Purpose
|
|
STRATA FORmation on Margins (STRATAFORM)
|
|
was initiated in 1994 by the Office of Naval Research as a coordinated
|
|
multi-investigator study of continental-margin sediment transport
|
|
processes and stratigraphy. The program is investigating the stratigraphic
|
|
signature of the shelf and slope portions of continental margins, and
|
|
hopes to provide better understanding of the sedimentary record and
|
|
better prediction of strata.
|
|
The objective of the cruise was to execute a statistical
|
|
variability study of the area by collecting multiple samples at
|
|
individual locations. Emphasis was also placed on collecting several
|
|
deep water cores.
|
|
|
Information to be Derived
|
|
cores were analyzed using a multi-sensor core logger, yielding P-wave velocity, wet bulk density, and magnetic susceptibility data.
|
|
|
Summary
|
|
158 box cores and 58 piston cores.
