Other ID: none

Status: Completed

Organization(s): USGS, Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center

Funding Program(s):

Principal Investigator(s): Michael Bothner

Affiliate Investigator(s): Bill Martin, WHOI

Information Specialist(s): PARTNER

Data Type(s): Geochemical: Experiments (geochemical), Imagery: Photo, Imagery: Video, Location-Elevation: Navigation

Scientific Purpose/Goals: On May 2, deployed 2 benthic chambers. On May 8 the chambers were recovered. Six diver push cores were collected.

Vehicle(s):

Start Port/Location: Hingham Harbor, MA

End Port/Location: Hingham Harbor, MA

Start Date: 2002-05-02

End Date: 2002-05-08

Equipment Used: Benthic Chambers, Video camera - deep sea, Digital camera, GPS (wh)

Information to be Derived: Samples and chemical analysis; Morphology;

Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Chambers deployed and recovered. Cores taken. Both chambers came up using release. Used blue vent plugs on core caps for first time: they worked well.
