Purpose 
Collection of high-resolution seismic-reflection profiles offshore of Los
Angeles, CA to assess neotectonic activity (recency of fault motion and
potential for earthquake and tsunami hazards)
Information to be Derived 
Location of active faults and other evidence of active seafloor deformation.
Stratigraphy of basin sediments.
