The Gulf of Mexico GIS database is intended to organize and display USGS held data and provide on-line (WWW) access to the data and/or metadata. Purpose: This ArcView GIS layer contains a summary of the locations, depths, and lengths of the cores collected aboard the R/V FARNELLA 90-4 cruise from 12 -26 April 1990. The cores were collected from the eastern Gulf of Mexico to study depositional processes on the Mississippi Fan and along the base of the Florida Escarpment. Cores were collected with either a piston or gravity corer and were all less than 6.55 m in length. This information has been imported from a publication by Paskevich et al. (2001). Further discussion of the information can be found in Nelson et al. (1992).

This is necessary to enable the metadata to be successfully harvested for various data catalogs. In some cases, this meant adding text "Information unavailable" or "Information unavailable from original metadata" for those required fields that were left blank. Other minor edits were probably performed (title, publisher, publication place, etc.). The link to the larger work citation in the Identification_Information section had to be fixed. The source information was incomplete and had to be modified to meet the standard. The metadata date (but not the metadata creator) was edited to reflect the date of these changes. The metadata available from a harvester may supersede metadata bundled within a download file. Compare the metadata dates to determine which metadata file is most recent.
