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.
|
|
|
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
|
|
148 box cores, 5 piston cores, and 10 Kasten cores, along with 10 CTD
|
|
casts.

Got Help?
|
For W-3-95-NC, we would appreciate any information on -- contract, days at sea, dive count, funding, kms of navigation, national plan, NGDC Info, notes, organization, owner, ports, project number, scanned materials, seismic description, station count, station description, submersible, tabulated info.
