Field Activity 2000-086-FA

Identifier 2000-086-FA
Alternate names IB R-86-00-CD
Purpose We will be collecting high-resolution, Chirp and boomer sub-bottom data to map the Quaternary stratigraphy beneath Wellfleet Harbor and Cape Cod Bay along the western coast of Wellfleet and Truro. The stratigraphic data will be used in models of the glacial aquifer, and for locating wells on land.
Location Cape Cod Bay, Massachusetts, United States, North America, North Atlantic,
Summary Operations were restricted due to high winds and tide windows.
