Field Activity G170CS

Identifier G170CS
Alternate names G-1-70-CS,G-1-70-AR
Purpose To provide background data for interpreting ecological relationships, to locate and define these relationships, and to outline the processes of sediment transport and deposition.
Description Chief Scientist: Art Grantz.
