Multi-Channel Seismic Shot Data from the Philippine Sea acquired during R/V Marcus G. Langseth expedition MGL0905 (2009)
This data set was acquired with the LDEO Multi-Channel Seismic system during R/V Marcus G. Langseth expedition MGL0905 conducted in 2009 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Char-Shine Liu). These data files are of SEGY format and include Multi-Channel Reflection Seismic shot data that have not been processed. Data were acquired as part of the project: TAIGER (TAiwan Integrated GEodynamics Research): Integrated Investigation of the Geodynamics of the Taiwan Orogeny. These data are cited by Lester et al., 2012, Lester and McIntosh, 2012, and Yeh et al., 2012.
