Large amounts of waste material from copper mining, locally known as “stamp sands,” were dumped into the lake in the early 20th century, with wide-reaching consequences that have continued into the present. Mapping was focused offshore of the town of Gay on the Keweenaw Peninsula of Michigan, where ongoing erosion and re-deposition of the stamp sands has buried miles of native, white-sand beaches. Stamp sands are also encroaching onto Buffalo Reef, a large area of cobble/boulder substrate that supports productive fisheries in the lake. The objectives of this cooperative mapping project are to develop a framework for scientific research and provide baseline information required for management of resources within the coastal zone of northern Michigan. High-resolution bathymetry and backscatter data reveal the irregular topography of the shallow, cobble-covered Buffalo Reef and the relatively smooth surface of finer-grained sediment that covers adjacent, deeper parts of the lake floor. Previous research used numerous sediment samples to determine the general distribution of mine tailings on the lake floor in this area, but little information exists on the extent and thickness of the surficial deposits. The main priority of this project is to image the near-surface stratigraphy, specifically the thickness of surficial sand and mud that threaten to cover the reef, with seismic-reflection profiling systems. In addition to continuous coverage of bathymetric and backscatter data, this report includes a dense grid of closely spaced seismic profiles, which will guide efforts to mitigate the environmental impacts of the shifting stamp sands. Purpose: This dataset contains 500 shot point interval navigation for approximately 120.9 km of single-channel boomer, seismic-reflection data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey during cruise 2018-043-FA along Traverse Bay, Lake Superior. This information allows for spatial correlation of boomer seismic-reflection profiles images with other geophysical and sample data for investigating lake-floor morphology and stratigraphy in the area.

Browse_Graphic_File_Type: jpg Data_Quality_Information: Logical_Consistency_Report: Boomer seismic-reflection profile data were collected on 9/15/2018 (JD258) between 17:24 and 20:41 (UTC), 9/16/18 (JD259 between 13:52 and 21:33 (UTC), 9/17/2018 (JD260) between 14:16 and 18:34 (UTC) . Line numbering begins with l1f1 and ends with l21f1. The attribute field 'ImageName' lists the PNG profile image included in "2018-043-FA_Boomer_Images.zip" (available from the larger work citation) that corresponds to each line feature. One image exists for each feature. Completeness_Report: The boomer system was not deployed, and thus data were not collected after 9/17/2019 (JD260). Sections of tracklines where navigation was recorded but no seismic data were logged are not included such as SonarWiz acquisition failures, during testing, some turns, and very short files. Line files l13f1 and l13f2 were not processed because navigation was not available for these files. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The Applied Acoustics AA251 boomer plate was mounted to a catamaran and was towed from the starboard quarter of the R/V Rafael. The boomer plate was located approximately 0.25 meters below the water line, and 8.0 meters astern of the DGPS antenna mounted atop the port side of the cabin roof. Navigation data were collected using a Hemisphere Differential GPS (DGPS) receiver. Positioning data were recorded using Chesapeake Technology SonarWiz (v 7.00.0009) acquisition software, which logged positioning coordinates to individual trace headers SEG-Y format. DGPS horizontal positional accuracy is assumed to be within 2 m; the 8 meter layback position of the boomer plate relative to the DGPS antenna was accounted for during processing.

The AA-251 boomer plate mounted in a catamaran was towed on the lake surface from the starboard quarter of the R/V Rafael about 8 meters aft of the DGPS antenna. The receiver, a Benthos AQ-4 single-channel hydrophone streamer, was towed from a port side davit on the R/V Rafael at approximately 2 m below the water line. The AA-251 Boomer was power with an Applied Acoutics D-700 power supply, which was set to a 100 joules at low power. The active hydrophone section was approximately 14 meters aft of the DGPS antenna that was about 8 meters aft of the DGPS antenna mounted atop the port side of the cabin. The analog output from the streamer was connected to a Geopulse receiver which was used to apply a 150 to 5000 Hz bandpass filter and set a linear gain to 16 db in shallow water and 21 db in deeper water. The analog signal was output to a NI DAQ analog to digital converter. The digital signal was input to the acquisition computer where Chesapeake Technology SonarWiz (version 7.00.0009) seismic acquisition software was used to digitally log trace data in the SEG-Y Rev. 1 format (IEEE floating point), and record DGPS navigation coordinates to the SEG-Y trace headers (in arc seconds of Latitude and Longitude, multiplied by a scalar of 360000). Data were acquired using a 500 milliseconds (ms) shot rate. Traces were recorded with a 100-microsecond sample interval over lengths of approximately 200 ms (2000 samples per trace). Process_Step: Process_Description: PROCESS STEP 1: SIOSEIS (version 2015.3.1), Seismic Unix (version 4.2), and Shearwater Reveal (version 2019) were used to process SEG-Y data, create navigation files, and plot images. The processing flow and scripts used to produce navigation files including trackline shapefiles are summarized below and in the following processing steps. 