Field Activity 08CCT02

Identifier 08CCT02
Purpose To create a complete modern topobathymetric map of the Mississippi barrier islands from Cat Island to Dauphin Island. Data to provide information for the following: sediment budget; assessment of immediate sand resources in the region, modern geologic framework; historical island change measurements; base-level assessment of the seafloor since the 2005 hurricane season
Location Ship and Horn Island, MS
Info derived High precision single beam bathymetry (X, Y, Z), Submetrix swath bathymetry data; subbotom image profiles, high precision (X, Y, Z) shoreline topography.
Comments Additional Equipment: portable GPS topographic survey buggy. Platform: R/V Survey Cat.
Platform
Glacier Bay Cat Boat
Aka RV Survey Cat or Cat Boat
