Purpose
|
To collect high-resolution seismic-reflection data from the Hueneme and
Dume submarine fans.
|
|
|
Summary
|
We were able to take advantage of the transit of the
Canadian ship Parizeau, from Pacific to Atlantic Geoscience Centres,
by using a few extra days en route to survey submarine fans.
The goals were to better understand the processes
that lead to the formation of sandy submarine fans and
the role of sea level changes in their formation.
About 850 line km of high-quality Huntec DTS and
sleeve-gun reflection profiles were obtained of
Hueneme, Mugu and Dume submarine fans, Santa Monica Basin,
off southern California.
The data showed for the first time the detailed distribution of
sand bodies on a modern sandy submarine fan.

Notes
|
Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) -
USGS Coop cruise run by GSC.
Dates are of data collection,
not including transit to and from ports.
Analog materials: Original records held at GSC,
Normark has a set of copies.
Digital files: navigation, bathymetry,
seismic (Huntec and sleeve-gun) held by USGS.
