View new CMGDS report form

Other ID: IB S-1-01-GM

Status: Completed

Organization(s): USGS, Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center

Funding Program(s):

Principal Investigator(s): David Twichell

Affiliate Investigator(s): Robert Halley, USGS-St. Pete; Al Hine, USF

Information Specialist(s): David Twichell

Data Type(s): Imagery: Photo, Imagery: Video, Location-Elevation: Navigation, Seismics: Boomer, Sonar: Multibeam, Sonar: Sidescan

Scientific Purpose/Goals: Use sidescan sonar, multibeam bathymetry, and high-resolution seismic data to map the geologic framework and distribution of deep water reefs west of the Florida Keys. An ROV was used to video the deep-water reef to determine extent and composition of benthic biota.

Vehicle(s):

Start Port/Location: St. Petersburg, FL

End Port/Location: St. Petersburg, FL

Start Date: 2001-09-05

End Date: 2001-09-12

Equipment Used: Boomer, Video camera - deep sea, DGPS, Edgetech DF-1000 sidescan sonar, ISIS, Simrad EM 3000, HYPACK, Digital camera, Single channel hydrophone

Information to be Derived:

Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Cruise ended early due to World Trade Center terrorism and tropical depression forming in the study area.
