Chief Scientist: Jim Gardner. Geophysical data (multibeam, multibeam, motionsensor, CTDmeter) of field activity R-1-01-WA in Southern Puget Sound, Washington from 03/19/2001 to 03/30/2001 Organization United States Geological Survey, Menlo Park, California National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Project/Theme Pacific Seafloor Mapping Project Chief Scientist Jim Gardner Activity Type Geophysical Platform Rainier Area of Operation Southern Puget Sound, Washington Location map Bounding Coordinates 47.63000 -122.77500    -122.33000 47.09500 Ports leave Seattle, WA arrive Seattle, WA Dates 03/19/2001 (JD 078) to 03/30/2001 (JD 089) Analog Materials No analog holdings. Index map Information Specialist Peter Dartnell Crew Jim Gardner Chief Scientist, USGS Western Region Equipment Used multibeam multibeam motionsensor CTDmeter Purpose Cruise R1-01-WA of the NOAA ship Rainier was a joint cruise of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to investigate how the three major deltas in southern Puget Sound faired during the magnitude 6.8 Nisqually earthquake of February 28, 2001. Information to be Derived Bathymetry Summary Collected high-resolution bathymetry of the Duwamish River Delta, the Puyallup River Delta, and the Nisqually River Delta.
