Characterization of the Geological Framework, Mapping sediment
distribution, and locating offshore sand resources.
Location
Barataria Basin, Northern Gulf of Mexico - Louisiana, Louisiana
Summary
A total of 227 vibracores were collected during this project. Cruise 00SCC01
contains vibracore samples BSS00-01 through BSS00-64.
Info derived
Vibracores used to derive high-resolution sedimentation distribution
and thickness; to locate sand deposits to be used in Louisiana beach
renourishment projects.
Comments
