| Also known as | 2016 Santa Barbara Basin Geophysical Survey | ||||||||
| Purpose | Investigate the causes and consequences of submarine landslides in the Santa Barbara Basin using state-of-the-art geophysical methods | ||||||||
| Location | Santa Barbara Basin | ||||||||
| Summary | post processed data submitted 3/1/2017 water column backscatter data added 1/24/2017 GIS, POS_PAC, Reports, Reson_711, seismic, SVP and Tides Data submitted to FAD 11/09/2016 The Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center of the U.S Geological Survey (USGS) conducted a geophysical survey collecting bathymetry, acoustic-backscatter, and sparker multi-channel seismic reflection data in the Santa Barbara Channel. The work was conducted aboard the 36-foot USGS R/V Parke Snavely and aboard the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary's 62-foot R/V Shearwater out of the Santa Barbara harbor. | ||||||||
| Info derived | high-res multibeam bathymetry, seafloor backscatter, water column backscatter, seismic profiles | ||||||||
| Comments | multiplatform survey (snavely and shearwater) with multiple targets and phases of operation | ||||||||

| Acoustic-backscatter data | multichannel | These metadata describe acoustic-backscatter data collected during an October 2016 multibeam-echosounder survey of the northern portion of the Santa Barbara Channel, California. Data were collected and processed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center (PCMSC) with fieldwork activity number 2016-666-FA. The acoustic-backscatter data are provided as a GeoTIFF image. | Peter Dartnell |
| Multibeam bathymetry data | multichannel | These metadata describe bathymetry data collected during an October 2016 multibeam-echosounder survey of the northern portion of the Santa Barbara Channel, California. Data were collected and processed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center (PCMSC) with fieldwork activity number 2016-666-FA. The bathymetry data are provided as a GeoTIFF image. | Peter Dartnell |
| Multichannel minisparker seismic-reflection data | multichannel | High-resolution multichannel minkisparker seismic-reflection (MCS) profiles were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in September and October of 2016 from the northern portion of the Santa Barbara Basin offshore southern California. Data were collected aboard the USGS R/V Parke Snavely and NOAA R/V Shearwater during field activity 2016-666-FA using a SIG 2-mille minisparker and recorded using 48- or 24-channel Geometrics digital hydrophone streamer. Sub-bottom acoustic penetration spans several hundreds of meters and is variable by location. | Alicia F Balster-gee |
