Alternate Leg ID: NE-1-78

Area of Operations: Lake George, New York, United States, North America

Dates: November 26, 1978 to December 8, 1978

Chief scientist: Debbie Hutchinson

Objectives: Obtain piston cores and grab samples to correlate lithology with acoustic stratigraphy determined in the 1976 Lake George cruise (FA 76042 SEABISKIT); Sidescan locations for orientations of gassy sediments, faults, channels, bedrock ridges, etc. seen in acoustic records; Shakedown NEECHO to test, evaluate platform and equipment and consider modifications; Collect 1.5, 3.5 and 7 kHz and sidescan data in areas surveyed by FA 76042 cruise; Test OBIP in a quiet water environment.

Type of Activity: Sampling
Seismic profiling

Information to be derived: Morphology

Summary: Sidescan sonar: 14.4 km; Airgun - 5 in.: 25.4 km; Airgun - 40 in.: 11.8 km; 7 kHz: 130 km; Piston cores: 14; Van Veen grabs: 5.
