Trenches and short cores. Area of Operation Northwestern Sumatra, Indonesia Location map Bounding Coordinates 7.00000 93.00000     108.00000 -8.00000 Ports LEAVE Banda Aceh, Indonesia ARRIVE Banda Aceh, Indonesia Dates 11/04/2007 (JD 308) to 11/16/2007 (JD 320) Analog Materials No analog holdings. Index map Information Specialist Mark Buckley Crew Guy Gelfenbaum Peter Ruggiero Mark Buckley Equipment Used bathymetry pushcore GPS Purpose 1) complete the documentation of a benchmark data set for tsunami sedimentology; 2) quantify beach topographic and nearshore bathymetric profile adjustment to tsunami erosion, co-seismic subsidence, and subsequent rebound and recovery; and 3) initiate a study of tsunami sediment deposition taphonomy. Information to be Derived Topographic and bathymetric profiles, shoreline position, and detailed analysis of trenches and cores. Summary Topographic and bathymetric profile collection and tsunami deposit study at several locations along the northwest Sumatra coast previously studied in 2005. Notes Shore based and local vessels. Got Help? For S-1-07-IN, we would appreciate any information on -- crew, information to be derived, equipment used, information specialist, platform, publications, purpose, summary.
