Data Type(s): Location-Elevation: Navigation, Sampling: Geology
Scientific Purpose/Goals: Understand the geologic evolution of the coast and inner cont. shelf and aid in coastal management. By investigating the subsurface sediment facies present on the shelf and determine the relationship among facies and with the underlying carbonate platform.
Vehicle(s):

Information to be Derived: Grain size, calcium carbonate content and total organic content for all cores. Select samples mineralogy by XRD analysis and age dating by carbon 14 or Sr-isotope ratio.
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: 123 cores collected and analyzed from Oct. 1994 to Sept. 1997 47 cores were collected in association with the USGS section of the project for 1995.
