Title:
SEG-Y format of boomer seismic-reflection profiles collected in the Pulley Ridge study area 2001
Abstract:
These seismic data were collected to infer the paleodepositional environment of Pulley Ridge through seismic facies analysis. Without actual rock cores, remote sensing is the next best tool. It was uncertain if Pulley Ridge represented a drowned reef or paleoshoreline. Through seismic imaging, it was determined from the high-amplitude, level-bedded nature of material in the sub-surface that Pulley Ridge represents several stages of barrier-island development.

  6. How does the data set represent geographic features?
    1. How are geographic features stored in the data set?
      This is a Raster data set. It contains the following raster data types:
      • Dimensions 1219 x 6205 x 1, type Pixel
    2. What coordinate system is used to represent geographic features?
  7. How does the data set describe geographic features?
    Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
    These images are intended only as previews of the seismic-reflection data. In each image, the x-axis represents shot point and the y-axis is two-way travel time in seconds. Although these images are not georeferenced, the images can be related to the seismic tracklines and shotpoint navigation which are both available in shapefile format.

Why was the data set created?

These data were collected to describe the shallow subsurface geologica framework of the area where deep-water corals are known to occur.

How was the data set created?

  1. From what previous works were the data drawn?
  2. How were the data generated, processed, and modified?
    Date: unknown (process 1 of 7)
    Seismic data were collected in 1996 (lines 47 and 48) and 2001 (line 23-32 and line 34). The 1996 data were collected with an ORE boomer sled, Geopulse power supply (operating at 375 Joules), an ITI streamer, and logged onto an Elics acquisition system. Navigation was acquired with a DGPS system. The data collected in 2001 were collected with a Huntec boomer sled, Applied Acoustics power supply (operating at 375 Joules), an ITI streamer, and logged onto an Elics acquisition system. Navigation was acquired with a DGPS system.
    Date: unknown (process 2 of 7)
    The SEG-Y files were processed and converted to JPEG images using SeismicUnix software.
    Date: 29-Mar-2017 (process 3 of 7)
    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.). Attempted to modify http to https where appropriate. The link to the larger work citation had to be fixed. The standard order process section in the Distribution section was incomplete and had to be modified to meet the standard - which included adding a link to the data. Added ISO 19115 Topic Category keywords. 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.
