Summary for Field Activity Number 76012

On-Line Data Resources:	Report	Navigation	GIS	Archive	Geophysics	Sidescan
On-Line Data Resources:	Metadata	Samples	Photography	Time-series	Seismics	Publications

Area of Operations: Lake Ontario, New York, United States, Ontario, Canada, Great Lakes, North America

Dates: April 19, 1976 to April 30, 1976

Chief scientist: Debbie Hutchinson

Objectives: The Lake Ontario cruise of the ARGUE MARTIN grew from a proposal to investigate the possible continuation of the Clarendon-Linden fault structure in western New York into Lake Ontario. Marine seismic profiling was used to determine the areal extent of the structure in the lake, and to delineate major structural features in the bedrock and any near surface features in the overlying sediment that could indicate recent movement on the fault.

Type of Activity: Seismic profiling

Information to be derived: Morphology

Summary: Total track length measures 440 km with 7 perpendicular crossings of the main proposed extension of the fault structure (10-15 km spacing) and at least 9 perpendicular crossings of proposed adjoining fault structures.
