Palos Verdes
Camera Survey of the Palos Verdes Shelf and Slope
Map showing camera tracklines
During May 1992, a seafloor camera-sled survey was conducted on parts of the Palos Verdes continental margin to image the surficial character of effluent-affected sediment deposited on the seafloor near the White's Point outfall. A black-and-white silicon-intensified target (SIT) video camera, two Hi-8 mm color video camcorders, and a 35 mm film camera were used to conduct this survey.
The images show:
- evidence of pervasive disruption of the bed by biogenic activity throughout the study area
- physical reworking in water depths less than 51 meters
- mass-wasting processes on the mainland slope
