Purpose
|
|
The primary MBARI objective of these dives was to determine the
|
|
recent sediment transport activity in each of these canyons with specific
|
|
attention to tracking DDT residues. In addition, the USGS project interests
|
|
were to determine which of the canyons, if any, show evidence for recent
|
|
transport of coarse sediment and to examine the stratigraphy of the canyon
|
|
walls on selected dives. Dive sites were based on MBARI and NOAA multibeam.
|
|
The intention was to collect vibracore and push core along transects across
|
|
the center of the axial channel and locally up the adjacent canyon walls.
|
|
|
Information to be Derived
|
|
Late Holocene history of sediment transport through the canyons of the Monterey
|
|
Bay Sanctuary area that are north and south of the Monterey Canyon and its
|
|
tributaries.
