Dataset name Equipment Description Dataset contact
Minisparker seismic-reflection data collected offshore of San Diego and Los Angeles Counties, southern California SIG 2Mille sparker system This dataset includes raw and processed, high-resolution seismic-reflection data collected in 2011 to collect information on active offshore faults. The survey area is offshore southern California between Long Beach and San Diego. The data were collected aboard the U.S. Geological Survey R/V Parke Snavely. The seismic-reflection data were acquired using a SIG 2mille minisparker system. Subbottom acoustic penetration spanned tens to several hundreds of meters, variable by location and equipment type.

Chirp seismic-reflection data collected offshore of San Diego and Los Angeles Counties, southern California Edgetech SB-05121 Chirp system This dataset includes raw and processed, high-resolution seismic-reflection data collected in 2011 to collect information on active offshore faults. The survey area is offshore southern California between Long Beach and San Diego. The data were collected aboard the U.S. Geological Survey R/V Parke Snavely. The seismic-reflection data were acquired using an EdgeTech 512 subbottom profiler. Subbottom acoustic penetration spanned tens to about 50 meters, variable by location. Ray W Sliter
