Field Activity Logs

Field Activity Collection System (FACS) Logs

FACS logs are standardized forms used by the USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program. For more information see http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/programs/html/main/facs.html. Click on the links below to access PDF files containing the digital FACS logs and scanned images of the handwritten FACS logs for each cruise. 00SCC Digital FACS logs were generated after the cruise using the handwritten logs and personal accounts of the crew members. The CR83 and P86 FACS Logs were generated after the cruise using data from the Louisiana Sand Resource Inventory 1885 Vibracore Services Report (Alpine Ocean Seismic Survey, Inc., 1986) and the Coastal Geology Technical Report No. 8 from the Louisiana Geological Survey (Suter and others, 1991). These FACS Logs for cruises CR83 and P86 are incomplete. The Digital FACS logs can all be found within the FACS folder. Note that there are no FACS logs available here for the USACE EUSTIS cores; please contact the USACE for more information.
