Geological Survey, Menlo Park, California. Chief Scientist:
Charlie Paull. Vibracoring data (vibracore) of field activity
P-2-07-MB in upper Monterey Canyon from 06/26/2007 to
06/28/2007,

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

Equipment Used -

vibracore

Notes -

MBARI's remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Ventana was used to obtain

vibracores. The ROV Ventana had a 14' aluminum core tube attached to the

vibracoring system in addition to the underwater cameras it typically carries.

The ROV Ventana is connected to the R/V Point Lobos by a surface slack cable

through which it communicates with pilots in the onboard control room.  The

cores were positioned relative to a Homer Beacon that was placed at (36.7931N,

121.8438 W) during the first dive and removed at the end of the third day of coring.

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.

If available, access to physical samples is
described in the "WR CMG Sample Distribution
Policy" at:
http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/programs/html/main/sample-dist-policy.html

Primary access to the USGS/CMG Information
Bank's digital data, analog data, and
metadata is provided through...
http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/

This page accomodates a variety of search
approaches (e.g., by platform, by region,
by scientist, by equipment type, etc.).
