Information Specialist(s): Kelli Moran
Data Type(s): Sampling: Geology
Scientific Purpose/Goals: To collect sediment cores for mudflow hazard assessment
Vehicle(s):
Start Port/Location: Gulfport, MS
End Port/Location: Gulfport, MS
Start Date: 2024-07-14
End Date: 2024-07-21
Equipment Used: OSIL Mega Multiple Corer
Information to be Derived: sediment analysis data
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: The 'Mega multicorer' was used to recover 17 cores (between 1 and 3 cores per location, depending on recovery). Of the 17 cores that were recovered, 8 were brought back to the WHMSC for archives and future sampling, 4 of them were subsampled in the field for sediment density (17 samples) and water chemistry (5 samples), and 5 were sent to Louisiana State University for processing (gamma density logging).
