DEEP WATER DUMP SITE 106

Description: Near-bottom current measurements to understand the fate and transport of sludge discharged at the sea surface. Sludge from the New York/New Jersey metropolitan region was discharged at DWDS106 from 1986-1992 and represents the largest dump of sludge to the deep ocean in the world and an opportunity to observe the long-term effects of ocean disposal on the deep ocean. Duration: 1989-1992 USGS PIs: B. Butman, M. Bothner Collaborators: NOAA National Undersea Research Program Publications:: Field Activitie Reports: 89027, 90026 Explore where measurements were made and the kinds of data collected during this experiment using GoogleEarth (V4 or better required) and DWDS_106.kml.
