Identifier K190GB
Alternate names K-1-90-GB
Description Chief Scientist: Paul Carlson. Geophysical data (sidescansonar, gravity, 7khz, 3dot5khz) of field activity K-1-90-GB in Glacier Bay, Alaska from 06/14/1990 to 06/24/1990
Location Alaska
Summary 10 days in glacier bay, 3 days on the Karluk, 7 days on the Nunatak. A phantom ROV was deployed from the Nunatak, looking at glacial discharge streams and morainal banks of tidewater glaciers. The Klein side-scan sonar from the Karluk was used imaging gulleys and chutes on a pro-delta face in Queen Inlet and ice gouges on the moraine at the mouth of Muir Inlet.
