View new CMGDS report form

Other ID: none

Status: Completed

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

Funding Program(s):

Principal Investigator(s): William Schwab, E. Robert Thieler

Affiliate Investigator(s): Paul Gayes - CCU

Information Specialist(s): E. Robert Thieler

Data Type(s): Seismics: Sub Bottom Profiler, Location-Elevation: Navigation, Sampling: Geology, Seismics: Boomer, Sonar: Sidescan

Scientific Purpose/Goals: Leg 1: geophysics; Leg 2: vibracoring.

Vehicle(s):

Start Port/Location: Woods Hole, MA

End Port/Location: Woods Hole, MA

Start Date: 1999-07-26

End Date: 1999-08-06

Equipment Used: SIS1000 Chirp Sonar, DGPS, SIS1000 Sidescan sonar, Boomer, Alpine Vibracorer, Van Veen grab sampler, Single channel hydrophone

Information to be Derived:

Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Leg 1 went well. Leg 2 was cancelled after determining that the coring rig was overweight relative to ship's specs and thus presented an untenable operation.
