Digital single-channel seismic-reflection data from Western Santa Monica Basin

During a collaborative project in 1992, a Canadian Geological Survey cruise obtained about
850 line-km of high-quality boomer and sleeve-gun reflection profiles across Hueneme, Mugu
and Dume submarine fans, Santa Monica Basin, off southern California. The goals of this work
were to better understand the processes that lead to the formation of sandy submarine fans and
the role of sea-level changes in controlling fan development.

This report includes a trackline map of the area surveyed, as well as images of the sleeve-gun
profiles and the opportunity to download both images and digital data files (SEG-Y) of all the
profiles.
