Information to be Derived:
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: We were able to take advantage of the transit of the Canadian ship Parizeau, from Pacific to Atlantic Geoscience Centres, by using a few extra days en route to survey submarine fans. The goals were to better understand the processes that lead to the formation of sandy submarine fans and the role of sea level changes in their formation. About 850 line km of high-quality Huntec DTS and sleeve-gun reflection profiles were obtained of Hueneme, Mugu and Dume submarine fans, Santa Monica Basin, off southern California. The data showed for the first time the detailed distribution of sand bodies on a modern sandy submarine fan.
