Field Activity 1988-009-FA

Identifier 1988-009-FA
Alternate names NECH 88-1-LM
Purpose To determine the seismic stratigraphy above bedrock on 24 transects from 10 NM offshore to the coasts of Illinois and Indiana.
Location Southern Lake Michigan, Great Lakes, Illinois, Indiana, United States, North America;
Summary 350 nm (648 km) bathymetry and sub-bottom data. Sidescan data will have to be acquired when the thermocline is destroyed by fall storms and cold weather.
