USGS-NOAA COOP CRUISE A-OK
For the third consecutive year the Prince William Sound oil spill team has
had a very successful "piggy-back" cruise on the NOAA ship RAINIER. We
again were able to search several beaches and found both old tar ('64 quake-
Monterey tar) and oil (EXXON VALDEZ spill of North Slope crude); however, this
year we added another aspect to our search. Fran Hostettler, Keith Kvenvolden,
and Paul Carlson joined the RAINIER in Seattle, enjoyed the scenic trip up the
inside passage, and then began bottom sampling on the shelf between Cross
Sound and PWS. We are testing EXXON's hypothesis that much of the
background hydrocarbon in the PWS sediment came from oil seeps near the
shoreline of the Gulf of Alaska and was carried along attached to particles of
suspended glacial flour by the Alaskan Coastal Current and into PWS. We
collected samples at nine stations, and now the jury is out until the organic
geochem team can obtain lab results. We all are very appreciative to the folks
from the RAINIER for their great hospitality and willing assistance on this
trip. We give Fran (that is Hostettler, not Hurricane Fran) all the credit for
the marvelous weather she brought along on her first trip to Alaska. : Paul
Carlson.
