Box cores: 15; VanVeen grab samples:6; Hydraulically-damped gravity cores:6; Piston cores:3; Purpose: 1. Recover two subsurface moorings from the dump site which were deployed in September, 1989. Collect sediment samples for studies of benthic infauna, microbiology, heavy metel and organic geochemistry. Overall objective of the sampling is to extend out study (initial survey on Atlantis cruise 122) of the sea floor to determine where particles from sewage sludge are being deposited as a result of discharge in the dump site (2250-2750 m water depth). Samples were also taken in Time_Period_of_Content: Time_Period_Information: Beginning_Date: 19900802 Ending_Date: 19900807 Currentness_Reference: Publication Date Status: Progress: In Work Maintenance_and_Update_Frequency: As Needed Spatial_Domain: Bounding_Coordinates: West_Bounding_Coordinate: -72.34 East_Bounding_Coordinate: -71.166 North_Bounding_Coordinate: 39.14 South_Bounding_Coordinate: 38.5 Keywords: Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: None Theme_Keyword: Sampling Theme_Keyword: Mooring work Theme_Keyword: Seismic profiling Theme_Keyword: Place: Place_Keyword_Thesaurus: None Place_Keyword: Continental Slope off New Jersey Place_Keyword: DWDS106 Place_Keyword: southern flank of Georges Bank Place_Keyword: United States Place_Keyword: North America Temporal: Temporal_Keyword_Thesaurus: None Temporal_Keyword: Access_Constraints: None Use_Constraints: None Point_Of_Contact: Contact_Information: Contact_Person_Primary: Contact_Person: Nancy Soderberg Contact_Organization: U.S. Geological Survey Contact_Address: Address_Type: mailing address Address: 384 Woods Hole Road City: Woods Hole State_or_Province: MA Postal_Code: 02543 Contact_Voice_Telephone: Metadata_Reference_Information: Metadata_Date: 20080116 Metadata_Contact: Contact_Information: Contact_Person: Nancy Soderberg Contact_Address: Address_Type: mailing address Address: 384 Woods Hole Road City: Woods Hole State_or_Province: MA Postal_Code: 02543 Contact_Voice_Telephone: Metadata_Standard_Name: FGDC Content Standards Metadata_Standard_Version: 19940608
