Description
The USGS deployed seismic recorders at three sites during marine seismic reflection profiling of the southern Alaska margin conducted by EDGE, a consortium of academic investigators. The EDGE marine reflection profiles were acquired in July 1989 using a tuned 128 liter (7800 c. in.) airgun array towed from a commercial seismic ship. Three three-component land stations deployed in southern Alaska continuously recorded the airgun signals produced by the reflection profiling at large offsets.
