Wy_Y09a Antarctic Transect Data from Pensacola/Pole

Pensacola/Pole Transect Wy_Y09a is a geophysical dataset from the Contrasting Architecture and Dynamics of the Transantarctic Mountains (TAM) research project. The data was collected by the SCIOPS organization and last updated in December 1999. It is part of a collaborative project funded by the National Science Foundation's Office of Polar Programs.

Use Cases

• Analyze geological transect features like elevation or rock composition along the Wy_Y09a survey line.
• Map subsurface structures using geophysical measurements such as magnetic or gravitational anomalies from the transect.
• Model the tectonic architecture of the Transantarctic Mountains by integrating this transect data with other regional surveys.
• Study polar landscape evolution by examining spatial data points collected along the defined transect path.

Strengths

• Data originates from a formal NSF-funded research project (awards OPP-9615704 and OPP-9615832).
• Provides specific geospatial transect data (Wy_Y09a) for a targeted Antarctic region.

Limitations

• Dataset is temporally stale, with no updates recorded since 1999.
• Essential metadata like row count, column names, and file size are unknown.
• Spatial coverage is limited to a specific transect line in the Pensacola/Pole area.
