AKA: none
Other ID: I-6-90-AT,AMASSEDS
Status: Completed
Organization(s): USGS, Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center, State University of New York, Universidade Federal Fluminense
Funding Program(s):
Principal Investigator(s): Mead Allison
Affiliate Investigator(s): Gilberto Dias
Information Specialist(s):
Data Type(s): Time Series: Mooring (physical oceanography), Seismics: Sub Bottom Profiler
Scientific Purpose/Goals: To study the movement of sediment particles in the water column, the accumulation of sediment particles on the seabed, and the effects that sediment particles have on geochemical processes in the water column and seabed.
Vehicle(s):
Start Port/Location: Belem, Brazil
End Port/Location: Belem, Brazil
Start Date: 1990-05-01
End Date: 1990-05-07
Equipment Used: Geoprobe, seismic
Information to be Derived: High resolution seismic profiles
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Geophysical equipment was successfully tested and approximately 280 km of high resolution seismic profiles were obtained. The recovery of an instrumented-tripod (GEOPROBE) off the sea bottom was attempted but without success.
