Data Type(s): Sampling: Biology, Sampling: Geology

Scientific Purpose/Goals: Three replicate cores will be collected at each of the nine regional stations. Each box core will be subsampled for macrofauna, meiofauna, and sediment grain-size. Analysis of benthic infauna samples measurements of life-history parameters will be conducted on approximately 10 dominant species to determine the times of settlement and recruitment as well as size-frequency distributions of populations of each species on a seasonal basis. If juvenile cohorts are identified and followed with time, then it should be possible to detect any impact of drilling-related and production-related activities on individual year classes.
