These seismic data were collected to infer the paleodepositional environment of Pulley Ridge through seismic facies analysis. Without actual rock cores, remote sensing is the next best tool. It was uncertain if Pulley Ridge represented a drowned reef or paleoshoreline. Through seismic imaging, it was determined from the high-amplitude, level-bedded nature of material in the sub-surface that Pulley Ridge represents several stages of barrier-island development.

R/V San Lorenzo (receive vessel) navigation and survey geometry from USGS field activity 2021-619-FA collected in April of 2021 offshore Santa Cruz, CA

Navigation data were recorded for the R/V San Lorenzo (RVSL; receive vessel) during USGS field activity 2021-619-FA in April of 2021 off the coast of Santa Cruz, California. Data were collected as the RVSL maintained a nearly stationary position at the midpoint along seven depth site transects in water depths ranging between 25 and 600 meters while the R/V Parke Snavely (RVPS; source vessel) towed a sparker sound source along the transects. Navigation data and survey geometry information (offset distances ...

R/V Parke Snavely (source vessel) navigation and survey geometry from USGS field activity 2021-619-FA collected in April of 2021 offshore Santa Cruz, CA

Navigation data were recorded for the R/V Parke Snavely (RVPS; source vessel) during USGS field activity 2021-619-FA in April of 2021 off the coast of Santa Cruz, California. Data were collected as the RVPS towed a marine sparker sound source along seven depth site transects in water depths ranging between 25 and 600 meters. The R/V San Lorenzo (RVSL; receive vessel) maintained a nearly stationary position at the midpoint along the seven depth site transects and recorded sound with a calibrated hydrophone. ...
