1999 data from the Contrasting Architecture and Dynamics of the Transantarctic Mountains (TAM) geophysical research project. The dataset is part of a collaborative project funded by the National Science Foundation's Office of Polar Programs under awards OPP-9615704 and OPP-9615832. It was last updated by organization SCIOPS in December 1999.
Use Cases
- Analyzing geophysical transect features to model subsurface architecture of the Transantarctic Mountains.
- Correlating survey data from the Pensacola/Pole transect with other regional geophysical datasets.
- Using the spatial coordinates of the transect for geological mapping and tectonic studies.
Strengths
- Data originates from a formally funded NSF research project (OPP-9615704, OPP-9615832).
- Project focused on a specific, scientifically significant region: the Transantarctic Mountains.
Limitations
- Data is over 20 years old, with the last update recorded in 1999.
- No column names, sample data, or size information is available for assessment.
- Specific data collection methods and instruments are not described.
Provenance
- Source

- Collection Method
- Geophysical survey data collected along a transect, likely involving methods like seismic or radar profiling.
- Time Range
- Data reflects the state of the project as of 1999.
- Freshness
- 1999-12-22
- Geography
- Transantarctic Mountains, specifically the Pensacola/Pole transect region in Antarctica.
