Field Activity O102GM

Identifier O102GM
Alternate names O-1-02-GM,OS-02-GM
Purpose Map specific areas on the outer continental shelf, northwestern Gulf of Mexico. These data should prove extremely useful in relating dominant species groups (which display highly specific biotope affinities) to the geomorphology (e.g., reef flattop, forereef crest, reef wall, reef base, circum-reef talus zone, circum-reef, high-reflectivity sediment apron, etc.).
Description University of New Brunswick,United States Geological Survey, Menlo Park, California,C&C Technologies, Inc.. Chief Scientist: Jim Gardner.

Location Northwest Gulf of Mexico
Info derived Bathymetry and calibrated, co-registered acoustic backscatter
