This data set presents geological interpretation of lava flows generated during the 2005-2006 eruption, faults, and eruptive fissures for the 9°50'N segment of the East Pacific Rise. Interpretation was obtained based upon the compilation of multibeam bathymetric and sidescan sonar imagery data collected by AUV Sentry in 2018, 2019 and 2021. The data files are in shapefile format, in UTM Zone 9N projection. Funding was provided by National Science Foundation awards OCE-1834797, OCE-1949485, OCE-1948936, and OCE-1949938.

Processed bathymetric data (netCDF grid) from 9°50'N, East Pacific Rise, acquired in 2018, 2019 and 2021 during AUV Sentry near-bottom dives
Bathymetric data were collected during a total of 19 AUV Sentry dives conducted from R/V Atlantis and R/V Roger Revelle during 2018 Atlantis cruise AT42-06 (two dives); 2019 Atlantis cruise AT42-21 (ten dives); and, 2021 Revelle cruise RR2102 (seven dives). Track lines were spaced 170 m apart, with Sentry about 65 m above bottom, collecting multibeam data using a 400 kHz Reson 7125 system in 2018, and a 400 kHz Kongsberg EM2040 system in 2019 and 2021. Sentry navigation was obtained using a 300 kHz Teledyne Doppler velocity log (DVL) and a Sonardyne AvTrak2 ultra-short baseline (USBL) acoustic positioning system, combined with an iXblue Phins inertial navigation system (INS), and a Paroscientific 8B7000-I Digiquartz depth sensor. Sonar data from all 19 dives were processed together using the open-source MB-System software, and were gridded at 1 m × 1 m node resolution using a beam footprint calculated with the angular beam widths and weighted by local slope. The grid file is in GMT-compatible netCDF format, in un-projected geographic coordinates. Funding was provided by National Science Foundation awards OCE-1834797, OCE1949485, OCE-1948936, and OCE-1949938.

This dataset includes measurements of the dissolved isotope radium-226 in the South Pacific and Southern Ocean. Samples were collected on the US GEOTRACES GP17-OCE cruise (Papeete, Tahiti to Punta Arenas, Chile) on R/V Roger Revelle from December 2022 to January 2023. Radium-223, radium-224, and radium-228 data will be made available in the future.more » « less

This data set consists of raw multi-channel seismic reflection (MCS) data in SEG-Y format, collected in July 2022 along the continental slope of the Campeche Bank aboard R/V Justo Sierra. The research objective was to map the detailed stratigraphy of sediment drift deposits to explore the history of the Loop Current and its climatic implications. We used the portable high-resolution seismic acquisition system operated by Scripps Institution of Oceanography, which comprised a source array of two 45 cubic inches G.I. air-guns and a GeoEel streamer with 120 channels at a spacing of 6.25 m. The air-gun array was fired every 12.5 m and was towed at a depth of 3 m. Data was recorded using the Geometrics seismic recording system with sample rate of 0.5 ms and recording length of 4 ms. A 50-ms delay was created during each shot as a buffer between the timing pulse that starts the recording and the trigger pulse that fires the air-guns. A total of 11 seismic lines were acquired including two long strike lines, five dip lines, two tilted dip lines and two short transition lines. The shot spacing was not exactly 12.5 m during the first three lines (1001-1003) due to system glitches, therefore, it is necessary to merge navigation with SEG-Y headers to ensure accurate processing of these lines. Detailed acquisition parameters and cruise incidents are described in the associated documents. Funding for this work was provided through NSF awards OCE-1928888 and OCE-1450528, and CONTEX award 2018-38A.more » « less
