| Purpose | A turbidity current pathway on the Louisiana slope was to be mapped with SIS-7000, seismic profiles, and piston cores to understand sand deposit formation. The study area was between 26 and 27.5 deg. N and 91 and 92 deg. W in water depths ranging from 800-2,800 m. | ||||||||
| Location | offshore Louisiana, United States, Gulf of Mexico, North America, North Atlantic; | ||||||||
| Comments | 4/5-15 Sidescan and seismics: Twichell - Ch Sci. 4/15-25. Piston coring: Twichell and Nelson - co-Ch Sci. A web page is in the process of being developed for this project, and we will update when it is on line. Project = Tectonics and sedimentary processes of the salt, Tectonics and sedimentary processes of the salt Information from Foghorn: DGPS and P-code GPS navigation, SIS7000 w/chirp sub-bottom, ISIS logger, acoustic ranging system, XSONAR;digital bathymetry, 3.5 kHz;GI gun, Mudseis; DGPS and P-code GPS for ship; 4/5-15 Sidescan and seismics: Twichell - Ch Sci. 4/15-25.
