Dataset name Equipment Description Dataset contact
Multichannel sparker seismic reflection data Multichannel This data release contains processed high-resolution multichannel sparker seismic-reflection (MCS) data that were collected aboard Humboldt State University's R/V Coral Sea. MCS data were collected to characterize quaternary deformation and sediment dynamics along the southern Cascadia margin. MCS data were collected coincidentally with chirp sub-bottom data.

Chirp sub-bottom data 512 chirp This data release contains processed chirp sub-bottom data that were collected aboard Humboldt State University's R/V Coral Sea. MCS data were collected to characterize quaternary deformation and sediment dynamics along the southern Cascadia margin. Chirp sub-bottom data were collected coincident with sparker MCS data.
