Description:
Abstract:
Chief Scientist: Gary Hill. Geophysical data (minisparker, gravitycore, Shipekgrab, bathymetry, underwatertelevision, miniranger) of field activity J-6-81-NC in Northern California from 08/04/1981 to 08/06/1981, <http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/j/j681nc/html/j-6-81-nc.meta.html>.
Purpose:
These data and information are intended for science researchers, students from elementary through college, policy makers, and general public.
Supplemental_Information:

Equipment Used -
minisparker
gravitycore
Shipekgrab
bathymetry
underwatertelevision
miniranger

Similar information is available for thousands of other USGS/CMG-related Activities.
If known, available are Activity-specific navigation, gravity, magnetics, bathymetry, seismic, and sampling data; track maps; and equipment information; as well as summary overviews, crew lists, and information about analog materials.
If available, access to physical samples is described in the "WR CMG Sample Distribution Policy" at: <http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/programs/html/main/sample-dist-policy.html>
Primary access to the USGS/CMG Information Bank's digital data, analog data, and metadata is provided through... <http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/>
This page accomodates a variety of search approaches (e.g., by platform, by region, by scientist, by equipment type, etc.).
