GIS:

An Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) ArcView 3.2a Geographic Information System (GIS) project file resides in the top-level directory of this CD. All associated GIS files are contained within the data directory. The user must have a copy of ESRI ArcView 3.2 or 3.3 in order to view the project file. Visit the ESRI website (http://www.esri.com) for information concerning this, and other software. For those users who do not have ArcView 3.2 or later, the individual GIS data files can still be viewed with a compatible GIS viewer, or a free GIS viewer - ArcExplorer. This GIS data viewer is available from ESRI (http://www.esri.com). Please note that the ArcExplorer software is limited to the Microsoft Windows operating systems and some UNIX operating systems.

ZIP files:

This CD contains several files compressed using the Windows program WINZIP v 8.0. For those users who do not have software capable of uncompressing files of this format, software may be obtained from www.winzip.com or www.pkzip.com.

Image files:

Image files of the sidescan-sonar mosaics are available as MrSid images and can be viewed outside the GIS with a free image viewer available from LizardTech. These mosaics are also available as TIFF images, which are viewable with a variety of software programs. JPEG images of seismic-reflection profiles are also available. These images can be viewed within the GIS, or with a variety of software programs.
