Regional Geology of the Southern Lake Erie (Ohio) Bottom: A Seismic Reflection and Vibracore Study.

Abstract

The southern part of the Ohio waters of Lake Erie between Conneaut and Marblehead was surveyed in August of 1977 and 1978 to acquire knowledge of the nature, distribution, and geometry of the lake deposits. Primary data consist of 576 kilometers of seismic reflection trackline profiles and 58 vibracores ranging from 0.7 to 6.1 meters long. About 23 percent of Ohio's part of Lake Erie was covered by the survey.
