On October 11, 1999, Frank Manheim (USGS Reston/Woods Hole) met
with Kim Hanson (student assistant), David Krantz (WRD, Delaware),
Jim Black (Research Associate, Univ. Delaware, Newark) and Bill
Ullman (Univ. Delaware, Lewes), who is Principal Investigator of the
EPA-supported CISNET project. The participants reviewed data to be
summarized in a poster that will be presented at a WRD national
workshop in Lakewood, CO, from October 31 to November 4, 1999. The
information base consists of (1) vibracore data retrieved from Ph.D.
and M.S. theses, (2) Delaware Geological Survey core-hole data, and
(3) a comprehensive bathymetric survey of Rehoboth and Indian River
Bays from 1936, being digitized from microfilm maps by the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, Philadelphia. Laura Hayes (WHFC/ECO) is
assisting with GIS preparation.
Also discussed at the meeting was a horizontal resistivity streamer
survey to be conducted in tandem with the planned seismic profiling
of Rehoboth and Indian River Bays (John Madsen, Univ. Delaware). Dave
Krantz and Frank Manheim, along with Jeff Wynn (EMRT, Reston) who will
utilize newly developed equipment from the Zonge Corporation (Tucson,
AZ), will conduct the resistivity survey.
