Porewater chloride and sulfate concentrations from piston and gravity cores collected in September 2019 offshore of south-central California (USGS FAN 2019-642-FA)

Description

This dataset includes concentrations chloride and sulfate in porewater from piston and gravity cores collected in September 2019 offshore of south-central California aboard the R/V Bold Horizon. This dataset is one of several collected as part of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM)-funded California Deepwater Investigations and Groundtruthing (Cal DIG I) project. The purpose of the study is to assess shallow geohazards, benthic habitats, and thereby the potential for alternative energy infrastructure (namely floating wind turbines) offshore south-central California due to its proximity to power grid infrastructure associated with the Morro Bay power plant. These core data provide information about the geology of the seafloor and shallow subsurface offshore of the south-central California coast.
