Summary

Description

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. For more information on the seismic surveys see http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/p/p192sc/html/p-1-92-sc.meta.html These data are also available via GeoMapApp (http://www.geomapapp.org/) and Virtual Ocean (http://www.virtualocean.org/) earth science exploration and visualization applications.
