Ground truth the area previously

covered by side-scan sonar and seismic reflection profiling.

|
Notes
|
|
Monterey Bay Marine Santuary Nearshore Studies--Rough
|
|
seas and stormy weather kept the intended cruise of two weeks
|
|
in port for all but five days. During the first three days of
|
|
operations underwater video footage was collected in the
|
|
vicinity of Ano Nuevo and Scotts Creek. The video shows a
|
|
striking difference in outcrop types and textural variation
|
|
in sediment type across the nearshore shelf area. Bad weather
|
|
forced the last two days of operations to place two week
|
|
after the initial startup time. Roberto Anima, Jim Tait,
|
|
Peter Galanis, Marge Medrano, Intern student Betsy Cooper,
|
|
and UCSC Graduate Students Curt Storlazzi, and Deirdre Scholar,
|
|
and Undergraduate Yvonne Rodriguez report they, with the
|
|
support from Mike Boyle and Gordon Smith (skipper), were able
|
|
to collect excellent video coverage and sediment samples
|
|
of six areas covered. The MBMS nearshore studies has compiled
|
|
an emense data base of side scan sonar and seismic reflection
|
|
records that has undergone preliminary mapping and
|
|
interpretation. The purpose of this cruise was to ground truth
|
|
the mapping and interpretation with underwater video and
|
|
grab sampling. Aside from the unfortunate weather problems
|
|
the days worked proved fruitful. More of the same
|
|
information needs to be collected in the sites not occupied
|
|
during this cruise. - R.Anima
