To collect sediment cores for mudflow hazard assessment
Location
Mississippi River Delta Front
Summary
The 'Mega multicorer' was used to recover 17 cores (between 1 and 3 cores per location, depending on recovery). Of the 17 cores that were recovered, 8 were brought back to the WHMSC for archives and future sampling, 4 of them were subsampled in the field for sediment density (17 samples) and water chemistry (5 samples), and 5 were sent to Louisiana State University for processing (gamma density logging).
