Equipment Used: Box Corer, GPS , Vibracorer

Information to be Derived: Vibracores used to derive high-resolution sedimentation patterns of post Pleistocene geologic framework. Box cores to determine down core geochronology, contaminate history and palynological studies.

Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: A total of 75 cores were collected; 26 vibracores and 49 box cores.
