Scientific Purpose/Goals: STRATA FORmation on Margins (STRATAFORM) was initiated in 1994 by the Office of Naval Research as a coordinated multi-investigator study of continental-margin sediment transport processes and stratigraphy. The program is investigating the stratigraphic signature of the shelf and slope portions of continental margins, and hopes to provide better understanding of the sedimentary record and better prediction of strata.

Equipment Used: boxcore, pistoncore, Kastencore, watersamples, navigation, CTD
Information to be Derived: cores were analyzed using a multi-sensor core logger, yielding P-wave velocity, wet bulk density, and magnetic susceptibility data.
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: 148 box cores, 5 piston cores, and 10 Kasten cores, along with 10 CTD casts.
