Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: physical data holdings Approximately 900 km of 24-fold Common Depth Point (CDP) seismic-reflection, gravity, magnetic gradiometer, and 3.5 and 12.5 kHz echo-sounding data were collected for the continental margin of Wilkes Land, Antarctica. Gravity and bathymetric data were also collected for the transit line between Wilkes Land and New Zealand. The data were collected in 1984 by the U.S. Geological Survey R/V S.P. LEE. The seismic data source was a 5- airgun array totaling 1,311 cu. in., pressurized to 2,000 psi, towed at a depth of 10.5 m. The receiver consisted of a 24- channel hydrophone streamer, with 100-m group lengths containing 60 hydrophones i each group. The near channel offset from the airguns was 297 m. The data were recorded with a GUS Model HDRR- 4200 recording system. The magnetic gradiometer data were recorded continuously with a Geometrics proton-precession marine gradiometer. Two proton-precession magnetometers, separated horizontally by 150 m, were towed aft of the ship. The near sensor was towed 300 m aft, and both sensors were towed at a depth of approximately 50 m. Data were measured at 4-sec intervals. The gravity data were recorded continuously with a LaCoste and Romberg sea gravimeter on a 2-axis stabilized platform. Data were collected at 20-sec intervals and later desampled to 2 min or greater for plotting and modeling.
