AKA: none
Other ID: S-I2-09-SC
Status: Completed
Organization(s): USGS, Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center
Funding Program(s): Tsunami Hazard Potential (MU292)
Principal Investigator(s): James Conrad, Brian Edwards
Affiliate Investigator(s):
Information Specialist(s): James Conrad
Data Type(s): Sampling: Geology
Scientific Purpose/Goals: (1) Collect sediment cores (gravity corer) for C-14 dating to assess neotectonic activity (recency of fault motion and potential for tectonic-related hazards) (2) Seafloor sampling (box corer) on the mainland shelf near the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County (LACSD) ocean outfall at Whites Point to investigate porewater sampling protocols
