Chief Scientists: Mike Bothner, Bill Martin, WHOI. Data (Camera-B/W video, Scuba, Pole corer) of field activity 06028 (R-1-06-BH) in Hingham Bay, Boston Harbor, Massachusetts, United States,North America, North Atlantic from 10/11/2006 to 10/11/2006, http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/r/r106bh/html/r-1-06-bh.meta.html. These data and information are intended for science researchers, students from elementary through college, policy makers, and general public. Equipment Used - Camera-B/W video Scuba Pole corer diver operated push core barrels. Notes - Rafael was launched near Hingham on October 10 and be tied up overnight at a floating dock next to the Ferry Boat dock. The pole core was tried twice without satisfactory results. For pole cores we restricted penetration to about 30 cm to fit the sediment core into the erosion chamber. This did not penetrate firm enough sediment to make a plug of mud at the bottom of the core (the surface had very high water content). The sample partially fell out of the bottom of barrel before we could get the piston into the barrel just below the sea surface using Dann s long arm. The push corer worked ok in Falmouth Harbor sediments with a barrel pushed into maximum sediment depth. 1 days at sea. The divers collected the required samples with excellent quality and in a short amount of time. We used a kayak to make a 3-point mooring which was very effective in holding the boat on location. This gave us perfect conditions to test the pole corer in these sediments with poor results as described below. 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.
