The project is aimed at understanding the process of mass-                      wasting by photographing and sampling specific substrates and                   outcrops, and to quantitatively describe and classify subsea                    terrains using acoustic remote sensing on the continental slope                 off the New Jersey coast. Side-scan sonar imagery of the area                   already exists, and under this project sampling along steep-                    sided outcrops will be a accomplished by using the submersible                  ALVIN. complemented by coring in other places, and seabed                       photography from a towed sled, which will ground-truth the                      existing imagery data. The data will help answer important                      unknowns, such as, whether the erosion of slope is caused by                    external forces such as sea level and climate or by failure of                  the slope, and information about the rate of erosion. It will                   also answer the questions about the reliability of digitally                    processed imagery of the seafloor in predicting the substrate                   type and internal properties of the seabed.
