Abstract:
This CD-ROM contains copies of the 250m resolution GLORIA sidescan sonar mosaic for the Gulf of Mexico and it's geologic interpretation. The imagery and interpretation have been archived here to preserve this legacy data set. The data are intended to be GIS-ready in as much as the data do not require any additional cleanup, formatting, renaming of fields or other "data work" to use the data in the GIS of choice. This project used Environmental Systems Research Institute's (ESRI) ARC/INFO and associated products. This does not mean that the user will not wish to do additional processing, especially if they are utilizing a different GIS oftware package or spheroid, but that it is not necessary to do additional processing simply to utilize the data in its minimum archive format.
Purpose:
This CD-ROM contains copies of the 250m resolution GLORIA sidescan sonar mosaic for the Gulf of Mexico and it's geologic interpretation. The imagery and interpretation have been archived here to preserve this legacy data set. Imagery and available data coverages have been archived for use with Earth System Research Institute's (ESRI's) ArcView program.
