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

Alternate Leg ID: NE-06

Area of Operations: Nauset Inlet, Chatham Inlet, Coast Guard Beach, Massachusetts, United States, North America, North Atlantic

Dates: September 27, 1979 to October 3, 1979

Chief scientist: Dave Twichell
David Aubrey - WHOI

Objectives: Sidescan sonar and high resolution seismic profiling were done in the nearshore zone (3-30 m water depth) off Nauset Inlet and Coast Guard Beach to map the types and extent of nearshore bedforms and to define the late Pleistocene and Holocene history of the area.

Type of Activity: Seismic profiling
Sidescan sonar

Information to be derived:

Summary: Collected 32 lines of seismic and sidescan profiles. Uniboom data: 153 km; Sidescan sonar data: 153 km; Echo-sounder data: 153 km; Grab samples: 27.
