Abstract:
United States Geological Survey, Woods Hole, Massachusetts. Chief Scientist: John Schlee. Geophysical data (bathymetry, gravity, magnetics) of field activity 71005 (U-5-71-AF) in Continental Margin Liberia from 10/30/1971 to 11/20/1971, <http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/u/u571af/html/u-5-71-af.meta.html>.
Purpose:
These data and information are intended for science researchers, students from elementary through college, policy makers, and general public.
Supplemental_Information:

Equipment Used -
