Description:
Abstract:
This data publication is a compilation of six different multibeam surveys covering the previously unmapped Queen Charlotte Fault offshore southeast Alaska and Haida Gwaii, Canada. These data were collected between 2005 and 2018 under a cooperative agreement between the U.S. Geological Survey, Natural Resources Canada, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The six source surveys from different multibeam sonars are combined into one terrain model with a 30-meter resolution. A complementary polygon shapefile records the extent of each source survey in the output grid.
Purpose:
This polygon shapefile records the extent of each source GeoTIFF used to create the terrain model. Areas where source polygons overlap indicate where the "blend" option during the mosaic process calculated the depth.
