Principal discoveries made during the expedition were a natural bridge cave at 215 ft. depth on the northern edge of the main Bermuda platform, a drowned reef at nearly the same depth off the south shore, a sea level notch at 370 ft. at the eastern edge, and regularly spaced vertical rifts and jagged, possibly volcanic, cliffs along the southeastern side of Challenger Bank at depths to nearly 450 ft. All of these features were formed during the Ice Ages when world sea level had retreated to the depths that we reached on these dives. purpose: The goal of the ?Bermuda Deep Water Caves 2011: Dives of Discovery? expedition is to explore and characterize the upper edge of the Bermuda Platform and an adjacent mid-ocean seamount to confirm the existence of deep-water (60-200 meter/197-656 foot depth) caves. The initial two phases of this project were conducted in 2009. First, in collaboration with Dr. Rikk Kvitek of California State University?s Seafloor Mapping Lab, high resolution multibeam sonar was used to produce detailed, geo-referenced maps of the shelf edge of the Bermuda Platform and adjacent Challenger Bank. status: (MD_ProgressCode) completed pointOfContact: (CI_ResponsibleParty) individualName: Dr. Thomas Iliffe contactInfo: (CI_Contact) phone: (CI_Telephone) voice: 409-740-4454 facsimile: 409-740-5001 address: (CI_Address) deliveryPoint: Texas A&M University at Galveston deliveryPoint: 5007 Avenue U city: Galveston administrativeArea: TX postalCode: 77551 country: USA electronicMailAddress: iliffet@tamug.edu role: (CI_RoleCode) principalInvestigator pointOfContact: (CI_ResponsibleParty) individualName: Dr. Nicolas Alvarado contactInfo: (CI_Contact) phone: (CI_Telephone) voice: 727-209-5955 facsimile: 727-824-5364 address: (CI_Address) deliveryPoint: NOAA's Office of Ocean Exploration and Research deliveryPoint: 263 13th Avenue South deliveryPoint: SUITE 113, RM 354 city: St. Petersburg administrativeArea: FL postalCode: 33701 country: USA electronicMailAddress: Nicolas.Alvarado@noaa.gov role: (CI_RoleCode) pointOfContact resourceMaintenance: (MD_MaintenanceInformation) maintenanceAndUpdateFrequency: (MD_MaintenanceFrequencyCode) unknown dateOfNextUpdate: (unknown) descriptiveKeywords: (MD_Keywords) keyword: BIOSPHERE > AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS > MARINE HABITAT keyword: BIOSPHERE > AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS > REEF HABITAT keyword: OCEANS > BATHYMETRY/SEAFLOOR TOPOGRAPHY > CONTINENTAL MARGINS keyword: OCEANS > COASTAL PROCESSES > SEA LEVEL RISE type: (MD_KeywordTypeCode) theme thesaurusName: (CI_Citation) title: Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords date: (CI_Date) date: 2020-01-09 dateType: (CI_DateTypeCode) publication edition: 9.1 citedResponsibleParty: (CI_ResponsibleParty) organisationName: NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Earth Science Data and Information System contactInfo: (CI_Contact) onlineResource: (CI_OnlineResource) linkage: https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/learn/find-data/idn/gcmd-keywords name: Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Keywords description: The information provided on this page seeks to define how the GCMD Keywords are structured, used and accessed.
