This work was partially funded by the St. John's River Water Management District located in Palatka, Fla. We thank Rich Young, captain of the R/V G.K. Gilbert for his help in the data collection; Dave Foster and Jenna Hill, of the USGS Seafloor Mapping Group in Woods Hole, Mass. for providing examples of their archives; Jon Childs with the USGS in Menlo Park, Calif. who provided examples of his formal metadata; Trent Faust and Rob Wertz with the USGS in St. Petersburg, Fla. for their help in the web design and technical layout of the CD-ROM; and Jack Kindinger and Peter Swarzenski also with the USGS in St. Petersburg, Fla. for their technical and editorial reviews.
Marine seismic reflection data are used to image and map sedimentary and structural features of the seafloor and subsurface. These data are useful in mapping the extent, the subsurface structure of the spring, the depths to various stratigraphic horizons, and in assessing other submarine geologic characteristics and features near Crescent Beach Spring.
Are there legal restrictions on access or use of the data?Access_Constraints: None. These data are held in the public domain.
Use_Constraints:The U.S. Geological Survey ask to be acknowledged as the originator of the data in future products or derivative research.

| Data format: | The SEG-Y standard format (Barry and others, 1975) consists of the following: A 3600-byte reel identification header with the first 3200 bytes consisting of a EBCDIC header block and a 400-byte binary header block. Both headers include information specific to line and reel number. The trace data block follows the reel identification header. The first 240 bytes of each trace block is the binary trace identification header. The seismic data samples follow the trace identification header. in format SEG-Y Size: 650 |
