Purpose
|
|
Geologic mapping of inner shelf to 1] support management of
|
|
habitat and ocean resources, 2] clarify the post-glacial history
|
|
of sea-level change in the region, and 3] reconstruct coastal
|
|
environments and quantify rates of change over the last few thousand
|
|
years

Summary
|
|
We collected 100% coverage of seafloor with bathymetry
|
|
and sidescan-sonar data (total mapped area 277 km2), and
|
|
approximately 2340 km of closely spaced seismic-reflection profiles.
|
|
Cruise focused on nearshore areas in water depths of 5-50 m, mostly
|
|
inside state waters. Intermittent problems with GPS reception
|
|
caused numerous shutdowns, especially during first 10 days of
|
|
cruise. Cause is uncertain but we suspect jamming by radar or other
|
|
external source. Gear snagged many lobster pots, which are VERY
|
|
thick in the survey area. See cruise log for details.

Got Help?
|
For 06012, we would appreciate any information on -- activity type, analog materials, 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.
