Summary of Field Work: |
The major objective of this proposal is to set up
long (6--10 m) vibrocoring capability on the Endeavor to compliment the
shallow water (continental shelf depths) geophysical survey (simultaneous swath bathymetry, side--scan sonar, and subbottom sonar)
that King and collaborators have previously installed on the Endeavor.
Having this coring tool available to do ground--truth studies of
subbottom profiles will allow scientists to attack a range of problems on
the continental shelf.
Two general scientific objectives that are currently supported by grants
from BOEM are proposed for this cruise. They are: (1) to obtain a suite
of cores from the "Mud Hole" that will be utilized for a Holocene/Late
Glacial paleoenvironmental reconstruction of an area that may have
been inhabited by the ancestors of the Narragansett Tribe prior to sea level rise; and (2) identify, characterize, and inventory offshore sand
deposits that may be needed for future beach replenishment projects
along the south coast of RI. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
We plan to use a Rossfelder P-3 vibrocorer and a subbottom sonar system that PI King owns. |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
none. |
