| Cruise log | Acquisition and observation logs for seabed video and sediment samples collected aboard the R/V Auk on Stellwagen Bank. |
| Equipment | Usage description | Data types | Datasets |
|---|---|---|---|
| SeaBOSS | The SEABed Observation and Sampling System (SEABOSS) was used to collect sediment samples with a modified Van Veen sampler and video images of the seabed with GoPro cameras mounted on the frame. A CTD was mounted horizontally on the SEABOSS frame. | Surveys (biological), Experiments (biological), Species ID, Photo, Video, Geology, Biology | 3 |
| Furuno satellite compass SC-30 | The location information for stations was acquired from a satellite navigation receiver (Furuno satellite compass SC-30, GPS receiver). | Navigation | 1 |
| GoPro camera | Seabed video images were collected using a GoPro digital video camera mounted on SEABOSS to provide ground-truth information for geophysical datasets and are used in seabed interpretations. Frame-grab images were extracted from the video. | Photo, Video | 2 |
| SBE 19plus V2 SeaCAT Profiler CTD | In addition to the CTD water column profiling, the CTD is equipped with auxiliary sensors to measure fluorescence and turbidity. | CTD, Fluorescence, Turbidity | 1 |
| Canon G12 | Still photos taken with the Canon G12 mounted in housing on SEABOSS. Due to the low quality of the photos, grab images from the GoPro video camera were used for mapping purposes. | Photo | (no data reported) |

| q2_stations_geology | SeaBOSS | Station locations in quadrangle 2 in Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary offshore of Boston, Massachusetts where video, photographs and sediment samples were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey from 1993-2019 - includes sediment sample analyses and interpreted geologic substrate. This shapefile contains the quadrangle 2 station locations, interpreted geologic substrate at each location, and description of sampling type (sediment sample, video, photograph). Station locations that have sediment samples include the sediment analyses data. These stations represent information used in the geologic interpretation. | Page C Valentine |

| q2_geologic_interp | Interpretation of the seabed geologic substrates in quadrangle 2 of the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary region offshore of Boston, Massachusetts based on data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey from 1993-2019. This interpretation is based on multibeam sonar bathymetry, multibeam backscatter imagery, video, photos, and grain-size analyses of samples collected from the seabed in the time period 1993-2019. | Page C Valentine |
