Field Activity 1982-020-FA

Identifier 1982-020-FA
Alternate names OC122
Purpose 1. Recover current moorings in Lydonia and Oceanographer Canyons. 2. Deploy current moorings in Lydonia Canyon and Lease Block 312. 3. Obtain surface grab samples on shelf and slope adjacent to Lydonia and Oceanographer Canyons. 4. Obtain hydrostatically damped cores at Lease Blocks 312 and 410 and head of Lydonia Canyon. 5. Obtain piston cores at head of Lydonia Canyon. 6. Conduct hydrographic survey of shelf and slope adjacent to Lydonia and Oceanographer Canyons. 7. Recover and redeploy surface marker buoys as required. 8. Conduct bathymetric survey in Lydonia Canyon.
