Field Activity 1975-006-FA

Identifier 1975-006-FA
Alternate names ATL2 89-3; 89, Leg 3
Purpose Conduct a geology and geophysics cruise along the Atlantic continental margin between Virginia and Cape Cod, concentrating on the continental shelf and slope between Virginia and Long Island where high-resolution seismic reflection profiling, vibracoring and bottom samples are needed for Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and USGS environmental impact studies in areas where petroleum lease sales are being considered. Single-channel seismic reflection profiles (airgun), gravity, and magnetics (Legs 1-3) and seismic refraction (Leg 3 only) programs for regional geologic resource assessment studies will also be conducted.
Location Atlantic outer continental shelf, United States, North America, North Atlantic;
Summary Collected seismic reflection profiles, plus three seismic refraction lines along the outer shelf and continental slope off New Jersey.
Comments No cruise report. Original Center People field also contained: Ozzie Girard and Stephen Denba. Project = Geophysics of the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf, Geophysics of the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf
