Thumbnail image for Figure 4, photograph of electronic instruments, and link to larger image. Figure 4. The Continuous resistivity profile (CRP) data acquisition system included the AGI SuperSting R8 Resistivity Meter (foreground) and the display screen of the Lowrance GPS-enabled fathometer.

Thumbnail image for Figure 5, photograph of instruments on the side of the ship, and link to a larger image. Figure 5. Seismic source and receiver attached to the port side of the survey vessel and pivoted out of the water during transit. The instrument shown on the right side of the blue bucket on the deck was used to measure the conductivity and temperature of surface water, which was pumped continuously into the bucket during surveying.
