McMurdo Sediment Studies

McMurdo Sediment Studies

This project was planned in two parts - (1) an operation on the sea ice to recover cores and survey the Mackay Glacier Tongue in Granite Harbour, followed by a seismic survey for sub-seafloor structure in the southwest corner of the Sound, and (2) a shipboard programme of bottom sampling and bathymetry.

Although most work was directed toward understanding modern sedimentation, an important part, and especially the seismic work, was to provide more information on drill sites proposed for 1984 and 1985 as part of the CIROS project.
