| Purpose | Acquire high-resolution multichannel seismic profiles along the Queen Charlotte Fault System to better understand earthquake and tsunami hazards throughout the SE Alaska region. | ||||||||
| Location | Southeastern Alaska continental slope | ||||||||
| Summary | Chirp, MCS, and sonobuoy line data submitted to FAD. Collected 3000 km of high-resolution multichannel sparker profiles, 300 km of subbottom Chirp profiles and one 80 km sonobuoy profile. | ||||||||
| Info derived | Fault structure, deformation history, seismic stratigraphy, and assessments of slope stability | ||||||||
