Equipment Used: Alpine Vibracorer, DGPS, Grab sampler, Video camera - deep sea
Information to be Derived:
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Twenty-three stations were occupied in total. At each site a grab sample and 1-2 minutes of bottom video were collected. Vibracores of 40-485 cm length (7.5 cm diameter) were collected at 17 of the sites.
