Equipment Used
|
|
|
Purpose
|
The cruise was split to reflect two different
operations: use the ROV to collect samples from submarine canyons (part 1)
and then to deploy cable for the sea floor observatory taking a few additional
vibracore samples near the observatory (part 2). A brief port stop on 02 Nov
(JD306) for personnel transfers.
|
|
|
Information to be Derived
|
Continue a sampling program to look at sediment
transport in smaller canyons south of Pt. Sur, e.g., Sur, Partington, Lucia,
and Little Lucia Canyons. Obtain additional samples to evaluate the recent
history of sediment transport through Monterey Canyon in the area of the
Shepard Meander. This is a continuation of earlier collaborative work with
MBARI scientists.

Notes
|
(1) Station IDs reflect the Tiburon dive numbers set by MBARI.
(2) Sample numbers for the push cores are generally not consecutive but
reflect permanent labels on coring and other devices that are randomly chosen
before each dive, and many of the push cores are reused in later dives. USGS
sample protocol could not used during dives except for the Activity ID (W-1-05-SC).
(3) Sample numbers recorded in FACS reflect only those samples that will be
brought to the USGS for logging, description, and, in most cases, archiving.

Got Help?
|
For W-4-06-MB, we would appreciate any information on -- contract, days at sea, dive count, funding, kms of navigation, national plan, NGDC Info, owner, project number, publications, scanned materials, seismic description, station count, station description, submersible, tabulated info.
