Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Water depth determination technique not noted in report. Water depths given in meters. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: Generally, the gravel- and sand-size fractions were analyzed using standard sieving techniques and the silt- and cly-size fractions were analyzed using standard pipetting techniques (Krumbein and Pettijohn, 1938). However, the sand-size fraction for a number of samples in the STrait of Juan de Fuca was analyzed using a settling tube (Anderson, 1967). For the IOUBC samples, analysis of the coarse fraction was by sieving and of the fine fraction by the hydrometer method.
