Detailed Description

The center conducted a multibeam echosounder, chirp, and multichannel seismic survey and slow coring effort to support a continuing project investigating stratigraphy and mudflow hazards along the Mississippi River Delta Front. Data were collected between Southwest and South Passes in water depths between 20 and over 300 meters. The center’s new multicorer was successfully operated during this fieldwork.
