View new CMGDS report form

Other ID: IB R-1-01-CD

Status: Completed

Organization(s): USGS, Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center

Funding Program(s):

Principal Investigator(s): David Foster, Lawrence Poppe

Affiliate Investigator(s): John Masterson, WRD

Information Specialist(s): David Foster

Data Type(s): Location-Elevation: Navigation, Seismics: Boomer, Seismics: Sub Bottom Profiler

Scientific Purpose/Goals: Collected high-resolution Chirp and boomer sub-bottom data to map the Quaternary stratigraphy east of Wellfleet, Truro and Eastham. The stratigraphic data will be used in models of the glacial aquifer, and for locating wells on land.

Vehicle(s):

Start Port/Location: Chatham, MA

End Port/Location: Sesuit Harbor, Dennis, MA

Start Date: 2001-07-09

End Date: 2001-07-19

Equipment Used: Boomer, Knudsen CHIRP Sub-bottom Profiler, GPS (wh), Single channel hydrophone
