Equipment Used: Vibracorer
Information to be Derived: Vibracores used to derive high-resolution sedimentation distribution and thickness; to locate sand deposits to be used in Louisiana beach renourishment projects.
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: A total of 227 vibracores were collected during this project. Cruise 00SCC01 contains vibracore samples BSS00-01 through BSS00-64.
