[edit] Summary

This high resolution Digital Terrain Model (DTM), overlaid on an NOAA nautical chart was collected in August of 2004 by the NOAA ship Thomas Jefferson in Quicks Hole, Massachusetts. A narrow passage, Quicks Hole is heavily trafficked as the only passage between Vineyard Sound and Buzzards Bay suitable for vessels with drafts greater than 10 feet. Analysis of the data revealed giant sand waves, huge glacial erratic boulders and several uncharted wrecks. In addition to being used for updating the charts of the region, data from this survey will be used by scientists at USGS and by the Massachusetts Coastal Zone Management Program.
