Status: Completed
Organization(s): USGS, Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center
Funding Program(s):
Principal Investigator(s): Michael Bothner
Affiliate Investigator(s): Michael Field - CMGP-Menlo Park
Information Specialist(s): Michael Bothner
Data Type(s): Location-Elevation: Navigation, Sampling: Geology
Scientific Purpose/Goals: Sediment coring in reef embayments and in the shallow lagoon inshore of coral reef. Purpose of sampling is to determine recent rates of sediment accumulation in areas where the reef health is degraded.
Vehicle(s):
Start Port/Location: Kaunakakai, Molokai, HI
End Port/Location: Kaunakakai, Molokai, HI
Start Date: 1999-04-14
End Date: 1999-04-14
Equipment Used: GPS - Handheld, Gravity corer, Grab sampler, DGPS
Information to be Derived:
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: SCUBA diving was used to a max. depth of 60 feet. Most observations of coral and sampling will be accomplished by snorkeling. Each of the field party collected sediment samples and photographed the bottom. The fluff sampler, slide hammer corer, and grab sampler were tested on this cruise.
