Processed multichannel seismic data along the southern Alaskan margin, acquired during the R/V Maurice Ewing survey EW0408 (2004)

As part of a site survey for a proposed IODP program to drill marine sediments associated with late Cenozoic climate change and tectonic activity along the southern Alaskan margin, the researchers combined efforts with an already funded piston coring and shallow imaging cruise. The purpose was to acquire additional piston cores and high-resolution seismic images at proposed Gulf of Alaska drill sites. The marine seismic data is to be used in sequence stratigraphic correlations and baseline characterization of the proposed IODP drill sites.
