Pole Transect Wy_Y01c data originates from a collaborative NSF-funded project studying the architecture of the Transantarctic Mountains. The dataset was created by the SCIOPS organization and last updated in December 1999. It represents a specific geophysical survey line from the Pensacola region.
Use Cases
- Analyzing subsurface geological structure along the transect line using geophysical measurements.
- Correlating survey data with other geological maps of the Transantarctic Mountains region.
- Studying long-term geological stability by comparing this 1999 data with more recent surveys.
Strengths
- Data is part of a formally funded NSF project (OPP-9615704, OPP-9615832).
- Focuses on the scientifically significant Transantarctic Mountains region.
Limitations
- Data is over 24 years old, limiting analysis of recent changes.
- Specific data volume, format, and available features are unknown.
Provenance
- Source
- National Science Foundation's Office of Polar Programs funded project.
- Collection Method
- Geophysical survey transect, likely involving ground-based or aerial sensing.
- Time Range
- Data collection presumably prior to last update in 1999.
- Freshness
- 1999-12-22
- Geography
- Pensacola region, Transantarctic Mountains, Antarctica.
