| Survey Equipment | Survey Info | Data Type(s) | Data Collected |
|---|---|---|---|
| 512 chirp | --- | Sub Bottom Profiler | Chirp sub-bottom data collected in the Santa Barbara Channel in July of 2018 (High-resolution chirp sub-bottom data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in July of 2018 between Point Conception and Coal Oil Point in the Santa Barbara Channel, California. Data were collected aboard the USGS R/V Parke Snavely during field activity 2018-645-FA, using an EdgeTech SB-512i sub-bottom profiler. Sub-bottom acoustic penetration spans several tens of meters and is variable by location.) |

| minisparker | --- | Sparker | Multichannel minisparker seismic-reflection data collected in the Santa Barbara Channel in July of 2018 (High-resolution multichannel minisparker seismic-reflection data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in July of 2018 between Point Conception and Coal Oil Point in the Santa Barbara Channel, California. Data were collected aboard the USGS R/V Parke Snavely during field activity 2018-645-FA, using SIG 2-mille minisparker and recorded using an 8-channel Geometrics digital hydrophone streamer. Sub-bottom acoustic penetration spans several hundreds of meters and is variable by location.) |
