Description:
Abstract:
This part of SIM 3327 presents data for slope breaks on the offshore geologic and geomorphic map of the San Simeon map area, in the vicinity of Point Piedras Blancas, California. The vector data file is included in " SlopeBreak[0]s_SanSimeon.zip," which is accessible from <https://pubs.usgs.gov/sim/3327/data/sim3327_data_catalog.html>.
Slope breaks were delineated on the basis of integrated analysis of multibeam bathymetry, backscatter imagery (CSUMB), and high-resolution seismic-reflection profiles (Sliter and others, 2009).

Purpose:
These data are intended for science researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public. These data can be used with geographic information systems or other software to aid in assessments and mitigation of geologic hazards in the central California coastal region and to provide sufficient geologic information for land-use and land-management decisions both onshore and offshore.

This information is not intended for navigational purposes.
Read and fully comprehend the metadata prior to data use. Uses of these data should not violate the spatial resolution of the data. Where these data are used in combination with other data of different resolution, the resolution of the combined output will be limited by the lowest resolution of all the data.

This database has been approved for release and publication by the Director of the USGS. Although this database has been subjected to rigorous review and is substantially complete, the USGS reserves the right to revise the data pursuant to further analysis and review.

Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Version 6.1 (Build 7601) Service Pack 1?; ESRI ArcGIS 10.0.0.2800
Data_Quality_Information:
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Map elements were visually checked for overshoots, undershoots, duplicate features, polygon closure, and other errors by the lead authors and by the GIS technician(s) who created the digital database. Review drafts of the map were reviewed internally by at least two other geologists for consistency with basic geologic principles and general conformity to USGS mapping standards.
Completeness_Report:
Data are complete: no offshore features that could be accurately identified and represented at the compilation scale of 1:24,000 were eliminated or generalized. The smallest area represented is approximately 100 square meters. All geospatial database elements are attributed.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Slope break features were primarily mapped by interpretation of seismic reflection profile data.
Slope break features were digitized by heads-up screen digitization on to shot point picks from seismic
line navigation data - each shot point has an associated lat/long in the survey data. Error is introduced from layback, as well as from interpretation of oblique features, so horizontal accuracy of Slope break features location is estimated to be on the order of 10 to 20 meters.

Slope break features were mapped onto shot lines based on the latitude and longitude of seismic picks from Sliter and others (2009). Slope break features were then adjusted based on morphology apparent in the multibeam bathymetry data.
