View new CMGDS report form

Other ID: T-0904

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): Environmental Data: Dissolved Oxygen, Geochemical: Experiments (geochemical), Location-Elevation: Navigation, Imagery: Video, Sampling: Geology

Scientific Purpose/Goals: To deploy oxygen profiler and benthic chambers and collect 6 cores from Station 7 (in Cape Cod Bay SW of Provincetown). The slow corer will be used in the gravity mode and the piston mode.

Vehicle(s):

Start Port/Location: Woods Hole, MA

End Port/Location: Woods Hole, MA

Start Date: 2004-09-08

End Date: 2004-09-08

Equipment Used: Oxygen profiling system from Sayles, Benthic Chambers, GPS (wh), Video camera - deep sea, Slow corer

Information to be Derived: Samples and chemical analysis; Grain size analysis;

Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Deployed oxygen profiler and two benthic chambers, and collected 6 cores from Station 7 (in Cape Cod Bay SW of Provincetown). The slow corer was used in the gravity mode and the piston mode.
