Abstract: United States Geological Survey, Menlo Park, California. Chief Scientists: Guy Cochrane, Jon Warrick. Geological and Geophysical data (sidescansonar, GPS, GPS, gyro, underwatertelevision, underwatercamera) of field activity K-2-04-PS in Elwha Shelf, Puget Sound, WA from 03/09/2004 to 03/22/2004, http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/k/k204ps/html/k-2-04-ps.meta.html.
Purpose: These data and information are intended for science researchers, students from elementary through college, policy makers, and general public.
