    • Archive of Digital Chirp Subbottom Profile Data Collected During USGS Cruise 12BIM03 Offshore of the Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana, July 2012

    Metadata Updated: October 28, 2023

    In July of 2012, the U.S. Geological Survey conducted a geophysical survey offshore of the Chandeleur Islands, La. to investigate the geologic controls on barrier island framework. This report serves as an archive of unprocessed digital chirp subbottom data, trackline maps, navigation files, Geographic Information System (GIS) information, and formal Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) metadata. Gained digital images of the seismic profiles are also provided. The archived trace data are in standard Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) SEG Y revision 0 format (Barry and others, 1975) and may be downloaded and processed with commercial or public domain software such as Seismic Unix (SU). Examples of SU processing scripts and USGS software for viewing the SEG Y files (Zihlman, 1992) are also provided. These data are available for viewing using GeoMapApp (<http://www.geomapapp.org/>;) and Virtual Ocean (<http://www.virtualocean.org/>;) multi-platform open source software. In addition, the SEG Y files can also be downloaded from the USGS Coastal and Marine Geoscience Data System (<http://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov>;).
