In close collaboration with Patrick Lajeunesse (Université Laval), the laboratory conducts research on board the R/V Louis-Edmond-Hamelin. The vessel is equipped with diverse geophysical (multibeam echosounder, side scan sonar and subbottom profiler) and coring equipment (grab sampler and small gravity corer). With its small draft and the possibility to move the ship on roads, the vessel is ideal for shallow coastal waters and lakes.
