Geological and Geophysical data of field activity K-1-79-AR
in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, Arctic Ocean from 07/23/1979 to
08/20/1979
- Abstract:
-
United States Geological Survey, Menlo Park, California.
Chief Scientist: Peter Barnes. Geological and Geophysical
data (bathymetry, meters, navigation) of field activity
K-1-79-AR in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, Arctic Ocean from
07/23/1979 to 08/20/1979,
<http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/k/k179ar/html/k-1-79-ar.meta.html>.
- Supplemental_Information:
-
Equipment Used -
bathymetry data directory exists
meters data directory exists
navigation data directory exists
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...
