Equipment Used: Other, Mini sparker, GPS, multichannel, Reson 7111, AML SV Plus
Information to be Derived: high-res multibeam bathymetry, seafloor backscatter, water column backscatter, seismic profiles
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: post processed data submitted 3/1/2017 water column backscatter data added 1/24/2017 GIS, POS_PAC, Reports, Reson_711, seismic, SVP and Tides Data submitted to FAD 11/09/2016 The Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center of the U.S Geological Survey (USGS) conducted a geophysical survey collecting bathymetry, acoustic-backscatter, and sparker multi-channel seismic reflection data in the Santa Barbara Channel. The work was conducted aboard the 36-foot USGS R/V Parke Snavely and aboard the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary's 62-foot R/V Shearwater out of the Santa Barbara harbor.
