Cruise related to work done in second part, cruise report 81020. The objectives of this leg of the cruise were to make high-resolution seismic profiles for reconnaissance use in research into late Pleistocene and Holocene sea-level rise and coral reef history and an investigation of sand resources in certain areas of the Dominican Republic; and to collect sediment samples offshore of the Dominican Republic coast to make grain and trace metals analyses in the Geo-laboratory of the Department of Natural Resources. This data will be used for Rafael Rodriguez' PhD thesis.
