Equipment Used
boomer

Chirp
sidescansonar
pcode
navigation
bathymetry
vibratingcore
Purpose
To evaluate the storage and transport of particle reactive, environmentally relevant contaminates through the Mississippi River and Atchafalaya River delta complexes to the near-shore Gulf of Mexico.
Summary
Collected 10 single-channel boomer seismic lines along
with 6 chirp lines in the Mississippi River Delta. Collected 5 boomer
seismic-lines along with 5 chirp lines in the Atchafalaya River Delta.
also 7 vibracore samples were taken from the Atchafalaya Delta.
