Chief Scientist: Roberto Anima. Geophysical data
(sidescansonar, GPS, underwatertelevision, VanVeengrab) of
field activity J-6-96-MB in Monterey Bay, California from
09/30/1996 to 10/16/1996,
http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/j/j696mb/html/j-6-96-mb.meta.html.

<purpose>
These data and information are intended for science
researchers, students from elementary through
college, policy makers, and general public.
</purpose>
<supplinf>
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 &quot;WR CMG Sample Distribution
Policy&quot; at:
http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/programs/html/main/sample-dist-policy.html

Primary access to the USGS/CMG Information
Bank&apos;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.).
