|---|---|---|---|
| Rosette | The rosette was used to collect CTD information which was submitted as a separate collection. | Chemistry | |
| Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) Logger/Probe | CTD cast had lots of errors when deploying. Some temperature, oxygen, sanity, and depth was collected, but not all. | CTD | |
| Sediment Trap | 2 sediment traps were collected. 13 cup trap (poisoned with sodium borate) and 21 cup trap (poisoned with formaldehyde). | Geology |
