Status: Completed

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

Funding Program(s):

Principal Investigator(s): William Schwab

Affiliate Investigator(s): Walter Barnhardt

Information Specialist(s): PARTNER

Data Type(s): Seismics: Sub Bottom Profiler, Location-Elevation: Navigation, Biological Field Study: Experiments (biological), Biological Field Study: Surveys (biological), Imagery: Photo, Imagery: Video, Sampling: Biology, Sampling: Geology, Visual Identification: Species ID, Sonar: Sidescan

Scientific Purpose/Goals: Determine sediment distribution and thickness behind Bonneville Dam, sediment budget for Columbia River, and geologic control on benthic habitat (salmon, white sturgeon).

Vehicle(s):

Information to be Derived:

Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Completed sidescan mosaic of reservoir. Approx. 30 km of sub-bottom collected before davit failed; fish lost, recovered 3 days later! Samples collected at 21 sites, most with good video and still photos. Sidescan sonar; Sub-bottom: 15 lines, 30 km; Samples.
