Field Activity 2007-002-FA

Identifier

2007-002-FA

Purpose

Geologic mapping of sea floor (geophysics only).

Location

Cape Cod Bay, Massachusetts, United States, North America, North Atlantic,

Summary

Survey collected 100% coverage with swath bathymetry over an area of approx. 350 km2 in northern Cape Cod Bay. Approx. 1300 line km of sidescan sonar and sub-bottom profiles were also collected. Preliminary data processing took place during survey.

Info derived

Sea floor map; Bathymetric maps;
