Description:

Abstract:

A large number of high-resolution geophysical surveys between Cape Hatteras and Georges Bank have been conducted by federal, state, and academic institutions since the turn of the century. A major goal of these surveys is providing a continuous view of bathymetry and shallow stratigraphy at the shelf edge in order to assess levels of geological activity during the current sea level highstand. In 2012, chirp seismic-reflection data was collected by the U.S. Geologial Survey aboard the motor vessel Tiki XIV near three United States mid-Atlantic margin submarine canyons. These data can be used to further our understanding of passive continental margin processes during the Holocene, as well as providing valuable information regarding potential submarine geohazards. For more information on the U.S. Geological Survey involvement in this effort, see https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2012-005-FA.

Purpose:

To provide a log detailing the acquisition of data by the U.S. Geological Survey during the 2012 chirp survey of Baltimore, Washington, and Norfolk Canyons aboard the M/V Tiki XIV. This includes details on missing files, as well as which HYPACK files correspond to which chirp SEG-Y files.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

This is the original ship's log recorded by watchstanders during the survey 2012-005-FA. These notes were checked but no modifications or corrections have been made to this file.

Completeness_Report:

This file represents all notes recorded during the USGS survey 2012-005-FA (which may also be referred to in the old field activity number style as 12005). This is a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet for survey data that was released in USGS Open-File Report (number placeholder) from Baltimore, Washington, and Norfolk Canyons.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Edits to the metadata were made to fix any errors that MP v 2.9.36 flagged. 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.). Added the DOI link as the first link in the identification section. The link to the data in the Identification_Information section had to be fixed. The link to the data in the Distribution_Information section had to be fixed. Updated the link to the field activity. 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.
