Status: Completed
Organization(s): USGS, Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center
Funding Program(s):
Principal Investigator(s): Kenneth F. Parolski
Affiliate Investigator(s): Robert Mixon - USGS-Reston
Information Specialist(s):
Data Type(s): Seismics: Sparker, Seismics: Air Gun / Water Gun, Seismics: Boomer, Seismics: Bubble Gun, Location-Elevation: Navigation
Scientific Purpose/Goals: Locate a paleochannel incised into the shelf for which evidence exists from a past sparker survey and onshore bore holes done by Dr. Mixon.
Vehicle(s):
Start Port/Location:
End Port/Location: Lynnhaven, VA
Start Date: 1978-05-22
End Date: 1978-05-25
Equipment Used: Teledyne single-channel 300-500J 40-tip minisparker, Del Norte hydrophone, Loran-C
Information to be Derived: Morphology;
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Minisparker: 115 km; EDO Hi-pact: NO DATA.
