Data Type(s): Environmental Data: CTD, Imagery: Photo, Location-Elevation: Navigation, Sampling: Biology, Sampling: Geology, Seismics: Multichannel, Sonar: Single Beam
Scientific Purpose/Goals: Sea floor mapping (using multibeam sonar and deep-towed camera) and sampling (by dredge and trawl) of fossil and live cold-water corals for paleo-oceanographic and ecological studies.
Vehicle(s):
Start Port/Location: Punta Arenas, Chile
End Port/Location: Punta Arenas, Chile
Start Date: 2008-04-18
End Date: 2008-05-25
Equipment Used: Echosounder, Camera- deep sea, Grab sampler, CTD 19+ with OBS, PAR, DO, Chl, Digital camera, GPS (wh), Multichannel seismics
Information to be Derived:
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Multibeam bathymetry was collected continuously. 6 TOWCAM transects completed. 3 CTDs completed. 51 trawls and dredges deployed and rocks, corals, and other animals photographed and preserved. See bound cruise report for more information.

Notes: All multibeam and photographic data and fossil coral specimens will be archived at WHOI. Modern coral specimens will be archived at University of Hawaii. A separate scientific party from the University of Texas shared the shiptime. They collected multibeam bathymetry, underway magnetics and multichannel seismics and dredged rock samples. Those data are not part of this project and are archived at Univ. of Texas (PIs: Ian Dalziel and Larry Lawver). Original Center People field contained: Kathy Scanlon (co-PI, Geologist); Dann Blackwood (Photographer).
