Area of Operations: Lydonia Canyon, Oceanographer Canyon, Georges Bank, United States, North America, North Atlantic

Dates: July 6, 1982 to July 15, 1982

Chief scientist: Brad Butman

Objectives: 1. Recover current moorings in Lydonia and Oceanographer Canyons. 2. Deploy current moorings in Lydonia Canyon and Lease Block 312. 3. Obtain surface grab samples on shelf and slope adjacent to Lydonia and Oceanographer Canyons. 4. Obtain hydrostatically damped cores at Lease Blocks 312 and 410 and head of Lydonia Canyon. 5. Obtain piston cores at head of Lydonia Canyon. 6. Conduct hydrographic survey of shelf and slope adjacent to Lydonia and Oceanographer Canyons. 7. Recover and redeploy surface marker buoys as required. 8. Conduct bathymetric survey in Lydonia Canyon.
