Geological data (navigation) of field activity M-1-94-AR in Beaufort Sea, Alaska from 00/00/1994 to 00/00/1994 National Plan global change Chief Scientist Keith Kvenvolden Activity Type Geological Platform Annika Marie Area of Operation Beaufort Sea, Alaska, Arctic Ocean Location map Bounding Coordinates 72.75000 -157.75000    -138.25000 68.25000 Dates 00/00/1994 (JD 000) to 00/00/1994 (JD 000) Analog Materials No analog holdings. Index map Crew Keith Kvenvolden Chief Scientist, USGS Western Region Equipment Used navigation Purpose Part of the continuing project to assess the content of methane in continental shelf waters of the Alaskan Beaufort Sea. We are looking for evidence for methane release from destabilized gas hydrate. Summary Fifteen stations were occupied and 48 water samples were analyzed for methane. Our results hint at a methane anomaly at stations near the 20m isobath. Notes (from USGS Bulletin 9/2/94) Keith Kvenvolden, Tom Lorenson, and Marv Lilley (University of Washington) returned from a week's cruise on the Annika Marie. Got Help? For M-1-94-AR, we would appreciate any information on -- analog materials, contract, days at sea, dive count, funding, information specialist, information to be derived, kms of navigation, NGDC Info, organization, owner, ports, project, project number, publications, scanned materials, seismic description, station count, station description, submersible, tabulated info.
