J. Novak Investigator, USGS Western Region R. L. Robeck Ship Captain Equipment Used airgun uniboom radar Purpose To provide information on the thickness and distribution of Quaternary deposits, to identify folds and faults that deform them, and to provide a basis for assessing geoenvironmental hazards. Information to be Derived Seismic reflection profiles. Summary Approximately 48 km of high-resolution seismic reflection profiles were obtained in the Strait of Georgia, Washington, from January 22 to 23, 1978. Tracklines were located by ship's radar with variable range marker. The source of seismic energy used was a 400-600 Joule double-back Uniboom system with a recorder sweep rate of 1/4-second and a 1/4- or 1/2-second firing rate. Filter settings for the lines generally were 2900 Hz (high) and 850 Hz (low). Ship's average speed was about 5 knots.
