Ship-based Trackline Geophysical Data (MGD77) from the Lau Back-arc Basin acquired during the Melville expedition MGLN08MV (2006)

This data set was acquired with a ship-based Navigation system, SeaBeam 2000 Multibeam Sonar system, and Gravimeter during Melville expedition MGLN08MV conducted in 2006 (Chief Scientist: Dr. David Hilton). These data files are of MGD77 format and include Navigation, Gravity Free Air Anomaly, and Gravity Field data and were processed after data collection. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Collaborative Research: Chemical, isotopic and volatile constraints on the evolution of the Lau Basin, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE04-53608.
