m sections max length) and being analyzed for density, magnetic
susceptibility, P-wave velocity, and resistivity. once that is done,
they wil be split and sent to the main lab to be described.
i have been describing cores, managing scientists in the main lab,
working on developing site slection using multibeam data and 3.5 kHz
sub-bottom profile data, and fixing computer/technology problems.
feeling rather satisfied. the last 2 days were 16-17 hour shifts (even
though i am scheduled for only 12). last noght i finally got 6 hours
sleep, better than the single hour i got the night before! we are
short on science crew, so we probably will not be able to complete all
of our tasks as we would have liked.
basically, even though there have been some substantial problems, most
all is proceeding rather well. i am no longer sea sick and feel great!
a beautiful Sunshine sunrise today, brought up beautiful thoughts of
all my friends as i looked to the east to see the horizon of the coast
ranges above Crescent City (approximately where we are currently
stationed, near the Smith River submarine canyon.
ok, back to fixing the point magnetic susceptibility equipment. it has
ben malfunctioning the entire cruise. we have fixed several problems,
but others seem to pop up. the person who constrcuted it (while i am
thankfull for their effort as we would not have it withought them) was
not an electrician (even though there are some crafty electronic feats
that were mounted to make it work).
godd morning, Sunshine!
