Summary
In 2015 the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center (PCMSC) in cooperation with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG) collected bathymetry and acoustic backscatter data offshore Cross Sound in southeast Alaska using an Reson 7111 multibeam echosounder mounded to the ADFG R/V Solstice. The survey was conducted to map the offshore expression of the Queen Charlotte fault system that runs for approximately 500 kilometers off the coast of southeast Alaska and British Columbia. This data release provides the processed multibeam line files in GSF format.
