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
