Chief Scientist: Mike Bothner. Geological data (slowcore, VanVeengrab, GPS, underwatercamera) of field activity 00070 (A-70-00-CD) in Massachusetts Cape Cod Bay from 08/17/2000 to 08/18/2000, http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/a/a7000cd/html/a-70-00-cd.meta.html. These data and information are intended for science researchers, students from elementary through college, policy makers, and general public. Equipment Used - slowcore VanVeengrab 1/10 sq. meter grab sampler GPS DGPS underwatercamera Osprey camera system with hand deployed wire Notes - Hydro wire (3/16 inch) was used at station 8 where water depth is 200m. This wire parted on the second deployment of the slow corer. Although the wire looked good and was tested (at the bitter end) and found to be of rated strength (3500 ?), it parted on the return trip from the bottom on the second cast. No evidence for a kink or a problem with the shieve. I learned later that the wire was at least 10 years old (predated Olmstead) so perhaps there was hidden corrosion. Next time, insist on a safety factor of 5 when lowering equipment to the bottom. Similar information is available for thousands of other USGS/CMG-related Activities. If known, available are Activity-specific navigation, gravity, magnetics, bathymetry, seismic, and sampling data; track maps; and equipment information; as well as summary overviews, crew lists, and information about analog materials.
