Multichannel sparker seismic reflection data (This data release contains processed high-resolution multichannel sparker seismic-reflection (MCS) data that were collected aboard Humboldt State University's R/V Coral Sea. MCS data were collected to characterize quaternary deformation and sediment dynamics along the southern Cascadia margin. MCS data were collected coincidentally with chirp sub-bottom data.)
512 chirp-source --- Sub Bottom Profiler
512 chirp --- Sub Bottom Profiler
Chirp sub-bottom data (This data release contains processed chirp sub-bottom data that were collected aboard Humboldt State University's R/V Coral Sea. MCS data were collected to characterize quaternary deformation and sediment dynamics along the southern Cascadia margin. Chirp sub-bottom data were collected coincident with sparker MCS data.)
