| Alternate names | GYRE 80-7; GYRE 80-7a; GYRE 80-7b | ||||||||
| Purpose | Conduct seismic reflection studies of selected areas of the continental slope and upper continental rise off the New England and Middle Atlantic states. | ||||||||
| Location | Georges Bank, Toms Canyon, Lindenkohl Canyon, Wilmington Canyon, continental slope and rise, United States, North America, North Atlantic; | ||||||||
| Summary | 2,508 km each of 3.5 kHz, minisparker and airgun data collected in Georges Bank (Lydonia Canyon to Oceanographer Canyon), Toms-Lindenkohl Canyons, and Wilmington Canyon. | ||||||||
| Comments | These studies are part of continuing BLM-supported USGS investigations of the geomorphology, shallow structure, and processes of rapid mass wasting on the continental slope, and related hazards to development of offshore oil and gas resources.
