We thank Chandra A. Dreher of the USGS in St. Petersburg, Florida, and Allison Peters, Carlos Alonzo, and Mike Brown of the University of New Orleans for their field support during data collection. Boat captains Dave Bennett of Eckerd College, and Richard W. Young and Keith A. Ludwig of the USGS in St. Petersburg, Florida, also assisted in data collection. We are grateful to Jeffrey S. Dismukes of the USGS in St. Petersburg, Florida, for his programs that helped to edit and reformat the navigation data. This document was improved by the reviews of Christopher C. Barton and Pamela L. Sutton of the USGS in St. Petersburg, Florida.
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 stratigraphy and in assessing other submarine geologic characteristics and features. The data presented here are useful in mapping sand deposits that may be used in Louisiana beach nourishment projects. These data were collected as part of a Louisiana Sand Resources Study done in cooperation between the USGS, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, University of New Orleans, Louisiana Department of Natural Resources, and Eckerd College. This study is part of the USGS Subsidence and Coastal Change (SCC) Project.
