of the seafloor.&nbsp; Other surveys collected geological data for scientific interpretation.&nbsp; This map sheet shows the seafloor topography of German Bank in shaded-relief view and seafloor depth (coded by colour) at a scale of 1:1000,000.&nbsp; Topographic contours generated from the multibeam data are shown (in white) on the colour-coded multibeam topography at a depth interval of 20 m.&nbsp; Bathymetic contours (in blue) outside the multibeam survey area, presented at a depth interval of 10 m, are from the Natural Resource Map series (Canadian Hydrographic Service, 1967, 1971a, 1971b, 1972). Sheet 2 shows coloured backscatter strength in shaded-relief view.&nbsp; Sheet 3 shows seafloor topography in shaded-relief view with colour-coded surficial geological units.</p> application/pdf 10.4095/261833 en Geological Survey of Canada Shaded seafloor relief, backscatter strength, and surficial geology; German Bank, Scotian Shelf, offshore Nova Scotia reports
