First results of a deep tow CHIRP sonar seafloor imaging system First results of a deep tow CHIRP sonar seafloor imaging system

The latest and most innovative technology has been applied towards the development of a full-ocean depth multi-sensor sonar system using linear swept-FM (Chirp) technology. The seafloor imaging system (SIS- 7000) described herein uses Chirp sidescan sonar to provide high resolution imagery at long range, and Chirp subbottom sonar to provide high resolution profiles in both the near...

A Geographic Information System procedure to quantify drainage-basin characteristics A Geographic Information System procedure to quantify drainage-basin characteristics

The Basin Characteristics System (BCS) has been developed to quantify characteristics of a drainage basin. The first of four main BCS processing steps creates four geographic information system (GIS) digital maps representing the drainage divide, the drainage network, elevation contours, and the basin length. The drainage divide and basin length are manually digitized from 1:250,000...

GIS mapping of earthquake ground shaking in San Francisco, California GIS mapping of earthquake ground shaking in San Francisco, California

Severe earthquakes of the last decade in Mexico, Armenia, and the United States have reemphasized the importance of local geologic site conditions in estimating damage and consequent losses. Recent advances in geographic information system (GIS) technology have created new opportunities for maintaining and integrating extensive spatial databases for applications in seismic hazard...
