Coordinating Upgrade of the GLAD800 Drill Rig to Meet STRATAFORM Needs

Abstract

The goal of STRATAFORM is to link short-term biological and physical processes affecting sedimentation ("event" stratigraphy" developed over hours to weeks) to the stratigraphic geometry and facies distribution of the upper ~100 m of continental margin sediments representing ~106 years of preserved record. This is to be realized through a coordinated program of acoustic imaging, water column and seafloor monitoring and modeling, and sub-seafloor sampling. The following summarizes efforts in 2001 to address this last goal.
