Purpose
|
Studies of sedimentation processes in submarine canyon and sediment

Summary
|
Four Alvin dives into the lower Hudson Canyon were made as part of
|
a Woods Hole program sponsored by the Office of Naval Research. Data was
|
obtained on sedimentation patterns, currents, and benthic faunal types and
|
activities at water depths between 2,800 and 3,400 m.
