Other ID: none

Status: Completed

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

Funding Program(s):

Principal Investigator(s): Uri Ten Brink

Affiliate Investigator(s):

Information Specialist(s): Claudia Flores

Data Type(s): Location-Elevation: Navigation, Seismics: Sparker, Seismics: Multichannel, Seismics: Sonobuoy, Sonar: Sound Velocity

Scientific Purpose/Goals: high-resolution MCS survey of the continental slope NE of the Hudson canyon. This area is unique along the Atlantic slope in having many landslides and hardly any submarine canyons. The cruise aimed to characterize and tie shelf, slope and rise stratigraphy together. It was also a test cruise for the new MCS streamer purchased by the center

End Date: 2011-09-26

Equipment Used: Sparker , Multichannel seismics, Seismic refraction, Sensor - MVP30 (Odim), DGPS

Information to be Derived:

Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: 1000 km of continuous seismic reflection data collected by Geometrics digital streamer (GeoEel) with a 6 kjoule Applied Acoustics sparker sound source
