AKA: none

Other ID: F-1-89-NC, FRNL, F1-89-NC

Status: Completed

Organization(s): USGS, Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center, USGS, Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center

Funding Program(s): Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ) (MU101)

Principal Investigator(s): John Chin, Dave Rubin

Affiliate Investigator(s):

Information Specialist(s): John Chin, Dave Rubin

Data Type(s): Electro-Magnetic: Gravity, Imagery: Video, Location-Elevation: Navigation, Sampling: Geology, Seismics: Boomer, Seismics: Sub Bottom Profiler, Sonar: Sidescan, Sonar: Single Beam

Scientific Purpose/Goals: The objectives of cruises 89001 and 89002 were to obtain a baseline data set of high-resolution sidescan-sonar imagery, single-channel geophysical profiles (high resolution) of the shallow subbottom, intermediate-penetration 40 cubic inch airgun profiles, and the surface sediment samples. The baseline data set was designed to allow us to characterize and understand this shallow segment of the continental margin off San Francisco, and to serve as a preliminary database for subsequent, more detailed and site specific studies.
