Summary of Field Work: |
32 day port-to-port field work in the northern Galapagos region including 10-days of MR1 sidescan sonary surveying and simultaneous EM300 multibeam bathymetry and BGM-3 gravimeter surveys. Remaining time will be spent conducing dredge sampling and TowCam surveys of volcanic and structural seafloor features.
Requires Ecuadorian clearance and Galapagos National Park clearances. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
R/V T. Thompson with EM300 multibeam
U. Hawaii MR1 sidescan sonar system and support personnel
WHOI TowCam
WHOI BGM-3 gravimeter system installed on Thompson
6- SIO style rock dredges- complete with weak links, chain bags and fish net liners
2- 12 KHz pingers and trawl wire clamps
CTD - 0.322 coax cable and winch for use with TowCam system
shipboard rock saw and supplies |
