United States Geological Survey, Woods Hole, Massachusetts.
Chief Scientists: Walter Barnhardt, Joe Kelley, University of
Maine, Laura Brothers, University of Maine. Seafloor mapping
data (Bathymetry, Seismic reflection, Sidescan-Klein, SubX
(234 kHz), Edgetech 424, Klein 3000) of field activity 08024
(R-24-08-ME) in Penobscot River, Penobscot Bay, Maine, United
States, Gulf of Maine, North America, North Atlantic from
09/16/2008 to 09/25/2008,
http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/r/r2408me/html/r-24-08-me.meta.html.
These data and information are intended for science
researchers, students from elementary through
college, policy makers, and general public.
Equipment Used -
Bathymetry
Seismic reflection
Sidescan-Klein
SubX (234 kHz)
Edgetech 424
Klein 3000
Notes -
10 days at sea.
Data types: Seismic
Bathymetry
Sonar
Navigation technique: RTK-DGPS
Seismic reflection system failed after three days due to
software problems (SB Logger). Very frustrating.
Similar information is available for thousands
of other USGS/CMG-related Activities.
If known, available are Activity-specific
navigation, gravity, magnetics, bathymetry,
seismic, and sampling data; track maps; and
equipment information; as well as summary
overviews, crew lists, and information
about analog materials.
If available, access to physical samples is
described in the "WR CMG Sample Distribution
Policy" at:
http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/programs/html/main/sample-dist-policy.html
