Field Activity M165EG

Identifier M165EG
Alternate names M-1-65-EG
Purpose To obtain evidence from bathymetry, subbottom profiling, sediment distribution, and related features around the Prince William Sound area which could be ascribed to the causes and the results of the devastation on the earthquake-affected shores and seafloors following the 27 March 1964 Earthquake.
