Chief Scientist: Dave Drake. Geophysical data (3dot5khz,
12khz, Geoprobe) of field activity S-11-78-WG in Western Gulf
of Alaska from 10/20/1978 to 10/22/1978,
<http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/s/s1178wg/html/s-11-78-wg.meta.html>.
- Supplemental_Information:

Equipment Used -
3dot5khz 3.5 khz bathymetry
12khz 12 khz bathymetry
Geoprobe
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...
