Description This archive consists of marine seismic reflection profile data collected in four survey areas from southeast of Charleston Harbor to the mouth of the North Edisto River of South Carolina. These data were acquired June 26 - July 1, 1996, aboard the R/V G.K. Gilbert. Included here are data in a variety of formats including binary, American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII), Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML), Portable Document Format (PDF), Rich Text Format (RTF), Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) and Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) images, and shapefiles. Binary data are in Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) SEG-Y format and may be downloaded for further processing or display. Reference maps and GIF images of the profiles may be viewed with a web browser. The Geographic Information Systems (GIS) map documents provided were created with Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) GIS software ArcView 3.2 and 8.1. For more information on the seismic surveys see http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/g/g196sr/html/g-1-96-sr.meta.html These data are also available via GeoMapApp (http://www.geomapapp.org/) and Virtual Ocean ( http://www.virtualocean.org/) earth science exploration and visualization applications.

Trackline map of all boomer seismic reflection data collected during USGS Cruise 96CCT01. These data were collected in four survey areas from southeast of Charleston Harbor to the mouth of the North Edisto River of South Carolina in June and July of 1996. This map is set in geographic coordinates, WGS84 (unprojected) and was created at a scale of 1:250,000. It was created using ESRI GIS software ArcView 3.2 and 8.1, exported to Adobe Illustrator for further editing, and saved for the web in JPEG format. The USGS is not the originator of all layers used in creating the maps presented in this archive. The state and cities layers are ESRI data sets. The roads layer is an ESRI/Geographic Data Technology, Inc. (GDT) data set. The coastline layer is a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Geodetic Survey data set.
