08016 | USGS Cruise Identification, where the first two numbers indicate year of data collection, and the last three numbers indicate the USGS cruise number for a given calendar year |
This data set includes the locations, identifiers, grain-size descriptions of surficial sediment samples collected at 13 stations within the St. Clair River between Michigan and Ontario, Canada during USGS Cruise 08016. The sediment samples were collected in order to ground-truth geophysical data and characterize the surficial sediment distribution of the riverbed.
