| 70002 | MAR/12/1970 - MAR/17/1970 | LULU | Robert Oldale | LULU cruise 31 had two main objectives:1)to test the capability of using the ship for scientific work(previously she has been used only as the tender for ALVIN) and 2)to obtain geophysical data in Nantucket and Vineyard Sounds, Buzzards Bay and Cape Cod Bay. |
| 70007 | JUN/10/1970 - JUN/16/1970 | GOSNOLD | John S. Schlee | The main purpose was to complete bottom sediment sampling in the nothern quadrangle and to do additional 3.5 kHz seismic profiling as a supplement to those taken in earlier cruises of the GOSNOLD and VERRILL last year. |

| 72002 | MAY/7/1972 - MAY/24/1972 | ATLANTIC TWIN | John Schlee,Robert Oldale | The Commonwealth of Massachusetts faces a critical problem regarding its sand and gravel reserves. These materials essential in highway construction and almost every aspect of commercial and private development are in extremely short supply. Principal sources currently found in New Hampshire are now limited due to depletion and land-use ordinances. WIth rapidly growing demand and increasingly restricted supply of the ingredient essential to the well-being of its people, the Commonwealth has been forced to look towards sea-bed aggregates for future needs. Since mining of marine sediments may have harmful effects on the marine ecological balance and result in damage to beach property, a moratorium has been placed on all commercial dredging in Commonwealth waters. Assessment of ecological damage is underway. This survey was undertaken to establish if exploitable aggregate resources exist in Massachusetts waters. A reconnaissance survey of the area from Cape Ann to Brant Rock between the 40 and 150 foot contours was planned to ascertain the general geologic conditions. From this reconnaissance, detailed survey and physical sampling operations were planned to delineate potential areas of economic aggregate deposits. |

| 74011 | OCT/22/1974 - OCT/24/1974 | ASTERIAS | Geophysics. | |

| 75007 | MAY/21/1975 - MAY/25/1975 | ATLANTIC TWIN | James Robb | Obtain 40 vibracores, approximate 5 ft long in Buzzards Bay and perform size analysis. |
| 75004 | MAY/7/1975 - MAY/9/1975 | SPAR | Brad Butman | Deploy mooring #GBK1 (aka #101)on the southwest part of Georges Bank. |
| 75011 | JUN/19/1975 - JUN/30/1975 | ASTERIAS | Charles J. O Hara | The cooperative program is designed to provide detailed geological information and an assessment of mineral resources pertaining to that part of the continental shelf beneath the coastal waters of Massachusetts. In anticipation of the development of offshore natural resources of the Commonwealth, the major focus of the research effort is directed toward the occurrance, nature and distribution of these deposits as well as establishment of baseline data for evaluation of environmental impact of exploitation. The subbottom profiling surveys provide the foundation for a planned program of vibracoring and bottom sampling of geological features. Laboratory analysis of the vibracore and bottom samples will evaluate the economic importance of the deposits and, coupled with the seismic data, provide information of the geology and geologic history of the area. |
| 75015 | AUG/19/1975 - AUG/22/1975 | SPAR | Brad Butman | The cruise objective was to recover a single mooring on the southern slope of Georges Bank and redeploy 2 moorings at the same site. |
| 75019 | SEP/12/1975 - SEP/16/1975 | ADVANCE II | D. W. Folger | The cruise was conducted to make direct observations of geologic, bydrologic, and biologic phenomena at three sites located on Georges Bank. At each of the sites a railroad wheel had been set on a previous cruise. A vibracore pipe was also to have been placed on the bottom prior to the submersible cruise; however, due to mechanical problems the pipes were not set until after the submersible cruise was completed. Of primary concern in the area are the magnitude, characteristics, and distribution of ripple marks on the bottom because these result from both oscillatory and uni-directional current motion. In addition, bottom currents were to be measured directly on the bottom during submersible dives, and distribution patterns and habits of benthic and epibethic fauna assessed. Finally, we hiped to retrieve a string of four current meters that had been set close to one of the diving stations. |
| 75020 | SEP/16/1975 - SEP/18/1975 | HORNBEAM | Brad Butman | The cruise objective was to deploy one surface mooring (#GBK2), (#102) and one intermediate mooring(#GBK3) in support of research on the low frequency variability of the region for the USGS. |

| 75022 | OCT/2/1975 - OCT/17/1975 | FAY | John Schlee | The main purposes of the cruise were to (1) investigate the shallow structure of the area (as a key to spot potential geologic hazards), (2) study of the deeper crustal structure through measurement of gravity and magnetics, and through seismic reflection profiles, (3) to collect shallow seismic reflection profiles over areas where vibracores were taken on the first cruise of the FAY. |

Principle objectives include: detailed mapping of geological features, assessment of potential mineral resources, feasibility and enviromental impact studies related to offshore mining of sand and gravel, and enviromental considerations relative to offshore disposal of solid waste material. |
| 76027 | JUL/21/1976 - SEP/19/1976 | GLOMAR CONCEPTION | John C. Hathaway, John S. Schlee; | The U.S. Geological Survey Atlantic Margin Coring Project, 1976, a 60-day expedition to obtain core samples by drilling beneath the floor of the Continental Shelf and Slope of the eastern United States was carried out in July, August, and September 1976. The purpose of the program was to obtain reliable data for appraisals of environmental conditions and offshore resources. Objectives included measuring geotechnical and engineering properties of the shelf sediments, defining freshwater aquifers offshore, collecting information on possible resources such as phosphates, sand and gravel deposits, and calibrating existing geophysical data. Additional information was sought on the regional extent of geologic units, the stratigraphic column, characteristics and ages of the sediments, variance of the geochemical baseline and zones of slope stability or potential instability. The work was carried out aboard D/V GLOMAR CONCEPTION with the assistance of the M/V L OLONNOIS in making seismic site surveys, anchoring the drilling vessel, and transporting supplies and equipment. |

The core data will be correlated with subbottom seismic profiling data to determine the distribution, lithology and economic importance of offshore geologic features and mineral resources. In addition, these studies will document important landmark data, help to evaluate the feasibility and environmental conditions of offshore mining of mineral deposits and offshore disposal of solid waste material, and provide information on the geology and geologic history of the region. |
| 76029 | AUG/2/1976 - AUG/6/1976 | VERRILL, A.E. | Charles J. O Hara | As part of the proposed Federal Harbor improvement and maintenance dredging of Fall River and Mt. Hope Bay, a dump site for the dredge spoils is proposed for an area 2 miles southeast of Browns Ledge in Eastern Rhode Island Sound. This site is also being considered as a regional disposal ground for state and private organizations performing dredging for the Corps. The USGS in cooperation with the New England Division of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will conduct a sidescan sonar survey as part of a continuing program to determine the suitability and potential environmental impact of ocean dumping of dredge spoil material at the site.

This sampling will check conditions just before the sewage outfall is changed from Deer Island (at the mouth of the harbor) to the new location 9 miles offshore. |

Deployed and recover oxygen profiler - 2 times at station 3 once at station 2. Recovered one Benthic chamber by SCUBA divers. The second chamber was not found. Day 3: An attempt was made to recover the lost slow corer from location east of Stellwagen Bank at 200 m water depth. A three grapling hook assembly (on an 8 foot spreader) was used with a camera attached to the middle hook. Dann Blackwood arranged 6 submersible flashlights on the central hook which did a good job illuminating to the side and bottom. The whole assemblage was lowered on half inch tenex rope (breaking strength about 11,000lbs). Approximately 2 hours were spend on and around the last known position of the core. It was not seen in the camera, nor was it hooked during the dragging operation. |
