Status: Completed
Organization(s): USGS, St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center
Funding Program(s):
Principal Investigator(s): James Flocks
Affiliate Investigator(s):
Information Specialist(s): Arnell Forde
Data Type(s): Electro-Magnetic: Resistivity, Location-Elevation: Benchmarks, Location-Elevation: Navigation, Location-Elevation: Profiles, Location-Elevation: Transects, Seismics: Sub Bottom Profiler, Sonar: Single Beam
Scientific Purpose/Goals: To create a complete modern topobathymetric map of the Mississippi barrier islands from Cat Island to Dauphin Island. Data to provide information for the following: sediment budget; assessment of immediate sand resources in the region, modern geologic framework; historical island change measurements; base-level assessment of the seafloor since the 2005 hurricane season.
Vehicle(s):
Start Port/Location: Moss Point, Mississippi
End Port/Location: Moss Point, Mississippi
Start Date: 2009-06-03
End Date: 2009-06-23
Equipment Used: TSS DMS-05 Motion Sensor, Interferometric Bathymetry System, Marimatech Echosounder, Ashtech Z-Xtreme DGPS, Chirp 424, Choke Ring Antenna, F190 DGPS/IMU, GPS topographic survey buggy
Information to be Derived: High precision Submetrix swath bathymetry data; shallow sub-bottom image profiles, recent shoreline topography (X, Y, Z).
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: A total of 203 (09CCT03 - 139 lines, 09CCT03A - 64 lines) Chirp 2-D subbottom profiles and 216 (09CCT03 - 146 lines, 09CCT03A - 70 lines) Swath lines were collected and ~50 km of shoreline were surveyed. Note: A subset of the seismic data collected around Cat Island, MS, was informally given the ID of 09CCT03A and consisted of lines 09c627 to 09c695.
