Field Activity 09CCT04

Identifier 09CCT04
Purpose To create a complete modern topobathymetric map of the Mississippi barrier islands from Cat Island to Dauphin Island. Data to provide information for the following: sediment budget; assessment of immediate sand resources in the region, modern geologic framework; historical island change measurements; base-level assessment of the seafloor since the 2005 hurricane season
Location Horn Island, MS to Dauphin Island, AL
Info derived Submetrix swath bathymetry data; shallow sub-botom image profiles, high precision single beam bathymetry (X, Y, Z)
Comments Additional Equipment: Knudsen 320 bathy profiler.
