Description:

Abstract: No abstract available

Purpose:

From Rick Fletcher: "Attached is a zip file with two themes. 2000Reseachgrabs cruise are historical lie stations that we resample. It has been processed so you can see what we are producing as a product. We used the Udden-Wentworth method of classifying grain size. The second is Hab_grab which is all our grab positions, however you will see they are generally in groups of 4 & where that is the case only one is being processed for grain size the others are for biological analysis."
