Data Type(s): Location-Elevation: Navigation, Sampling: Biology, Sampling: Geology, Seismics: Boomer, Seismics: Sub Bottom Profiler, Sonar: Sidescan, Sonar: Single Beam
Scientific Purpose/Goals: Sidescan sonar and high-resolution seismic profiling were done in the nearshore zone (3-30 m water depth) off Nauset Inlet and Coast Guard Beach to map the types and extent of nearshore bedforms and to define the late Pleistocene and Holocene history of the area.
Vehicle(s):
Start Port/Location: Chatham, MA
End Port/Location: Chatham, MA
Start Date: 1979-09-27
End Date: 1979-10-03
Equipment Used: EG&G 234, Edo Western Sidescan and 2.5 kHz sub-bottom system, 12 kHz, Grab sampler, Northstar 6000 LORAN-C, Motorola Mini-Ranger III, Single channel hydrophone
Information to be Derived:
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Dates of the cruise were Sep. 27 and 28, and Oct. 2 and 3, 1979. Returned each night to Chatham, MA. Collected 32 lines of seismic and sidescan profiles. Uniboom data: 153 km; Sidescan sonar data: 153 km; Echo-sounder data: 153 km; Grab samples: 27.
