Grant. Chief Scientists: Guy Gelfenbaum, Jon Warrick. Collect
beach topography and nearshore bathymetry data at the Elwha
River delta data of field activity W-05-12-PS in Elwha River
Delta from 08/28/2012 to 08/30/2012,

Notes -
rawdata exists offline at:
/rawdata1/2012/W-05-12-PS/bath/ew12_aug_frontier and
/rawdata1/2012/W-05-12-PS/bath/ew12_aug_sdo
Similar information is available for thousands
of other USGS/CMG-related Activities.
If known, available are Activity-specific
navigation, gravity, magnetics, bathymetry,
seismic, and sampling data; track maps; and
equipment information; as well as summary
overviews, crew lists, and information
about analog materials.
If available, access to physical samples is
described in the "WR CMG Sample Distribution
Policy" at:
<http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/programs/html/main/sample-dist-policy.html>
Primary access to the USGS/CMG Information
Bank's digital data, analog data, and
metadata is provided through...
