Field Activity 2011-056-FA

Identifier 2011-056-FA
Purpose map gas in sediments and water column in vicinity of lake-bottom sonar deployment
Location Upper Mystic Lake, Massachusetts
Summary Re-occupied closely spaced Chirp lines collected earlier to determine if any changes in gas charging of sediments or gas emissions from sediments. Crossed sonar deployed on bottom lander several times and imaged it in the Chirp data. Sought to correlate seeps detected by the sonar lander with seeps inferred from fishfinder/Chirp records.
