Description:
Abstract:
United States Geological Survey, Woods Hole, Massachusetts.
Chief Scientists: Jason Chaytor, Uri ten Brink. Coring data
(Giant Gravity Corer, 3.5 kHz echosounder) of field activity
08008 (J-1-08-PR) in Mona Canyon, Puerto Rico Trench, Puerto
Rico, the Virgin Islands, Virgin Islands Basin, and Whiting
Basin, United States, northeast Caribbean, North Atlantic
from 03/16/2008 to 03/24/2008,
http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/j/j108pr/html/j-1-08-pr.meta.html.
Purpose:
These data and information are intended for science
researchers, students from elementary through
college, policy makers, and general public.
Supplemental_Information:
Equipment Used -
Giant Gravity Corer WHOI
3.5 kHz echosounder
Notes -
Navigation technique: DGPS.
9 days at sea.
40 stations occupied.
The objective of this coring cruise is to determine the age
of several significant slope failures and seismite layers around
Puerto Rico in an effort to constrain the temporal distribution of
large slope failures and earthquakes. Large landslide and
earthquake events in close proximity to Puerto Rico and the U.S.
Virgin Islands are believed to have triggered numerous tsunami,
which have caused significant damage to coastal communities in the
region. By better constraining the temporal occurrence of such
large tsunami source mechanisms, we hope to gain a better
understanding of the recurrence interval and size of future
landslides, thereby providing valuable input into tsunami hazard
models for the region. This project is a collaborative effort
between WHOI and the USGS Woods Hole Science Center. In order to do
this, we aim to collect 30-40 cores from offshore Puerto Rico (Mona
Canyon, north slope and Puerto Rico trench, and the Virgin Island
and Whiting Basins) that intersect landslide or seismite deposits so
as to be able to date the penultimate and potentially older
landslide and/or earthquake events.
