Other ID: P-1-02-SC
Status: Completed
Organization(s): University of California, Santa Barbara, Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI), Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center, Moss Landing Marine Laboratories, USGS, Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center
Funding Program(s): Natural Submarine Oil and Gas Seeps (MU198)
Principal Investigator(s): Thomas Lorenson
Affiliate Investigator(s): Charlie Paull
Information Specialist(s): Jennifer Dougherty
Data Type(s): Environmental Data: CTD, Location-Elevation: Navigation, Sampling: Chemistry, Seismics: Sub Bottom Profiler, Sonar: Single Beam
Scientific Purpose/Goals: This cruise will be dedicated to collecting hydrocasts over a section of the shelf adjacent to and north of Point Conception, CA. The intention is to better define the extent and location of natural hydrocarbon seeps. We will be measuring dissolved gases in the water column in real time.
