04/13/2012,13:28:47,Jamie Austin,Vehices in the water.  This is Jamie Austin.  Today we will be diving at Biloxi Salt Dome - site A.  We will be spending time day covering less ground foreward, perhaps only several hundred meters, but more ground laterally.  We will literally low the lawn with Little Herc, to the degree that tether and ship motion (along several waypoints) allow.  The goal is to visually inspect ground along our proposed track, to be more or less sure that we have not missed gas escape features which persist in multiple MBES passes across this site.

We will spend time doing complete visual inspection of the seafloor from WPs 1-3, to distances of at least 256 m either side of the projected dive track, to assure ourselves that we have not missed potential bubble streams related to known acoustic plumes occurring in this area.

04/13/2012,14:57:26,Jamie Austin,We will advance at 0.1 kt.  Enroute to WP2.  Our plan - define a triangle of ~40 m swaths, WP-1 to WP-2 to WP-3, then fill in the region within the triangle by systematic visual inspection.  If we do not encounter bubble streams, we will expand the triangle outwards, using the WPs as inner survey bounds.

04/13/2012,15:26:38,Jamie Austin,This is the Okeanos Explorer.  Enroute from WP1 to WP2, mowing the lawn with Little Herc in search of seeps/bubble streams exiting the seafloor.  Some bacterial staining, but generally smooth seafloor with intermittent burrowing intensity.

04/13/2012,15:38:44,Erin Becker,Just west of WP2, we are seeing some extensive black and white staining and carbonate hardgrounds with some scattered vestimentiferan tubeworms, galatheid crabs, and Chaceon crabs

04/13/2012,16:05:28,Jamie Austin,Still searching approximately W of WP 2.  Hummocky seafloor.
04/13/2012,16:06:21,Erin Becker,On the slow motion replay it looks like those bulbous structures might be methane bubbles that haven't been released
04/13/2012,16:07:03,Erin Becker,Some are large and elongated, so if that is what they are, they would have to have some kind of a crust of methane hydrate to stabilize them
04/13/2012,16:08:06,Erin Becker,They are still translucent, unlike the solid white or yellow methane hydrate we observed on the previous dive and elsewhere in the Gulf
04/13/2012,16:10:23,Jamie Austin,Little Herc now due south of WP 2.  About to move the ship towards WP3.

04/13/2012,17:54:02,robertcarney,mats usually are on a reduced gray or even balck sediments...this is on oxidized brown mud
04/13/2012,17:54:12,robertcarney,burrow casts?

04/13/2012,18:05:41,Jamie Austin,There may be hydrate trapped under the lip of the hardground from which gas is escaping.

04/13/2012,18:12:36,Erin Becker,There are some of the translucent bubbles under the lip of the carbonate where bubbles are escaping and they bubbles are coming out of a tube

04/13/2012,18:27:10,Jamie Austin,This is the Okeanos Explorer.  We are near WP3.  Multiple depressions, likely caused by hydrate collapse.  Multiple outcrops of hydrate, some with ice worms.  Occasional gas escape.  Thi is Dive 02, Biloxi Salt Dome - A.

We will conduct a straight track during the first ~50% of this line, then begin the search pattern with Little Herc to fill in the center of the triangle we have defined.

04/13/2012,19:53:09,Jamie Austin,Encountering another seep, at what appears to be NW of seep 4.  Pretty high rate of bubble escape.  The same as seep 4, or just near it?   Ship is stopped; we are investigating.
04/13/2012,19:53:12,tomweber,we are about 30 m wnw of wp3
04/13/2012,19:53:43,tomweber,saw seepage near this before, but i think we are a little west of that now

04/13/2012,20:00:31,Jamie Austin,Decision that this is likely seep 4.  Will continue towards WP2a.
04/13/2012,20:00:41,Erin Becker,where we had seen some large bubbles earlier
04/13/2012,20:01:15,Erin Becker,again, as we got closer, we seem to have lost the steady stream we saw from farther away
