Summary

This data release contains 41 chirp sub-bottom profiles that were collected in February of 2016 from the Catalina Basin offshore southern California by the U.S. Geological Survey Pacific and Coastal Marine Science Center in cooperation with the University of Washington. Data were collected aboard the University of Washington’s R/V Thomas G. Thompson on USGS cruise 2016-616-FA. Chirp profiles were collected to image the Catalina and San Clemente fault systems as well as the San Gabriel Canyon system.

Purpose

Data were acquired to support USGS geologic hazards projects to aide hazard assessment of southern California’s offshore Catalina and San Clemente fault zones. Data collection was funded by UW Student Ship Funds. High-resolution multichannel seismic-reflection data, high-resolution multibeam bathymetry, and backscatter data (Dartnell and others, 2017) were collected coincidentally. These data and information are intended for science researchers, students from elementary through college, policy makers, and general public.
