Equipment Used: Edgetech Chirp 216, SWATH plus-M , Gravity Core
Information to be Derived: Bathymetric map, high-resolution sub-bottom profiles, and ~2 m gravity cores.
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Field activity 2023-637-FA was successful. A grid of sub-bottom profiles and bathymetric data was collected over most of the lake. Sediment Gravity cores recover sediment from the top 2 meters of lake bottom.
