Field Activity 2001-057-FA

Identifier 2001-057-FA
Alternate names IB R-1-01-CD
Purpose Collected high-resolution Chirp and boomer sub-bottom data to map the Quaternary stratigraphy east of Wellfleet, Truro and Eastham. The stratigraphic data will be used in models of the glacial aquifer, and for locating wells on land.
Location offshore lower Cape Cod, Massachusetts, United States, North America, North Atlantic;
Comments Original Center People field contained: Ken Parolski - boat operation, marine tech; Dave Foster - acquisition, alternate boat op.; Larry Poppe - acquisition; Mark Capone - alternate; Bill Danforth - alternate.
