Archive of Digital Chirp Subbottom Profile Data Collected During USGS Cruise 11BIM01 Offshore of the Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana, June 2011

By Arnell S. Forde, Shawn V. Dadisman, Jennifer L. Miselis, James G. Flocks, and Dana S. Wiese

Summary

From June 3 to 13, 2011, the U.S. Geological Survey conducted a geophysical survey to investigate the geologic controls on barrier island framework and long-term sediment transport along the oil spill mitigation sand berm constructed at the north end and just offshore of the Chandeleur Islands, LA. This effort is part of a broader USGS study, which seeks to better understand barrier island evolution over medium time scales (months to years). This report serves as an archive of unprocessed digital chirp subbottom data, trackline maps, navigation files, Geographic Information System (GIS) files, Field Activity Collection System (FACS) logs, and formal Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) metadata. Gained (showing a relative increase in signal amplitude) digital images of the seismic profiles are also provided.
