Equipment Used

|
Purpose
|
Sample the bottom sediment in and near the
landslide to determine the affect of the slide on benthic infauna,
determine the grain size of the sediment that was transported offshore in
the 1995 landslide.
|
|
|
Information to be Derived
|
Benthic infauna, grain size
|
|
|
Summary
|
Bottom samples were collected at five stations on three transects,
which ran from either 10 or 30 m to 89 m water depths. These transects were
located (1) east of the slide area (control), (2) on the older landslide
deposits, and (3) on the 1995 landslide deposits.

cruise.
