Information Specialist(s): Brian Andrews
Data Type(s): Sonar: Sound Velocity, Seismics: Sub Bottom Profiler, Sonar: Multibeam
Scientific Purpose/Goals: Collect seafloor and subseafloor information aid the State, and coastal vulnerability studies
Vehicle(s):
Start Port/Location: Mashpee, MA
End Port/Location: Mashpee, MA
Start Date: 2022-06-03
End Date: 2022-06-24
Equipment Used: AML-3 LGR, AML Minos X, Reson T20-P, Edgetech 3400
Information to be Derived: seafloor mapping data including geophysical and seafloor sampling data
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Collected ~ 680 linear kms of Edgetech 3400 and dual-head Reson T20-P data during 13 days between June 3 and 24th. Original survey plan was adjusted due to R/V Rafael engine challenges. Survey was divided into two areas based on overall depth. South (deep) survey area used tracklines 87 meters apart and was completed in 8 days. The north (shallow) area used trackline spacing of 52 meters and was 30% complete before the end of the survey on June 24th.
