Description
Leg I focused on biological objectives in Norfolk Canyon, with
some sampling in Baltimore Canyon. Leg II focused on archaeological targets in
and around the Norfolk Canyon area, with some emphasis on biological objectives
to expand upon data collected during last years cruise. 24-hour operations
included 12-16 hour remotely operated vehicle (ROV) dives which took digital
images and high definition video of the seafloor and collect water, sediment,
and different types of fauna for research objectives during the day. Night
operations included non-ROV sampling, including box coring, bottom trawling,
recovery of benthic landers, multibeam mapping, collection of water column
environmental data, and water sampling (using a CTD instrument with niskin
bottle rosette). Data expected: Scientific Computing System (SCS) data, ROV
sensor data, Underwater video/framegrab images, sampling logs/analyses, CTD
data, summary reports
