Field Activity 1981-035-FA

Identifier 1981-035-FA
Alternate names 81-G-14, Leg 2
Purpose Obtain a near-shore high-resolution seismic reflection profile in order to both correlate reflections with onshore wells and aid in the interperetation of data obtained in 1979 and 1980 north and south of Cape Hatteras. Obtain a seismic and magnetic profile over the strong circular magnetic anomaly off Norfolk, VA.
Location Chesapeake Bay, Virginia, Cape Hatteras, Cape Lookout, North Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina, United States, North America, North Atlantic;
Summary 3.5 kHz, multichannel high-resolution reflection, single-channel high-resolution reflection, and magnetometer data collected.
