Summary Information for Field Activity 2002-031-FA

Area of Operations: Bear Lake, Utah, United States, North America
Foy Lake, Montana, United States, North America

Dates: September 02, 2002 to September 22, 2002

Chief scientist: Steve Colman

Objectives: Bear Lake: sidescan sonar, swath bathymetry and Chirp sub-bottom; Foy Lake: Chirp sub-bottom.

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

Information to be derived: Seismic profiles

Summary: Successful cruise! Bear Lake: Completed mosaic mapping with sidescan sonar and swath bathymetry; supplemented existing seismic data with additional Chirp profiles. Collected bottom samples at 20 stations (stored in Woods Hole with S. Colman). Foy Lake: Completed Chirp seismic survey of entire lake. Acoustic data and samples in Woods Hole with Ch. Sci. Preliminary data given to UT F&WS, UT State Parks and U. Oregon.
