  Description:
    Abstract:
      United States Geological Survey, St. Petersburg, Florida.
      Chief Scientist: Jack Kindinger. Box Coring and Vibracoring
      data (vibratingcore, boxcore) of field activity 98GPF01
      (G-1-98-LA) in Lake Pontchartrain, Louisiana (South Shore
      Dredge Pits, NE Pit in frontof Airport lake front, LA) from
      06/04/1998 to 06/19/1998,
      http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/g/g198la/html/g-1-98-la.meta.html.

    Purpose:
      These data and information are intended for science
      researchers, students from elementary through
      college, policy makers, and general public.

    Supplemental_Information:

      Equipment Used -

      vibratingcore                 Seafloor core, Brand: Bradford pneumatic, Media: 3"x 20' pipe, Code: vc

      boxcore                       Seafloor core, Media: Stainless Box, Code: boxc, Comment: 1m2x1m

      Notes -

      These FACS logs were generated by Chandra Dreher in June of 2003, using

      the handwritten logbooks and personal accounts of the scientist and crew

      members.

      


      Box cores with sample site number IDs are stored at the USGS St. Petersburg

      downstairs SE corner core lab (contact Jack Kindinger jkindinger@usgs.gov).

      


      Vibracores with sample ID name PON97 are stored at the University of New

      Orleans, New Orleans (contact Phil McCarty pmccarty@uno.edu).

      


      These data can be accessed using the Louisiana Sedimentary and Environmental Database Internet Map Server (LASED IMS) located on line at:
