Summary

In May 2017 and July 2018, continuous resistivity profiling (CRP) surveys were collected in Goose Pond at the Callahan Mine site. CRP tool was used to characterize the resistivity of the water column and subbottom layers. For this investigation, 11 electrodes spaced 10 m apart and mounted in a streamer were towed behind the boat. The first two electrodes, closest to the boat, were used to inject current into the water and subbottom materials, and eight electrical potential measurements were made using the remaining nine electrodes in dipole-dipole configuration. With this system, a complete suite of measurements is collected every 2.8 seconds. Because the boat was moving at a slow rate of speed, a complete measurement is taken while [...]

Purpose

The geophysical data were collected to characterize mine waste and glaciomarine deposits in and around the site of the former Callahan Mine in Brooksville, Maine. Continuous seismic profiling methods can provide the depth to the water bottom and delineate the depth and topography of the bedrock surface and subbottom layers.
