To collect ground truth sediment samples, video and photographs to help characterize the seafloor geology and biota
Location
Long Island Sound, Connecticut, United States, Atlantic Ocean
Summary
SEABOSS operations were conducted in Long Island Sound aboard the R/V Connecticut from July 6-15, 2023 as part of an agreement with LISMaRC project, partnered with scientists at UConn and Univ of New Haven. A total of 91sampling sites were occupied during the survey where videos, still photographs and sediment samples were collected using the SEABOSS 2.0. Navigation was determined using a WAAS-enabled Hemisphere GPS receiver that was located directly above the SEABOSS winch (no offset to the deployment point was applied).
Info derived
grain size, seafloor character
Comments
SEABOSS operations will be conducted in Long Island Sound aboard the R/V Connecticut as part of an agreement with Univ of Connecticut (LISMaRC project) to map the geology and biota of Long Island Sound. This work is in conjunction with additional collaborators from University of New Haven and Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory (Columbia University).
