University of Mississippi,United States Geological Survey, Menlo Park, California. Chief Scientists: Alan Cooper, Thomas McGee. Geophysical and Seismic Reflection data (Huntec, watergun, bottomseismometer, generatorinjectorgun, YoNav, 24channel) of field activity M-1-98-GM in Gulf of America (Gulf of Mexico) - Mississippi Canyon from 06/08/1998 to 06/20/1998
Location
Gulf of America (Gulf of Mexico) - Mississippi Canyon
Summary
Detailed seismic investigation of the gas hydrate stability zone in the Gulf of America (Gulf of Mexico), using a wide range of very-high frequency seismic data sampled at very high rates (16 Khz to 200 Khz)
Info derived
Geometry, structure, and stratigraphy of the hydrate zone; Reflection coefficients and estimates of physical properties of the sedimentary section.
