Phase II (see
MISSRIV08 for Phase I) of a collaborative effort between the University of Memphis and University of Texas at Austin, this 2010 survey and the subsequent 2011 survey (
MISSRIV11) on the M/V
Strong collected high-resolution seismic reflection data and CHIRP data along the Mississippi River. The goal was to image the New Madrid Seismic Zone active fault system and a series of inferred faults suspected to be responsible for earthquake induced liquefaction features predating the seismic activity of the New Madrid Seismic Zone.
