Chief Scientist: Jim Gardner. Geophysical data (multibeam, GPS, motionsensor, CTDmeter, acousticbackscatter) of field activity O-1-02-GM in Northwest Gulf of Mexico from 06/08/2002 to 06/28/2002 Organization University of New Brunswick United States Geological Survey, Menlo Park, California C&C Technologies Project/Theme Pacific Seafloor Mapping Project Chief Scientist Jim Gardner Activity Type Geophysical Platform Ocean Surveyor Area of Operation Northwest Gulf of Mexico Location map Bounding Coordinates 28.36667 -94.33333     -91.55000 27.78333 Ports leave Iberia, LA arrive Iberia, LA Dates 06/08/2002 (JD 159) to 06/28/2002 (JD 179) Analog Materials No analog holdings.

These data should prove extremely useful in relating dominant species groups (which display highly specific biotope affinities) to the geomorphology (e.g., reef flattop, forereef crest, reef wall, reef base, circum-reef talus zone, circum-reef, high-reflectivity sediment apron, etc.). Information to be Derived Bathymetry and calibrated, co-registered acoustic backscatter Notes For raw and intermediate data sets, contact Rani Nandiwada Publications Beaudoin, J.D., Gardner, J.V., and Hughes Clarke, J.E., 2002, RV Ocean Surveyor Cruise O1-02-GM Bathymetry and Acoustic Backscatter of Seleceted areas of the Outer Continental Shelf, Northwestern Gulf of Mexico, available on-line at: http://geopubs.wr.usgs.gov/open-file/of02-410 National Seafloor Mapping and Benthic Habitat Studies, NW Gulf of Mexico, 2006, U.S. Geological Survey, Western Coastal and Marine Geology   <http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/pacmaps/wg-index.html> Got Help? For O-1-02-GM, we would appreciate any information on -- analog materials, contract, days at sea, dive count, funding, kms of navigation, national plan, NGDC Info, owner, project number, scanned materials, seismic description, station count, station description, submersible, summary, tabulated info.
