Data Type(s): Location-Elevation: Navigation, Sampling: Geology, Seismics: Sub Bottom Profiler
Scientific Purpose/Goals: Lake Pontchartrain Geologic Framework and Coastal Processes study was to analyze environmental change focusing on evaluating environmental conditions, sediment quality, coastal processes and geomorphology.
Vehicle(s):
Start Port/Location: New Orleans
End Port/Location: New Orleans
Start Date: 1997-07-13
End Date: 1997-08-11
Equipment Used: GPS , Vibracorer, Chirp 424
Information to be Derived: Vibracores used to derive high-resolution sedimentation patterns post Pleistocene geologic framework. Seismic used to characterize near surface geology, as it relates to sediment inventory.
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: A total of 104 miles of seismic data and 29 vibracores were collected for 97GFP01. Bathymetry data were collected from July 26 - Aug 3 and Boomer data (17 lines) were collected from August 7 - 11.

Notes: These FACS logs were generated by Chandra Dreher in June of 2003,
using the handwritten logbooks and personal accounts of the scientist and
crewmembers. Noted were some Nav equipment problems, which LORAN was used for
Nav during the Seismic survey.
