- Title: City and Golden Gate from 05/13/1977 to 05/28/1977
- Abstract:
-
Chief Scientist: Dave McCulloch. Geophysical data (uniboom,
sparker, depthsounder, magnetics, Kleinsidescan,
vibratingcore, miniranger) of field activity W-1-77-NC in
offshore Daly City and Golden Gate from 05/13/1977 to
05/28/1977,

Notes -
Woodward Clyde Consultants collected seismic data and samples.
Dave McCulloch looked at the seismic. Ed Clifton and John Chin and
Gretchen Luepke worked on the sediments. Ed Clifton asked a Spanish
student? to look at the seismic data, but he was unable to do anything
with the stratigraphy. John has only looked at 4-5 of the seismic
lines, does not know what McCulloch did (or published) with his
analyses. John gave Gretchen all of his materials directly before
the move. On one occasion, he gave her 6-7 binders of the WWC report.
Then he gave her a box with his notes, xrays, and overlays, etc.,
from the Chin/Clifton work. He also told Gretchen to deal with the
cores and materials. (NB: Becky got 3 preliminary reports from
Gretchen on/about 7/20. Becky later got a large stack of reports).
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>
