Equipment Used -
vibracore
Notes -
MBARI's remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Ventana was used to obtain
vibracores. The ROV Ventana had a 14' aluminum core tube attached to the
vibracoring system in addition to the underwater cameras it typically carries.
The ROV Ventana is connected to the R/V Point Lobos by a surface slack cable
through which it communicates with pilots in the onboard control room. The
cores were positioned relative to a Homer Beacon that was placed at (36.7931N,
121.8438 W) during the first dive and removed at the end of the third day of coring.
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:
<http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/programs/html/main/sample-dist-policy.html>
