Cruise Information SK97
Marmara-97

 

The Marmara-97 multichannel seismic reflection profile data were collected between 29 August and 21 September 1997. The navigation and SEG-Y data are available from this site. An archive of the 40 profiles of processed seismic data, in SEGY format, together with the DGPS (Differential Global Positioning System) locations and acquisition parameters for each profile are available for download from the IRIS data center, data set name = Marmara, data set number = 03-001. MARM data report 03-001.pdf is also available.
