Information Specialist
David Finlayson
Equipment Used
SEA Swath Interferometer
CHIRP seismic reflection (profiler)
Purpose 
To map seafloor bathymetry/morphology and collect CHIRP seismic reflection 
profile data to characterize delta-bay habitats, sediment thickness, sediment 
facies, and recent change in sedimentation history
Information to be Derived 
Seafloor bathymetry and acoustic backscatter to characterize benthic morphology 
and habitats; CHIRP seismic reflection profile data to quantify sediment 
thickness, sediment facies, and recent sedimentation history
Notes 
USGS Coastal Habitats in Puget Sound Large River Deltas.
