Field Activity 1997-019-FA

Identifier 1997-019-FA
Alternate names GSLK97-1
Purpose Collection of high-resolution seismic reflection data to define the Quaternary stratigraphy of Great Salt Lake and Bear Lake, UT. Data will define rates of sedimentation and tectonic movements and will be used to select and correlate core sites.
Location Great Salt Lake and Bear Lake, Utah, United States, North America;
Summary Successful test of Elics Delft II data acquisition system.
Comments Project = Western U.S. Lakes, Western U.S. Lakes Information from Foghorn: Delft Elics 2-channel digital data acquisition system; ORE 3.5 kHz seismic system, Huntec boomer seismic system, P-code GPS Navigation system;Related plotting and data storage equipment;
