VANC20MV Gravity:Field
MARGINS:Funded
Ship-based Trackline Geophysical Data (MGD77) from the PNG MARGINS Focus Site acquired during the Melville expedition VANC20MV (2004)
This data set was acquired with a ship-based BellAerospace BGM-3 Gravimeter during Melville expedition VANC20MV conducted in 2004 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Charles Nittrouer). These data files are of MGD77 format and include Gravity Field data and were processed after data collection. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Processes Controlling Depositional Signals of Environmental Change in the Fly River Sediment Dispersal System, Dispersion, Cycling and Burial of Organic Carbon in a River-Dominated Margin, Biogeochemical Cycling and Authigenic Mineral Formation in Suboxic Tropical Mobile Mud Belts, and Monsoon season cruise, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE02-03351, OCE02-19919, and OCE02-20600.
