Purpose
|
Lake Pontchartrain Geologic Framework and Coastal Processes study was to
analyze environmental change focusing on evaluating environmental conditions,
sediment quality, coastal processes and geomorphology.
|
|
|
Information to be Derived
|
Vibracores used to derive high-resolution sedimentation patterns post
Pleistocene geologic framework. Seismic used to characterize near surface
geology, as it relates to sediment inventory.
|
|
|
Summary
|
A total of 104 miles of seismic data and 29 vibracores were collected
for 97GFP01. Bathymetry data were collected from July 26 - Aug 3 and Boomer
data (17 lines) were collected from August 7 - 11.

Notes
|
- These FACS logs were generated by Chandra Dreher in June of 2003,
using the handwritten logbooks and personal accounts of the scientist and
crewmembers. Noted were some Nav equipment problems, which LORAN was used for
Nav during the Seismic survey.
Samples PON96 stored at the University of New Orleans, New Orleans, LA,
contact Phil McCarty pmccarty@uno.edu.

Got Help?
|
For 97GFP01, we would appreciate any information on -- analog materials, contract, days at sea, dive count, funding, kms of navigation, national plan, NGDC Info, owner, project number, scanned materials, seismic description, station count, station description, submersible, tabulated info.
