Purpose
|
Marine seismic reflection data are used to image and map sedimentary and
structural features of the seafloor and subsurface. These data were acquired in
in the offshore areas between Cayucos and Pismo Beach from the nearshore (~6 m
depth) to just west of the Hosgri Fault Zone, in support of the California State
Waters Mapping Program and the Cooperative Research and Development Agreement
(CRADA) between Pacific Gas & Electric Company and the U.S. Geological Survey.
The specific objective of this seismic survey is to provide seismic reflection
images and magnetic anomaly maps of the depositional geometry of the upper 50 m
of subbottom stratigraphy in order to better understand the mechanisms of
sediment transport and deposition. Another objective of the survey is to
identify offsets in sedimentary strata and basement rocks to characterize
important fault properties. These seismic profiles provide high-quality images
with approximately 1 m of vertical resolution and up to 120 m of subbottom
penetration.
