Data types and categories

Data category: Imagery, Location-Elevation, Sampling, Seismics
Data type: Photo, Navigation, Geology, Sub Bottom Profiler

Equipment used

Equipment Usage description Data types Datasets
Piston corer This piston corer also had a trigger corer which is a small gravity corer that is attached to the piston coring system. Successful deployment of the system acquires a piston core as well as a trigger core that was collected right next to it. Geology 8
Camera- deep sea Photo (no data reported)
DGPS Navigation 1
Knudsen CHIRP Sub-bottom Profiler Sub Bottom Profiler 1
