Distribution of surficial sediments in Ohio's nearshore (Lake Erie) as interpreted from sidescan sonar and 3.5 kHz subbottom data

Abstract

Side scan sonar and 3.5 kHz subbottom data were collected along 1,570 km of tracklines from 1993 to 1995. Interpretations of the data were used to map the distribution of nearshore surficial sediments between 500 meters and 3.5 kilometers from shore. Sediment distribution mapping was extended to shore using interpretations of surficial sediments from bathymetric profiles that were run in the 1970's from the shore out to 600
