Alternate Leg ID: 1976 Area of Operations: Lake Ontario, New York, United States, Ontario, Canada, North America, North Atlantic Dates: April 19, 1976 to April 30, 1976 Chief scientist: Deborah 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. USGS Project Number:
