return to Mapping Results: Seismic stratigraphy - Thickness and Distribution of Modern Sediment

Figure 17. Map showing the thickness of modern surficial sediment accumulation. Measurements of surficial sediment lenses within CHIRP seismic data were used to generate this isopach grid. Thickness values are presented in meters (assuming a seismic velocity of 1500 m/s.) White areas indicate surficial sediment measurements of less than 0.5 m.
