Summary Information for Field Activity 1995-044-FA

Area of Operations: Lake Erie, Ohio, United States, North America

Dates: August 02, 1995 to September 29, 1995

Chief scientist: Ken Parolski

Jonathan Fuller

Objectives: Purpose of this cruise was to shoot 3 additional shore-parallel seismic lines along the Ohio shore. Two were to be outside the previously shot lines using all equipment. Third was to be shoreward of all previously run lines, approximately 1000 feet offshore. These data would assist interpretation of transition from offshore data to nearshore and shore data.

Type of Activity: Seismic profiling; Sea floor mapping;Sea floor mapping

Information to be derived: Sea floor map;
