This part of DS 781 presents data for bathymetry for several seafloor maps of the Offshore of Point Conception Map Area, California. The vector data file is included in "BathymetryHS_OffshorePointConception.zip," which is accessible from https://doi.org/10.5066/F7QN64XQ. Shaded-relief bathymetry of the Offshore of Point Conception map area in southern California was generated largely from acoustic-bathymetry data collected by Fugro Pelagos Inc. Acoustic mapping was completed in 2008 using a combination of 400-kHz Reson 7125, 240-kHz Reson 8101, and 100-kHz Reson 8111 multibeam echosounders. Bathymetric-lidar data was collected in the nearshore area by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Joint Lidar Bathymetry...

This part of DS 781 presents data for the habitat map of the Offshore of Gaviota Map Area, California. The vector data file is included in "Habitat_OffshoreGaviota.zip," which is accessible from https://doi.org/10.5066/F7TH8JWJ. This map shows physical marine benthic habitats in the Offshore of Gaviota map area. Marine benthic habitats represent a particular type of water quality, substrate, geomorphology, seafloor process, or any other attribute that may provide a habitat for a specific species or an assemblage of organisms. Marine benthic habitats are classified using the Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard (CMECS), developed by representatives from a consortium of federal agencies. CMECS is...

This part of DS 781 presents data for the geologic and geomorphic map of the Offshore of Gaviota Map Area, California. The vector data file is included in "Geology_OffshoreGaviota.zip," which is accessible from https://doi.org/10.5066/F7TH8JWJ. The offshore portion of the Gaviota map area largely consists of a narrow (4- to 5-km-wide), gently (about 1 degree to 1.5 degrees) offshore-dipping shelf, underlain by Neogene bedrock and Holocene sediments derived primarily from Gaviota Creek and smaller coastal watersheds draining the Santa Ynez Mountains (fig. 1-2). Holocene nearshore and shelf deposits are primarily sand (unit Qms). More coarse-grained sediments (unit Qmsc) are mainly found along the Gaviota bar, a prominent...

This part of DS 781 presents fault data for the geologic and geomorphic map of the Offshore of Gaviota map area, California. The vector data file is included in "Faults_OffshoreGaviota.zip," which is accessible from https://doi.org/10.5066/F7TH8JWJ. The southwest-striking south strand of the Santa Ynez fault obliquely cuts the shelf in the western part of the map area. As mapped onshore by Dibblee (1950, 1988a) this fault is unique among Santa Barbara fold belt structures in that it obliquely crosses the Santa Ynez Mountains and the dominant east-west structural grain. The fault was difficult to map in the offshore, even with our dense seismic-reflection data coverage, because the pre-LGM section on the shelf includes...

The vector data file is included in "Faults_OffshorePointConception.zip," which is accessible from https://doi.org/10.5066/F7QN64XQ. In the offshore faults are probably rooted in blind thrusts and backthrusts in the hanging wall above the Pitas Point-North Channel fault system.

This part of DS 781 presents data for the geologic and geomorphic map of the Offshore of Point Conception Map Area, California. The vector data file is included in "Folds_OffshorePointConception.zip," which is accessible from https://doi.org/10.5066/F7QN64XQ. In the offshore part of the map area, closely-spaced seismic-reflection profiles image many shallow, west-northwest striking folds that have variable geometry, length, amplitude, continuity, and wavelength. The Government Point syncline is the most prominent fold; the axis of this structure has been mapped onshore at Point Conception and extends into the offshore both to the west and east with a cumulative length of more than 22 km. Local thickening of post-LGM...
