Equipment Used: SeaBOSS, ROV, DGPS
Information to be Derived: Samples and chemical analysis;Grain size analysis;Habitat maps;Sea floor map;
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Days were divided between 1) Seaboss work collecting data for benthic infauna (R. Zajac, Univ. New haven); bulk chemistry (T. Kenna, LDEO); sediment texture, bottom photography, and CHN (L. Poppe, USGS); 2) CTD and current measurements (K. Howard-Strobel, UCONN); and bottom photographic habitat transects (L. Stefaniak, UCONN). Only the Texture, CHN, and photography in support of the infauna work will be analyzed at the WHCMSC.

Notes: This cruise will involve SEABOSS work aboard the RV Connecticut. The cruise was originally scheduled for September, but delayed due to problems with the ship's transmission
