| Purpose | Re-mapping of pockmark field to determine morphological change (if any) and to refine sub-bottom structure. | ||||||||
| Location | Penobscot River, Penobscot Bay, Belfast Bay, Maine, United States, Gulf of Maine, North America, North Atlantic; | ||||||||
| Summary | Seismic reflection system failed after three days due to software problems (SB Logger). Very frustrating. Swath bathymetry and backscatter from sidescan sonar: 8 days of data collection, 340 km of tracklines, water depths 3-90 m; Seismic reflection profiles: 3 days of data collection, 109 km of tracklines; Sound velocity profiles: 15. | ||||||||
| Comments | Original Center People field contained: Walter Barnhardt (PI), Barry Irwin (boat driver), Emile Bergeron (master tech), Brian Andrews (data processor), and Chuck Worley (tech). Project = Penobscot River Sampling, Penobscot River Sampling | ||||||||
