Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: From Aug 1-29, 2019 USGS collected geophysical data aboard the M/V Warren Jr. in Cape Cod Bay, MA. We collected 4700 trackline kilometers of multibeam and 512i chirp data. We collected 570 trackline kilometers of multi-channel seismic data (s-boom source) and 474 sound velocity profiles.
