Purpose
|
|
The primary goal was to acquire an approximately 130-meter long
|
|
transect of cores across the sediment waves in the Monterey Canyon floor at
|
|
water depths of approximately 285 meters. Processing and analysis of these
|
|
cores will be used to study the origin of the sediment waves.
|
|
|
Information to be Derived
|
|
Late Holocene history of sediment transport through the upper (~285 m water
|
|
depth) Monterey Canyon
|
|
|
Summary
|
|
Will come later after cruise is completed
