Abstract:
This part of DS 781 presents data for the sediment-thickness isopachs for the Pigeon Point to Monterey Bay, California, map region. The vector data file is included in "Isopachs_PigeonPointToMonterey.zip," which is accessible from
https://doi.org/10.5066/F7N29V0Z.
As part of the USGS's California State Waters Mapping Project, a 50-m-resolution grid of sediment thickness for the seafloor within the limit of California’s State Waters between Pigeon Point and southern Monterey Bay was generated from seismic-reflection data collected in 2009, 2010, and 2011 (USGS activities (S-15-10-NC, S-N1-09-MB, and S-06-11-MB) supplemented with outcrop and geologic structure from DS 781. Isopach contours at 2.5-meter intervals were derived from this sediment-thickness grid.
Purpose:
These data are intended for science researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public. This information is not intended for navigational purposes. The data can be used with geographic information systems (GIS) software to display geologic and oceanographic information.
