10.2 The purpose of this field program was to determine sediment thickness and velocity structure, stratigraphic architecture, and basement structure of the North Pacific seafloor in support of requirements for continental shelf maritime zone definition in the Gulf of Alaska.  The program was focused on the geologic structures and dynamic processes that control the distribution of sediment, including the manner in which the processes of the slope meet the deep sea floor, and the places where sediment is thickest due to the coincidence of basement depressions and abundant sediment supply. The survey explored portions of the Surveyor and Baranof sedimentary systems, the Aja Fracture Zone and the Kodiak Bowie seamount corridor.
