Palmer Area of Operation Ross Sea, Antarctica Location map Bounding Coordinates -10.25000 165.25000    -149.75000 -89.75000 Dates 12/27/1994 (JD 361) to 02/05/1995 (JD 036) Analog Materials No analog holdings. Index map Crew Guy Cochrane Chief Scientist, USGS Western Region Equipment Used sonobuoy Purpose To collect 10 meter resolution seismic data and piston cores in the Paleogene and Neogene section in the Eastern Basin to improve our understanding of the relationship between the timing of the Antarctic Cenozoic glacial, glacio-eustatic, and global climatic events. Summary Collected 46 refraction records at 27 sites on the Ross Sea continental shelf of Antarctica Notes (from USGS Bulletin, 1/20/95) A multi-institutional group. Guy is collecting sonobouy seimic- refraction data in conjunction with the high-resolution reflection data collection in order to help identify areas of outcropping older sediment and improve his models of ice-loading related sediment over consolidation. The sonobouys displayed a 50% failure rate but are deployed two at a time successfully. Got Help?
