Methane Hydrates DTAGS and Coring Cruise Off the Carolina Coast

Abstract

From June 16 to July 19,2002, NRL conducted a research cruise aboard the RIV Cape Hatteras out of Beaufort NC over the Cape Fear diapir and slide, and over the Blake Ridge diapir. High-resolution multichannel seismic data was acquired in all areas, and over the Blake Ridge diapir, a long baseline acoustic navigation system was used to colocate the seismic data with piston and gravity cores. Estimated accuracy of the colocation is 1 to 2 m. We report here exactly where and how the seismic and sample data were acquired.
