Photographs of sediment cores collected offshore Cascadia, during field activities 2020-633-FA and 2021-636-FA Vibracore This dataset includes photographs (linescan images) of sediment cores collected along the Cascadia Subduction Zone. These cores were collected by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) aboard the R/V Western Flyer in 2020 and 2021 using the remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Doc Ricketts. All cores were transported to the U.S. Geological Survey's Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center sediment core photography. Jenna C Hill
