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. A two week cruise aboard the R/V GYRE focused on mapping surficial sedimentary processes and their connection to the subsurface geology. The study area was on the upper continental slope in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico; an area of active hydrocarbon exploration. Active salt movement, hydrocarbon movement up faults, the presence of gas hydrates associated with biogenic and thermogenic methane, and overpressured sand deposits all present hazards to oil exploration in this area. This study used sidescan sonar and high-resolution chirp subbottom profiling techniques to map the surficial and shallow subsurface expression of these processes in two areas roughly 15 by 25 km in size. High-resolution multi-channel seismic-reflection data were collected simultaneously with the sidescan imagery to provide a link to the deeper subsurface. Additional multi-channel and Huntec seismic data were collected along regional lines between the detailed study areas to tie these studies to other areas of known hydrates and to wells where shallow overpressured sands have been drilled. The detailed studies attempted to map entire geological systems in this upper slope environment to provide a broader perspective than can be seen from studying a single lease block. One study area focused on two adjacent salt withdrawal basins to assess the processes that are shaping the flanks of the basins, the processes affecting sedimentation in the basin floors, and to compare the deeper structures and surficial processes between the basins. The second study area focused on three salt domes, the processes associated with them, and how they affect the shallow subsurface stratigraphy. Initial observations suggest that most of the surface and shallow subsurface geohazards are associated with the flanks of salt structures. Here active salt movement generates faults along which hydrocarbons can escape to the seafloor, and tectonic oversteepenning generates slope failures. Purpose: This GIS data layer shows the shot points along which SIS-1000 chirp subbottom profile data and sidescan sonar data were collected along lines 1-5 of the USGS GYRE 99002 cruise. The shot point interval is 100 with the start and end shot for each line included as well. The navigation has been corrected to show the SIS-1000 vehicle location rather than the ship location (Foster and others, 2000).

No duplicate features are present. Completeness_Report: Information unavailable from original metadata. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The ship was navigated with differential GPS, and location of the deep-towed sidescan vehicle was calculated in a variety of ways. In shallow water an acoustic ranging system was used in concert with vehicle depth and ship heading to compute vehicle location. In deeper water depths where the acoustic ranging system did not work, vehicle location was calculated in one of two ways. In some places the amount of wire out was used in place of the acoustic range. In other places, vehicle location was calculated by measuring the offset between features observed on the NOAA multibeam bathymetry and the tow vehicle echo sounder. This offset was measured at several points along each track and was used to compute vehicle navigation. Vehicle location was interpolated between the measured points. Comparison of features on the surface-towed seismic data with the same features on the deep-towed seismic data indicates that the offset mostly is less than 100 m.

Slant range and sonar fish depth below the sea surface were used to calculate the layback distance (horizontal offset) between the ship and sonar fish. The fish was assumed to be directly behind the ship, given the azimuth of the ships track. Different methods were used to calculate or estimate the layback distance for different lines. Lines 1-5 of Mosaic Area One do not have acoustic ranging data available. The SEG-Y file headers contain ship position (UTM zone 15). The ASCII shotpoint navigation files contain geographic coordinates obtained by matching backscatter features on adjacent sidescan sonar lines thus adjusting for layback distance.

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.). Attempted to modify http to https where appropriate. The link to the larger work citation had to be fixed. The link to the browse graphics had to be fixed. An online link was added to the cross-reference. 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.
