Affiliate Investigator(s):

Information Specialist(s): David Finlayson

Data Type(s): Location-Elevation: Navigation, Seismics: Boomer, Sonar: Interferometric, Sonar: Multibeam

Scientific Purpose/Goals: To map seafloor bathymetry/morphology and collect CHIRP seismic reflection profile data to characterize delta-bay habitats, sediment thickness, sediment facies, and recent change in sedimentation history
