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 GIS data layer contains a summary of the locations, depths, and lengths of the cores collected aboard the R/V GYRE cruise from 5-25 April 1997 (USGS, Woods Hole Field Activity 97006). The cores were collected from the Louisiana Continental Slope in the Gulf of Mexico along a feature known as Bryant Canyon. 38 cores were collected using either a piston or gravity corer, and cores ranged form 345-470 cm in length. Some of the results have been published by Twichell et al. (2000).

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 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.
