Other ID: 8-95

Status: Completed

Organization(s): USGS, Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center

Funding Program(s):

Principal Investigator(s): Kenneth F. Parolski

Affiliate Investigator(s): Jonathan Fuller

Information Specialist(s):

Data Type(s): Sonar: Sidescan, Seismics: Sub Bottom Profiler, Location-Elevation: Navigation

Scientific Purpose/Goals: 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.

Vehicle(s):

Start Port/Location: Sandusky, OH

End Port/Location: Sandusky, OH

Start Date: 1995-08-02

End Date: 1995-09-29

Equipment Used: Klein 595 100/500kHz sidescan sonar, 3.5 kHz, Northstar 6000 LORAN-C, Loran-C

Information to be Derived: Sea floor map;
