Area of Operations: eastern Long Island Sound, Connecticut, United States, North America, North Atlantic

Dates: June 2, 1989 to June 3, 1989

Chief scientist: Bob Oldale - USGS
   Ralph Lewis - LISRC, CT DEP

Objectives: To fill in some data gaps from previous cruises, and to better define the position and extent of some of the offshore moraines.

Type of Activity: Seismic profiling

Information to be derived:

Summary: Various combinations of sources and hydrophones were tried. None yielded the results required to complete this work. The data are generally poor (Huntec did better than Datasonics). Seismic lines 4 (1340 hrs., Loran line 43950, North of Plum Island) and 6 (1540 hrs., Loran line 26220) have some interesting sections. All paper records, navigation tapes and notes are archived at the Long Island Sound Resource Center, UCONN-Avery Point.
