Trait. Geological data (Kleinsidescan, Geopulse, GPS, bathymetry) of field activity J-1-94-MB in Nearshore area of the North-central California Coast from 02/28/1994 to 03/11/1994 National Plan Resource, Environment Chief Scientist Roberto Anima J.F. Trait Activity Type Geological Platform David Johnston Area of Operation Nearshore area of the North-central California Coast Location map Bounding Coordinates 37.62242 -122.56220    -121.99521 36.91732 Dates 02/28/1994 (JD 059) to 03/11/1994 (JD 070) Analog Materials list Index map Crew Roberto Anima Chief Scientist, USGS Western Region J. F. Trait Chief Scientist Equipment Used Kleinsidescan Geopulse GPS bathymetry Purpose Three goals: 1. Image the coastal nearshore to determine areas of rock outcorps and depositional sites for sand using side-scanning sonar; 2. Image the thickness of the sediment accumulation over bedrock using high-resolution geophysical profiling; 3. Gather bathymetric profiling data to be used both for geophysical record interpretation and for mapping of the nearshore areas previously unmapped in detail by personnel of Pacific Marine Geology. Summary High-resolution Geophysical and side-scan sonar surveys along the 40 meter contour between Pt. Santa Cruz to Rockaway Beach. The cruise was a complete success. All sought after goals were met with excellent results from all systems used.

Only the geopulse data has not been entered into the database and only because time has been scarce. Got Help? For J-1-94-MB, we would appreciate any information on -- contract, days at sea, dive count, funding, information specialist, information to be derived, kms of navigation, NGDC Info, organization, owner, ports, project, project number, publications, scanned materials, seismic description, station count, station description, submersible, tabulated info.
