Notes -
We plan on going to additional sites in California
later this year and next year . Sat., Oct 22: travel day to Cayucos
(overnight in Cayucos), Sun, Oct 23, Morro Bay State Parks marshes
(overnight in Cayucos), Mon, Oct 24, Morro Bay
Audubon preserve (overnight in Cayucos).
Note: Audubon access restricted to Mondays and Wednesdays,
Note: the low tides for Oct 23 and 24 are in the afternoon, so a visit to
Avila Beach to confer with the golf course manager could happen during the
morning of either day.,
Tues, Oct 25, Carmel River (travel from Cayucos in morning, field work in
afternoon) ,
Wed., Oct 26, Pillar Point (no tide constraints; start work early to be able to spend as much time as possible.
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:
