Rowe Chief Scientist, WHOI Dave Cacchione Scientist, USGS Western Region Alexander Malahoff Scientist, Office of Naval Research J. Donnelly Pilot D. Foster Pilot Equipment Used boxcore currentmeter underwatercamera Purpose Studies of sedimentation processes in submarine canyon and sediment movements on the shelf above. Information to be Derived Sedimentation patterns, currents, benthic faunal types. Summary Four Alvin dives into the lower Hudson Canyon were made as part of a Woods Hole program sponsored by the Office of Naval Research. Data was obtained on sedimentation patterns, currents, and benthic faunal types and activities at water depths between 2,800 and 3,400 m.
