- Abstract:
-
During a collaborative project in 1992, a Canadian Geological Survey cruise obtained about
850 line-km of high-quality boomer and sleeve-gun reflection profiles across Hueneme, Mugu
and Dume submarine fans, Santa Monica Basin, off southern California. The goals of this work
were to better understand the processes that lead to the formation of sandy submarine fans and
the role of sea-level changes in controlling fan development.
This report includes a trackline map of the area surveyed, as well as images of the sleeve-gun
profiles and the opportunity to download both images and digital data files (SEG-Y) of all the
profiles.
- Purpose:
-
These sleeve-gun data were collected as part of a project investigating deep-sea fans. They have
subsequently become useful to a current project working to identify the active fault systems in the
southern California coastal zone, including the continental shelf and adjacent deep basins,
that pose the greatest potential seismic hazards for the most populated urban corridor along
the U.S. Pacific margin. See <http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/cabrillo/tierra/index.html> for more
information. This report is prepared to make these data available to science researchers,
students, and other interested parties.

-
Reference the full report for a description of data coverage. All sleeve-gun data collected
on the referenced cruise have been included in this report. Some seismic profiles have gaps
in them due to system crashes or hardware maintenance.

-
- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
-
- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
-
Shot point numbers in the data files correspond to those in the navigation files. The
horizontal positional accuracy of the seismic data thus linked to ship's position is
estimated to be within 30 meters. See Appendix for details of navigational system used.

Depths shown in the seismic data files are in milliseconds (round trip travel time) and
are referenced to sea level.
