Chief Scientists: Bruce Richmond, Bob Morton, Bruce Jaffe, Guy Gelfenbaum. Field investigation data (GPS, kitecam, topographic profiling) of field activity L-4-08-HW in Volcano National Park, Hawaii from 08/27/2008 to 09/09/2008 Organization United States Geological Survey, Menlo Park, California United States Geological Survey, Pacific Science Center Project/Theme Tsunami Hazard Potential in the Caribbean Chief Scientist Bruce Richmond Bob Morton Bruce Jaffe Guy Gelfenbaum Activity Type Field investigation Area of Operation Volcano National Park, Hawaii, Hawaii Location map Bounding Coordinates 19.75000 -156.75000    -154.25000 18.55000 Ports LEAVE Hilo, Hawaii ARRIVE Hilo, Hawaii Dates 08/27/2008 (JD 240) to 09/09/2008 (JD 253) Analog Materials No analog holdings. Index map Information Specialist Mark Buckley Steve Watt Equipment Used GPS kitecam topographic profiling Purpose Coarse clast tsunami and storm deposit investigation. Add to coarse clast tsunami and storm deposit database. Information to be Derived Topographic profiles, georectified aerial images, coarse clast database Summary Documented characteristics of tsunami and storm coarse clast (boulder) deposits at 5 sites from Keahou to Apua Point in SE Hawaii. This coast was impacted by the 1975 Halape tsunami, 1868 tsunami, and possibly earlier tsunamis. Storms also impact the area. Data gathered includes topographic profiles, georectified aerial images, and coarse clast dimensions and orientations. Notes Gerry Hatcher aerial camera system preparation Got Help? For L-4-08-HW, we would appreciate any information on -- analog materials, contract, crew, days at sea, dive count, funding, kms of navigation, national plan, NGDC Info, owner, platform, project number, publications, scanned materials, seismic description, station count, station description, submersible, tabulated info.
