Resource Abstract:
- description: The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Coastal and Marine Geology Program has actively collected geophysical and sedimentological
data in the northern Gulf of Mexico for several decades, including shallow subsurface data in the form of high-resolution
seismic-reflection profiles (HRSP). Prior to the mid-1990s most HRSP data were collected in analog format as paper rolls of
continuous profiles up to 25 meters long. A large portion of this data resides in a single repository with minimal metadata.
As part of the National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program, scientists at the USGS St. Petersburg Coastal
and Marine Science Center are converting the analog paper records to digital format using a large-format continuous scanner.
This publication serves as an archive of seismic profiles with headers, converted Society of Exploration Geophysicists Y format
(SEG-Y) files, navigation data, and geographic information system (GIS) data files for digitized boomer seismic-reflection
data collected from the Research Vessel (R/V) Erda during two cruises in 1990 and 1991. The Erda 90-1 geophysical cruise was
conducted in two legs. The first leg included seismic data collected from the Hancock County region of the Mississippi Sound
(Erda 90-1_HC) from June 4 to June 6, 1990. The second leg included seismic data collected from the Petit Bois Pass area of
Mississippi Sound (Erda 90-1_PBP) from June 8 to June 9, 1990. The Erda 91-3 cruise occurred between September 12 and September
23, 1991 and surveyed the Mississippi Sound region just west of Horn Island, Mississippi.; abstract: The U.S. Geological Survey
