Equipment Used
|
|
|
Purpose
|
|
The cruise was split to reflect two different
|
|
operations: use the ROV to collect samples from submarine canyons (part 1)
|
|
and then to deploy cable for the sea floor observatory taking a few additional
|
|
vibracore samples near the observatory (part 2). A brief port stop on 02 Nov
|
|
(JD306) for personnel transfers.
|
|
|
Information to be Derived
|
|
Continue a sampling program to look at sediment
|
|
transport in smaller canyons south of Pt. Sur, e.g., Sur, Partington, Lucia,
|
|
and Little Lucia Canyons. Obtain additional samples to evaluate the recent
|
|
history of sediment transport through Monterey Canyon in the area of the
|
|
Shepard Meander. This is a continuation of earlier collaborative work with
|
|
MBARI scientists.

Notes
|
|
(1) Station IDs reflect the Tiburon dive numbers set by MBARI.
|
|
|
(2) Sample numbers for the push cores are generally not consecutive but
|
|
reflect permanent labels on coring and other devices that are randomly chosen
|
|
before each dive, and many of the push cores are reused in later dives. USGS
|
|
sample protocol could not used during dives except for the Activity ID (W-1-05-SC).
|
|
|
(3) Sample numbers recorded in FACS reflect only those samples that will be
|
|
brought to the USGS for logging, description, and, in most cases, archiving.

|
Got Help?
|
For W-4-06-MB, we would appreciate any information on -- contract, days at sea, dive count, funding, kms of navigation, national plan, NGDC Info, owner, project number, publications, scanned materials, seismic description, station count, station description, submersible, tabulated info.
