Operations Area |
| Lat/Lon: 39° 17.0′ N / 72° 11.0′ W |
| Depth Range: 500 / 2500 |
| Will the vessel be operating within 200 NM of a foreign country? | no |
Science Objectives |
| Overall objective is to test revision to Jumbo Piston Corer handling system at a location where the expected cores will be useful for paleoclimate work and where the water is shallow enough that we will not be wasting "wire" time. |
Science Activities |
| Multicore, gravity core, and piston core several locations along the western flank of Hudson Canyon at a range of water depths between 500 and 2500 m. We will also test rigging the piston corer as a heavy, large diameter gravity corer at continental shelf locations where a record of climate change would be valuable but sandy sediment will reduce penetration. |
