Funding Program(s):

Principal Investigator(s): Roberto Anima

Affiliate Investigator(s): J.F. Trait

Information Specialist(s):

Data Type(s): Location-Elevation: Navigation, Seismics: Boomer, Sonar: Sidescan, Sonar: Single Beam

Scientific Purpose/Goals: Three goals: 1. Image the coastal nearshore to determine areas of rock outcorps and depositional sites for sand using side-scanning sonar; 2. Image the thickness of the sediment accumulation over bedrock using high-resolution geophysical profiling; 3. Gather bathymetric profiling data to be used both for geophysical record interpretation and for mapping of the nearshore areas previously unmapped in detail by personnel of Pacific Marine Geology.
