Other ID: NECH 88-1-LM
Status: Completed
Organization(s): USGS, Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center
Funding Program(s):
Principal Investigator(s): David W. Folger, David Foster
Affiliate Investigator(s):
Information Specialist(s):
Data Type(s): Seismics: Boomer, Sonar: Sidescan, Sonar: Single Beam, Environmental Data: Tide, Location-Elevation: Navigation
Scientific Purpose/Goals: To determine the seismic stratigraphy above bedrock on 24 transects from 10 NM offshore to the coasts of Illinois and Indiana.
Vehicle(s):
Start Port/Location: Great Lakes, IL
End Port/Location: Michigan City, IN
Start Date: 1988-07-25
End Date: 1988-08-11
Equipment Used: Single channel hydrophone, Huntec profiling system (500-2500 Hz), Klein 531 sidescan, ODOM 200 kHz depth recorder, Water-level gauges, Motorola Falcon IV Microwave relay Mini-Ranger
Information to be Derived:
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: 350 nm (648 km) bathymetry and sub-bottom data. Sidescan data will have to be acquired when the thermocline is destroyed by fall storms and cold weather.
