Field Activity 1978-013-FA

Identifier 1978-013-FA
Alternate names CJS-78-01; CJS 01-78
Purpose Locate a paleochannel incised into the shelf for which evidence exists from a past sparker survey and onshore bore holes done by Dr. Mixon.
Location Virginia nearshore continental shelf, Delmarva Peninsula, United States, North America, North Atlantic;
Summary Minisparker: 115 km; EDO Hi-pact: NO DATA.
Info derived Morphology;
Comments LORAN-C with paper tape punch were used but the sparker glitched it. Switched to ship's LORAN (12 VEC power) and 5 minute fixes in the log, 10 minute notations on track charts. Original Center People field contained: Kenneth Parolski - Co-Ch. Sci., Nicholas Lefteriou, Jerry McCarthy. Project = Delmarva Peninsula, Delmarva Peninsula
