Information to be Derived:
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: This cruise was part of a series of USGS/OGS co-operative cruises to map Lake Erie. 47 tracklines.
Staff: Kenneth F. Parolski, Barry Irwin, VeeAnn Cross
Affiliate Staff:
Ron Circe
Notes: Submitted by A. Orton for R. Circe 10/17/08.
Project = Great Lakes - Ohio Co-op, Great Lakes - Ohio Co-op
Information from Foghorn: 10 folders sidescan sonar printouts, 24 VHS tapes (boomer?), 3 rolls boomer profiles, 1 seismics log, raw navigation, edited navigation, 16 trackmaps (copies). Sidescan sonar, sub-bottom profiler, Q-MIPS, grab sampler, gravity corer, diver corer, video, 35mm camera, diver communication system;
Updated by VeeAnn: Ken and Barry did mobilization and shakedown. VeeAnn ran the geophysical part of the survey. If there was ground-truthing, she wasn't involved and it happened after she left and is unsure of who was involved in that.
