Principal Investigator(s): Jenna Hill, Kurt Rosenberger
Affiliate Investigator(s): Andrea Ogston; University of Washington
Information Specialist(s): Kurt Rosenberger
Data Type(s): Time Series: Mooring (physical oceanography)
Scientific Purpose/Goals: Recover oceanographic moorings and tripods in two canyons to collect data on currents, suspended sediment and sediment transport over one year. Collect sediment cores in the canyons and on the continental shelf to determine surficial sediment characteristics such as grainsize, shear strength
