Chirp sub-bottom data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in May of 2021 along the Palos Verdes Fault Zone in San Pedro Bay and San Pedro Channel. MCS data were acquired coincident with chirp sub-bottom data.

Chirp sub-bottom data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in collaboration with the University of Washington (UW) in the summer of 2019 along the Cascadia submarine forearc offshore Oregon and Washington.

Chirp sub-bottom data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in July and August 2017 to expand data coverage along the Queen Charlotte Fault system in the Yakobi Sea Valley of southeast Alaska.

High-resolution chirp sub-bottom data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in July of 2018 between Point Conception and Coal Oil Point in the Santa Barbara Channel, California. Data were collected aboard the USGS R/V Parke Snavely during field activity 2018-645-FA, using an EdgeTech SB-512i sub-bottom profiler. Sub-bottom acoustic penetration spans several tens of meters and is variable by location.

In June 2024, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted a nearshore geologic assessment, including bathymetric mapping, near Wallops and Assawoman Islands, Virginia (VA). This work was performed to collect bathymetry to initialize hydrodynamic models and acquire new sub-bottom profile data to connect with existing USGS offshore lines collected along the Delmarva Peninsula, Maryland and VA, in 2015 (Sweeney and others, 2015). These newly acquired datasets will be used to help evaluate impacts of shoreface engineering activities on system ecogeomorphology. Geophysical data were collected as part of the USGS Interconnected Coastal Environments at Decadal Timescales and Coastal Sediment Availability and Flux (CSAF) projects; more information about the CSAF project can be found at https://usgs.gov/csaf. The data release associated with this metadata record serves as an archive of high-resolution chirp sub-bottom trace data and navigation files. Shapefiles (.shp) provided in the data release represent point and polyline vector datasets of Field Activity Number (FAN) 2024-310-FA chirp sub-bottom profile tracklines, start of lines, and 1,000-shot-interval locations.
