Summary of Field Work: |
Comprehensively survey the western Alaskan continental slope using ship-board geophysical instruments (sub-bottom profiler, MBES) on RV Sikuliaq. Acquire complementary datasets (including sediment cores, and physical oceanography data) for processing and ground-truthing of the geophysical data. Combine new and existing datasets, define seismic facies and map sediment distribution along the western Alaskan margin. Relate the sedimentary architecture of the western Alaska margin in the Arctic Ocean to records of sea level and ocean currents. Collect samples and data that will subsequently support a dedicated, prolonged piston coring cruise and the development of an International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) proposal for scientific drilling on this margin. |
