Field Activity 2022-653-FA

Identifier 2022-653-FA
Purpose To collect sediment cores for marine geohazard studies
Location Northern California, Oregon, Washington, United States, Pacific Ocean
Summary Collected piston cores up to 8m-long along deepwater portions of northern CA, OR, and WA. Cruise was cut short due to ship mechanical issues. Did not get deepwater cores in WA. Chirp data were collected along the mid-slope in OR.
Info derived Sediment age, character and distribution; earthquake recurrence; fault characterization
