This cruse was a part
of the Gulf of Mexico Hydrates
Research Consortium, with participants from Old Miss and USM. The cruse
took
place aboard the R/V Pelican on the 25-27 of January,2005.
The cruse had three main objectives. The
first was to field test the
penetrometer. This is used to determine
how deep and how easily one can penetrate into the substrate. The second
objective was
to collect core samples using a gravity corer.
These cores were later opened and sampled for sediment and
foraminiferal
analysis.
