<abstract>
United States Geological Survey, Woods Hole, Massachusetts.
Chief Scientists: Debbie Hutchinson, Ruth Jackson, Geological
Survey of Canada. Seismic profiling data (multichannel
seismic) of field activity 08010 (L-1-08-AR) in Amerasian
(Canada) Basin, Arctic Ocean from 08/21/2008 to 10/03/2008,
http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/l/l108ar/html/l-1-08-ar.meta.html.
</abstract>
<purpose>
These data and information are intended for science
researchers, students from elementary through
college, policy makers, and general public.
</purpose>
<supplinf>

Equipment Used -

multichannel seismic

43 days at sea.

Data types: Seismic

Bathymetry

*** Availability of Seismic Data - Until the date that Canada

submits its extended continental shelf limits to the Commission on

the Limits of the Continental Shelf (by December 6, 2013), the

seismic data will not be released to other researchers except by

mutual consent of both GSC and USGS.  After that date and up to

December 6, 2016, if the data have not been publicly released,

researchers interested in the data for scientific purposes can

submit a request to Natural Resources Canada (Geological Survey of

Canada, (GSC)) to obtain copies of the data.  Upon consultation with

USGS about use of the data, GSC should not unreasonably withhold

permission to use the data as long as it is for scientific purposes

and involves collaboration with GSC or USGS in their use and

publication of results.  The data should be fully publicly released

with no restrictions on its use after December 6, 2016.  Seismic

data include seismic reflection and refraction data collected using

equipment from Louis S. St. Laurent. Until public release, the

official copy of these data are held at NRCan, Earth Sciences

Sector. After public release, the data will be available through

NRCan, Earth Sciences Sector.   *** Availability of Singlebeam

Echosounder Data - Data outside of the Canadian 200-nm limit are

available through the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. Data

inside the 200-nm limit are considered proprietary under release

policy of the seismic data (see above). Until public release, the

official copy of these data will be held at DFO, Canadian

Hydrographic Service (CHS). After public release, the data will be

available through CHS.    *** Availability of Other Data -  Other

data collected during the LSSL cruise, such as navigation, gravity,

velocimeter profiles, CTD casts for water velocity, and ice imagery

are considered supporting data that are included in cruise reports

and other documentation as public information.  Theyare not

necessarily formally released but will be supplied upon request to

either GSC or CHS.

Similar information is available for thousands
of other USGS/CMG-related Activities.

If known, available are Activity-specific
navigation, gravity, magnetics, bathymetry,
seismic, and sampling data; track maps; and
equipment information; as well as summary
overviews, crew lists, and information
about analog materials.

If available, access to physical samples is
described in the "WR CMG Sample Distribution
Policy" at:
http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/programs/html/main/sample-dist-policy.html

Primary access to the USGS/CMG Information
Bank's digital data, analog data, and
metadata is provided through...
