Information to be Derived: Shallow geologic framework

Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Of the 44 boomer tracklines collected, only 10 (tx715_29 - tx715_38) could be rescued from the original magneto-optical (MO) discs. The remaining analog printouts were scanned as TIFF images and converted to digital SEG-Y files using CTI's ImageToSEGY software.
