Summary of Field Work: |
The USGS will be leading high-resolution marine geophysical surveys of the Palos Verdes Shelf and Slope, offshore Los Angeles. Surveys will be entirely in federal waters and will involve 24-hour operations for approximately 8 days. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
Require a capable regional class vessel and nearby port for equipment mobilization and demobilization. SIO's Sproul would be ideal. The USGS will be providing the geophysical equipment and staffing needed to operate the equipment. We will need some technical support in port during mobilizaiton and demobilization. Access to fork lifts, cranes, vessel hydraulics and electrical systems. |
