| Purpose | The purpose of this survey was to collect high-resolution chirp seismic profiles, swath bathymetry, and sidescan sonar backscatter to characterize the surface and subsurface geologic framework offshore of Massachusetts. | ||||||||
| Location | Buzzards Bay, Vineyard Sound, Massachusetts, United States, North America, North Atlantic; | ||||||||
| Summary | USGS Survey 10004 (2010-004-FA) was conducted 13 May-4 June, 2010 aboard the M/V MEGAN MILLER in Buzzards Bay and Vineyard Sound, MA. The purpose of this survey was to collect high-resolution chirp seismic profiles, swath bathymetry, and sidescan sonar backscatter to characterize the surface and subsurface geologic framework offshore of Massachusetts. The survey covered a total of 333 sq. km in northern Buzzards Bay and Vineyard Sound, MA. | ||||||||
