Chirp seismic-reflection data collected in the San Pedro Basin, offshore of southern California, from 2009-07-06 to 2009-07-10 (USGS field activity S-5-09-SC)

This dataset includes raw and processed, high-resolution seismic-reflection data collected in 2009 to explore a possible connection between the San Diego Trough Fault and the San Pedro Basin Fault. The survey is in the San Pedro Basin between Santa Catalina Island and San Pedro, California. The data were collected aboard the U.S. Geological Survey R/V Parke Snavely. The seismic-reflection data were acquired using an EdgeTech 512 chirp subbottom profiler. Subbottom acoustic penetration spanned tens to about 50 meters, variable by location.
