Field Activity 13CCT01

Identifier 13CCT01
Purpose Establish baseline bathymetry for repeated bathymetry surveys in the area. Data from the surveys will be used in an effort to identify and track sediment movement between the marsh and the channel environments.
Location New Iberia, LA; Weeks Bay within Vermillion Bay
Summary Single-beam bathy lines (74); Knudsen sub-bottom lines (74), sound velocity profiles (22); 4-inch sediment push cores (3); Peat auger cores (2); Ponar sediment grab samples (4); GPR profile lines (15)
Info derived Bathymetry data (x,y,z), base station data, differential navigation, shallow sub-bottom profile, sedimentary analysis, GPR profiles.
Comments Operation personnel were used to design the single beam mount for the R/V Mako. GPR data were unusable, due to attenuation caused by saltwater-intrusion. Sediment Samples will be archived and are on the east wall of the SPCMSC Sed Lab as of July 18th, 2018.
