Techniques are now available to prepare bathymétrie maps of the sea floor with detail similar to that of topographic maps on land. Gridded data sets can be displayed as shad-owgrams to enhance particular morphologic features. Glacial geomorphological features on the continental shelf off eastern Canadacan be interpreted in a manner analogous toglacial features on land. The last major dataset acquired by the CSS BAFFIN from the eastern Scotian Shelf shows a complex topography interpreted as a series of glacial tunnel valleys, which indicate several episodes of sub-glacial meltwater flow anderosion.
