Chief Scientists: Charlie Paul, MBARI, Bill Normark, USGS. Vibra-core sampling with the ROV Ventana data of field activity P-3-07-MB in Monterey Bay Sanctuary area from 10/15/2007 to 10/22/2007 Organization United States Geological Survey, Menlo Park, California Project/Theme Submarine Canyon Transport Processes Chief Scientist Charlie Paul Bill Normark Activity Type vibra-core sampling with the ROV Ventana Platform Point Lobos Area of Operation Monterey Bay Sanctuary area Location map Bounding Coordinates 37.00000 -122.50000    -121.75000 36.75000 Ports LEAVE Moss Landing ARRIVE Moss Landing Dates 10/15/2007 (JD 288) to 10/22/2007 (JD 295) Analog Materials No analog holdings. Index map Information Specialist Bill Normark Purpose The primary goal was to acquire an approximately 130-meter long transect of cores across the sediment waves in the Monterey Canyon floor at water depths of approximately 285 meters. Processing and analysis of these cores will be used to study the origin of the sediment waves. Information to be Derived Late Holocene history of sediment transport through the upper (~285 m water depth) Monterey Canyon Summary Will come later after cruise is completed Notes Bill Normark and Stanford graduate students. No impact on WCMG Full project name: Submarine Canyon Transport Processes and history of activity (under Turbidity currents Task of Urban Ocean) Associated field activities:   P-2-07-MB Got Help? For P-3-07-MB, we would appreciate any information on -- crew, information to be derived, equipment used, information specialist, publications, purpose, summary.
