Purpose | Sidescan sonar and high-resolution seismic profiling were done in the nearshore zone (3-30 m water depth) off Nauset Inlet and Coast Guard Beach to map the types and extent of nearshore bedforms and to define the late Pleistocene and Holocene history of the area. | ||||||||
Location | Nauset Inlet, Chatham Inlet, Coast Guard Beach, Massachusetts, United States, North America, North Atlantic; | ||||||||
Summary | Dates of the cruise were Sep. 27 and 28, and Oct. 2 and 3, 1979. Returned each night to Chatham, MA. Collected 32 lines of seismic and sidescan profiles. Uniboom data: 153 km; Sidescan sonar data: 153 km; Echo-sounder data: 153 km; Grab samples: 27. | ||||||||
Comments | Original Center People field contained: Dave Twichell (Ch. Sci.), Frank Jennings (Technician), Paul Loud (Skipper). Project = Nauset Inlet Survey - Small Boat Project, Nauset Inlet Survey - Small Boat Project | ||||||||
