Equipment Used: Single channel hydrophone, Del Norte 26 sparker, Push corer (wh), Motorola Falcon IV Microwave relay Mini-Ranger
Information to be Derived: Morphology;
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: High-resolution seismic data averaged 150 m penetration and was excellent quality because of good sea state. Del Norte Minisparker: 700 km; Stations: 6; Diver Cores: 6.
