Chief Scientist: Brad Butman. Sampling; CTD; GEMS data (Craib corer) of field activity 2010-077-FA (E-77-10-GU) in Gulf of Maine, United States, North America, North Atlantic;Gulf of Maine, United States, North America, North Atlantic; from 10/13/2010 to 10/23/2010, http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/e/e7710gu/html/e-77-10-gu.meta.html. These data and information are intended for science researchers, students from elementary through college, policy makers, and general public. Equipment Used - Craib corer Notes - Platform Owner: University of Rhode Island Sponsoring Office: Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center Affiliate Principal and Organization (if any): Bruce Keafer (Chief Scientist), Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution; Don Anderson (PI), Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Number of days at sea: 11 Major Center Equipment Required: Corer - slow,conductivity-temperature-depth profiler (CTD), Gust Erosion Microcosm System (GEMS) Equipment Required from Other Sources: Craib corer Data Types: Location/Navigation, Oceanographic Measurement, Samples/Cores, Degree of Certainty: certain Continuous Data (in km): 0 Number of Stations Occupied: 0 Number of Submersible Dives: 0 Science Strategy: Ecosystems;Hazards;Human Health; Notes: Sampling the sediments for the cyst concentration was the primary objective of this cruise. Sampling was suspended and/or steaming slowed for about two days (~10/15 and 10/21) of the cruise due to high seas. Coring for erosion analysis was successfully carried out at six stations along the Massachusetts-New Hampshire-Maine-Canadian coast; however, due to time constraints cores were not be obtained in Jordan or Wilkenson Basin. This was the first time the GEMS system was used by USGS at sea. Submitted By: Brad Butman Report Date: 2010-11-04 Similar information is available for thousands of other USGS/CMG-related Activities.