1) The Seismic Unix script readboomer was used to read the SEG-Y files, write a Seismic Unix file, and extract SEG-Y trace header information, including shot number, longitude and latitude, year, Julian day, and time of day (UTC). Header information from each SEG-Y file was saved to text files containing shots with unique navigation coordinates. Geographic coordinates (WGS 84) were converted to UTM zone 16 N coordinates (WGS 84) using Proj (version 4.9.3). An Esri shapefile was generated from the ascii shot navigation file with ArcCatalog (version 10.3.1) using Create Feature Class from XY Table. When the shapefile was added to an ArcMap project, observation of shot point locations showed uneven spacing. Even when the boat speed was relatively constant, shot spacing ranged from less than one meter to as much as five meters. This was likely due to the high rate (10 Hz) that the GPS was providing navigation strings to SonarWiz. Shot spacing would be anomalously short (less than one meter) for several shots and then jump ahead several meters. This may have been caused by a buffering and recording issues in SonarWIZ. The unique shot point navigation shape file was edited in ArcMap by graphically deleting anomalous shot points with distances from the last shot location was less than one meter. The first and last shot point locations were retained. The edited shapefile was exported to an ascii CSV file using XTools Pro (version 12) Table Operations, Export Table to File. This file was reformated to a SIOSEIS navigation file using and AWK (version 20070501) script. 2) SIOSEIS was used to read the raw SEG-Y files, insert edited shot point navigation that was created in the previous step into the SEG-Y trace headers with the process Geom (type 6), and then write new SEG-Y files with the edited navigation in the trace headers. 3) Shearwater Reveal was used to read the SEG-Y files containing edited navigation that used SegyTapeRead to read the trace and header data. HeaderMath and UTMLatLong were used to convert the source lat/lon positions from seconds of arc to decimal degrees, project them to UTM Zone 16N WGS 84 meters, and write each to new header words (NRP_LAT, NRP_LON, NRP_X, and NRP_Y). DBWrite wrote the UTM positions for the first channel of each FFID to an internal Reveal database table. Finally, Output wrote the traces to a new file "*.sht-raw.seis" in the internal OpenCPS format. 4) Shearwater Reveal was used to read the sht-raw.seis files and apply a top mute above the lake floor, apply a bandpass filter from 200 Hz to 2000 Hz, and apply a de-spike to remove high amplitude noise spikes created by the T20P multibeam. The processed file was saved as new file, *.proc.seis in the internal OpenCPS format. 5) Shearwater Reveal was used to read the "*.proc.seis" file. A custom Python module ShotlineLayback (developed by Nathan Miller of USGS-WHCMSC) was used to define the measured horizontal offset between the DGPS antenna and the boomer source (-8 m) and the horizontal offset from the DGPS antenna and the single-channel streamer (receiver). The algorithm interpolated a sail line from the source shot positions (NRP_X and NRP_Y), receiver positions (REC_X and REC_Y), and the midpoint locations (MPT_X and MPT_Y) locations between source and receiver locations. Then the computed layback positions for the midpoint locations were translated back along the sail line by the measured offset. Output wrote the shifted traces to a new SEG-Y files in which the trace header words SRC_X, SRC_Y represent the calculated layback coordinates, and REC_X, REC_Y maintain the original DGPS coordinates. 6) The Seismic Unix script readboomer was used to read layback corrected SEG-Y files, write a Seismic Unix file, and extract SEG-Y trace header information, including shot number, pre-layback and layback longitude and latitude, year, Julian day, and time of day (UTC). Header information from each SEG-Y file was saved to text files after an AWK (version 20070501) filter was used to maintain the first and last shots, shots at multiples of 100, 500, and shots with unique navigation coordinates. Geographic coordinates (WGS 84) were converted to UTM zone 16 N coordinates (WGS 84) using Proj (version 4.9.3). End shots and shots at multiples of 100 may not have unique navigation coordinates. Separate text files containing the first and last shots and even 500 shot intervals were also saved. A 500 shot interval was chosen because it corresponds to the annotation interval provided along the top of the seismic-reflection profile images. A Python script BoomerinlbtoSQL2018043.py, written by Wayne Baldwin (USGS-WHCMSC), which imported the CSV files to a Spatialite (version 2.7) enabled SQLite (version 3) database, creating two tables containing point geometries for the unique and 500 shot interval navigation. The script also created line geometries from the unique navigation (sorted by LineName and Shot) and wrote them to an additional database table. The tracklines are based on all the shot navigation. These process steps and all subsequent process steps were conducted by the same person - David Foster.
