Tools<br />

A map-based search provides a simple method<br />

to loc<strong>at</strong>e seismic lines and images. Displays of<br />

track lines may be filtered to show a particular<br />

d<strong>at</strong>a type or processing history (e.g., show<br />

stacks, OBS d<strong>at</strong>a, or shot d<strong>at</strong>a). A metad<strong>at</strong>a<br />

search produces tables with pre-selected<br />

parameters. A plotting tool cre<strong>at</strong>es customized<br />

images with simple post-stack parameter<br />

selection <strong>for</strong> filtering and amplitude modific<strong>at</strong>ion.<br />

G<strong>at</strong>eway to the Marine <strong>Seismic</strong> D<strong>at</strong>a Center<br />

<strong>UTIG</strong><br />

THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS INSTITUTE FOR GEOPHYSICS


<strong>The</strong> <strong>Academic</strong> <strong>Seismic</strong> <strong>Portal</strong> <strong>at</strong> <strong>UTIG</strong> is the<br />

g<strong>at</strong>eway to the underlying Marine <strong>Seismic</strong> D<strong>at</strong>a<br />

Center. <strong>The</strong> center provides <strong>for</strong> the preserv<strong>at</strong>ion<br />

of academic seismic active-source d<strong>at</strong>a,<br />

while the portal provides access <strong>for</strong> educ<strong>at</strong>ion<br />

and research to the varied digital d<strong>at</strong>a d<strong>at</strong>ing<br />

back to 1974. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Academic</strong> <strong>Seismic</strong> <strong>Portal</strong> <strong>at</strong><br />

LDEO acts similarly, and the two portals provide<br />

in<strong>for</strong>m<strong>at</strong>ion on the majority of U.S. academic<br />

seismic d<strong>at</strong>a sets.<br />

<strong>The</strong> ASP <strong>at</strong> www.ig.utexas.edu/sdc<br />

<strong>The</strong> two portals are part of the Marine Geoscience<br />

D<strong>at</strong>a System, a collection of d<strong>at</strong>a<br />

centers and portals having a broad responsibility<br />

to collect and cre<strong>at</strong>e metad<strong>at</strong>a <strong>for</strong> U.S.<br />

marine programs, provide tools <strong>for</strong> d<strong>at</strong>a discovery<br />

and generally ensure the long-term integrity<br />

of d<strong>at</strong>a collected in support of NSF<br />

programs.<br />

D<strong>at</strong>a Inventory<br />

Presently, the ASP <strong>at</strong> <strong>UTIG</strong> contains digital d<strong>at</strong>a<br />

from over 230 cruises. This is growing as we incorpor<strong>at</strong>e<br />

new and legacy d<strong>at</strong>a from individual scientists<br />

and from the old LDEO archive. <strong>The</strong> system<br />

totals 5.4 terabytes in over 30,000 files of which<br />

10,000 are stacks, migr<strong>at</strong>ions, single-channel and<br />

ocean bottom seismometer (OBS) lines. <strong>The</strong><br />

remainder are field d<strong>at</strong>a from 144 cruises, many<br />

from <strong>UTIG</strong> ship oper<strong>at</strong>ions prior to 1988.<br />

Products<br />

<strong>Seismic</strong> profiles are presented as cross-section<br />

images along with the primary binary d<strong>at</strong>a, geographic<br />

loc<strong>at</strong>ion, acquisition in<strong>for</strong>m<strong>at</strong>ion, processing<br />

histories and cit<strong>at</strong>ions. <strong>The</strong> metad<strong>at</strong>a compil<strong>at</strong>ions<br />

provide the building blocks <strong>for</strong> searching the<br />

d<strong>at</strong>a center inventory.<br />

User Demographics<br />

Of the registered users, about 71% are from our<br />

target audience of academics, researchers, and<br />

students, while about 18% support commercial<br />

activities. Besides the U.S., other well-represented<br />

countries are Australia, Brazil, Canada, China,<br />

France, Germany, India, and the United Kingdom.<br />
