Chaiten Delta Central, Mid Slope | SOI Divestream 715

Targeting the mid to lower slope of the Blanco delta front in its central region, downslope from the previous dive site and in a distinct unit (but still a transparent unit) observed in sub-bottom profiles, before a stratified sequence is entered below the delta margins (the target of ROV01). The site has been selected as the top of an lower transparent unit descending from the front of the Chaiten delta
system. Structures suggest this material is sourced from the Blanco river, but adjacent stratigraphy may also have influence from the Yelcho river. The site has been selected to target the transparent part of the delta frontal unit, aiming to use the vibrocorer to extend beyond the mud that was sampled with the grab.
