Data_Set_Credit: This file is a subset of the original multibeam bathymetric data collected in June 2004 aboard the R/V Maurice Ewing as part of cruise EW0408 to investigate marine paleoclimatic proxies. This work was funded by the National Science Foundation ((NSF# OCE 0351089, to Powell). A Kongsberg Simrad EM-1002 multibeam echosounder was used to collect bathymetric and acoustic backscatter data.
