Abstract
-In-situ video-sediment-profile camera (VSPC) images will be displayed , llcapturedll using a combination of manned submersible sampling techniques, and innovative chargecoupled-display technology. These live images provide an intimate perspective of benthic sedimentary structures, processes, and dynamics from two very different benthic regimes. Imagery from 350m in the Caribou Island Basin of Lake Superior (1986 dives) will be compared to that from 750m depths on the upper continental slope off southern New England. Details of the mesotopographic relief (mms-cms) at the sediment-water interface (SWI), epiand infaunal organisms, their densities and spatial distributions may be addressed through this technique. Megabenthic burrow structures were easily identified from the sub, and the physical and biogenic sedimentary microstratigraphy were then examined in detail with the VSPC system down to 15-20cm within the sediments.
