Field Activity 00SCC03

Identifier 00SCC03
Alternate names G-3-00-LA
Purpose Characterization of the Geological Framework, Mapping sediment distribution, and locating offshore sand resources.
Location Barataria Basin, Northern Gulf of Mexico - Louisiana
Summary Summary and evaluation of data is reference in U.S. Geological Survey Open File Report 01-384 of September 2000. Open File Report 01-384
Info derived Vibracores used to derive high-resolution sedimentation distribution and thickness; to locate sand deposits to be used in Louisiana beach renourishment projects.
Comments These FACS logs were generated by Chandra Dreher in June of 2003, using the handwritten logbooks and personal accounts of the scientist and crew members. This cruise 00SCC03 contains vibracore samples BSS00-65 through BSS00-141 of the 227 vibracores collected during this project.
