1999 data from the Contrasting Architecture and Dynamics of the Transantarctic Mountains (TAM) project. The dataset is part of a collaborative geophysical research effort funded by the National Science Foundation's Office of Polar Programs. It was contributed by the organization SCIOPS.
Use Cases
- Analyzing geophysical survey transect data to study the architecture of the Transantarctic Mountains.
- Mapping subsurface geological features using the 'Pensacola/Pole Transect' survey line data.
- Correlating geophysical measurements with regional Antarctic geology from the TAM project.
Strengths
- Data originates from a major NSF-funded polar research project (TAM).
- Project funded under specific NSF OPP awards (9615704, 9615832).
Limitations
- Dataset is over 20 years old, last updated in 1999.
- Specific row count, column details, and file size are unknown.
- Geographic coverage is limited to a specific transect in Antarctica.
Provenance
- Source
- National Science Foundation's Office of Polar Programs, via the TAM research project.
- Collection Method
- Geophysical survey, likely involving transect-based measurements.
- Time Range
- Data collection presumably prior to 1999.
- Freshness
- Static dataset, last updated 1999-12-22.
- Geography
- Transantarctic Mountains, Antarctica, along the 'Pensacola/Pole Transect'.
