Field Activity 1975-001-FA

Identifier 1975-001-FA
Alternate names FLOR FC A, Legs 1 and 2; FLOR FC B
Purpose This cruise was carried out as part of a cooperative study by the USGS and the Institute Francais du Petrole (IFP) to collect DEP seismic profiles, gravity, magnetics, and refraction profiling data on the Blake Plateau, Southeast Georgia Embayment.
Location Blake Plateau, Southeast Georgia Embayment, United States, North America, North Atlantic;
Summary CDP multichannel seismic data: 10 lines (FC-1 thru FC-10).
Comments USGS personnel participated in FC A Legs 1 (7-13 Jan. 1975) and 2 (15-21 Jan. 1975). Because the cruise was ended due to the breakdown of equipment, the IFP agreed to carry out further profiling in mid-April. Lines FC-8, FC-9 and FC-10 and a repeat of Line FC-3 were collected April 17-25, 1975, by the IFP aboard the FLORENCE. Original Center People field contained: Bill Dillon - Ch. Sci. (Jan. 7-21, 1975); Perry Parks (Jan. 7-21, 1975); Kenneth Bayer (Jan. 15-21, 1975). Project = French Connection, French Connection
