| EM122 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During AT26-06 |
| Submarine Exploration and Evaluation of Petroleum Seeps (SEEPS) (AT26-06, EM122).
1. Conduct in-situ incubations with devices for microbial growth, deployed in 2011.
2. Investigate the fate of dissolved hydrocarbons in the waters along the CA margin.
3. Investigate the variability in composition of seeping hydrocarbons at sites along
the CA margin. 4. Investigate the distribution and nature of hydrocarbon seepage and
biodegradation along the CA margin. 5. Identify and map hydrocarbon/tar sources and
related features along the CA margin. 6. Identify, map and sample microbes and chemicals
associated with historical waste disposal practices. 7. Conduct sampling for additional
in-situ incubations. |
