Funding Program(s): Coastal and marine earthquake, tsunami, and landslide active margin field studies (ZP00EQV)
Principal Investigator(s): Janet Watt, Jenna Hill
Affiliate Investigator(s):
Information Specialist(s): Alicia Balster-gee
Data Type(s): Seismics: Sub Bottom Profiler, Sampling: Geology
Scientific Purpose/Goals: To collect sediment cores for marine geohazard studies
Vehicle(s): MarFac; Ford 650 Box truck - White G71-03559
Start Port/Location: San Francisco, CA
End Port/Location: Astoria, OR
Start Date: 2022-09-18
End Date: 2022-10-03
Equipment Used: 0.5-16 kHz receiver, 0.5-16 kHz, pistoncore
Information to be Derived: Sediment age, character and distribution; earthquake recurrence; fault characterization
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Collected piston cores up to 8m-long along deepwater portions of northern CA, OR, and WA. Cruise was cut short due to ship mechanical issues. Did not get deepwater cores in WA. Chirp data were collected along the mid-slope in OR.
