Description:

Abstract:

Lake Mohave is one of several multi-purpose reservoirs that have been constructed on the Colorado River. The lake was formed upon completion of the Davis Dam in 1953. No mapping of the floor of the lake had been conducted since completion of the Davis Dam. The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with researchers from the University of Nevada Las Vegas, completed a geophysical survey of this lake in April 2002. The survey included collection of sidescan sonar imagery of nearly the entire lake floor, and high-resolution seismic-reflection profiles along widely spaced lines throughout the lake. The detailed mapping of the lake floor was used to determine the amount of sediment that had accumulated in the lake since impoundment, its distribution, and the processes of deposition.

Purpose:

The chirp seismic-reflection data were used to determine the amount and distribution of sediment that had accumulated in Lake Mohave since impoundment of the Colorado River at Davis Dam.

These data are also available via GeoMapApp (http://www.geomapapp.org/) and Virtual Ocean ( http://www.virtualocean.org/) earth science exploration and visualization applications.
The JPEG format of these data (along with other data associated with this field activity) were released through the Open-File Report 2004-1247 (https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2004/1247/). See the cross-reference for full citation information.

Process_Description:

The seismic data are Knudsen chirp seismic data. The seismic processing software package SIOSEIS was used to convert the Knudsen SEG-Y data to "true" chirp seismic data, while at the same time renumbering the traces so that each seismic data file started at shot 1 and incremented each shot by 1.

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.). Attempted to modify http to https where appropriate. Modified the data citation to add series and publication information, as well as include a landing page link. Removed the incomplete spatial reference information as it was inappropriate for this data type. Added the distribution format and link to the data in the standard order process section. 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.
