Geological data of field activity K-1-83-CS in Chukchi Sea,
Alaska from 09/15/1983 to 09/20/1983
- Abstract:
-
Chief Scientists: Art Grantz, Dave Dinter. Geological data
(drillcore, pistoncore, penetrometer, vaneshear) of field
activity K-1-83-CS in Chukchi Sea, Alaska from 09/15/1983 to
09/20/1983,
<http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/k/k183cs/html/k-1-83-cs.meta.html>.
- Supplemental_Information:
-
Equipment Used -
drillcore Christensen core barrel, Fugro offshore drilling rig
pistoncore Shelby tubes (thin-walled metal tubes); split barrel samplers (split spoons - thick walled metal tubes); "O" samplers (split spoon with a liner)
penetrometer pocket
vaneshear Torvane
Notes -
DD7 (30)-83 age consistent with USGS - 7, and boring location 7 in OFR 85-23.
<br />
DD5 age consistent with borings 5 and 6, but possibly also borings 2,3 and 4 in OFR 85-23.

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:
