Description:
Abstract: This California continental shelf geologic data set represents
the current state of knowledge about the distribution of seafloor substrate
types for the entire California continental shelf. The data series is comprised of seven adjacent, but discrete map
sections. Boundaries of seafloor geology type are depicted as polygon themes.
Purpose: This project created digital GIS format versions of California
continental shelf geology hardcopy maps originally produced by the Division of
Mines and Geology, the U.S. Geological Survey and the California Coastal
Commission. In addition, geologic and bathymetric data were interpreted further
to produce polygons representing habitat boundaries.
Supplemental Information: Original data developed by the Division of
Mines and Geology, the U.S. Geological Survey and the California Coastal
Commission. The principle purpose of the original DMG/USGS/CCC study was to acquire
and compile all readily available geologic data for the California continental
margin in a standard format. These nondigital data were presented as paper
planimetric map sheets (NOAA/NOS 1:250,000 scale). For the current project,
original mylars used to produce the geologic map series were scanned, and the
resulting rasters were cleaned, georeferenced (UTM Zone 10 or 11, WGS84), and
vectorized using TNTmips GIS software. Vector polygons and lines were then
attributed and exported in ArcView shapefile format. Data covers an area from
Mexico north to Oregon and from the California coastline west to the edge of
the continental margin.

Process Step:
Process Description: Interpretation of the geology into habitat
types was done in several steps. First,
all digital geologic units (polygons) were converted to gross habitat type
polygons in ArcView 3.2a. Second, these
polygons were then printed out and checked for continuity and consistency with
habitat descriptions. Third, a
symbology and codification for distinguishing habitat types was then
developed. Fourth, using codes,
bathymetry, and the knowledge that some lithologic units as mapped on the
California Continental Margin Map Series may not crop out everywhere on the sea
floor where they are mapped, habitat boundaries were adjusted to give the most
probably location and outline of the units.
Finally, the habitats and maps were checked for errors
("busts") to assure a seamless connection between map sheets and
printed out as a final copy.
A code was written to
easily distinguish each habitat type and to facilitate ease of use and queries
in a GIS. This code is based on the
deep-water habitat characterization scheme developed by Greene et al. (1999).

Process Step:
Process Description: Geologic features were rendered from
archived mylar traces of the original mapping study (Kennedy et al 1987). Mylar
sheet(s) were scanned and recorded as TIFF image(s). The image(s) was then
imported into advanced image processing/analytical software (TNTmips®,
MicroImages, Inc.) and run through a series of data conversions.
Archive mylars were
scanned using an adjusted black/white threshold mode to capture all lines. The
raster image(s) was examined to detect any obvious distortions of the map and
then saved in TIFF format. Using TNTmips® v 6.3 software (MicroImages, Inc),
the unprojected TIFF was imported and georeferenced. Coordinates for the
control points were taken from the hardcopy Geology Series map(s) grids. Raster
to vector conversion (auto-trace function), vector edits (polygon smoothing,
sliver polygon elimination, vertices adjustment), object attributing and export
to ArcView® (ESRI) were performed within TNTmips®. Special attention was paid
to processing lines of inferred contact. Geology and subsurface polygons, and
structural (linework) features were extracted and saved to separate files.
Feature merge, union, split, and edge-matching functions were performed in ArcView®
v 3.2. Attribute tables were reviewed and updated following each of these
processes.
A workbook (avls.xls)
was created in Microsoft Excel® 2000 (9.03821 SR-1) containing two worksheets;
one for the geology themes and another for the subsurface (ephemeral)
themes. These worksheets contain an
aggregate of all features on each of the geology (Areas 1-5, 7) and subsurface
(Areas 1,2; 4-7) themes. Using the
Legend Editor in Arcview® 3.2a, colors and patterns were chosen for polygons
depicting geologic and subsurface features to match those used in Kennedy et
al. “Geology of the California Continental Margin” (USGS Bulletin 207 and Maps
of Areas 1-7, sheets 1 of 4). The
patterns and colors chosen for each feature were included in the appropriate
worksheet as was the presence or absence of each feature among the map areas
(see avl.xls). Using the avls.xls
spreadsheets as a template, master avls were created for all geology and
subsurface themes. These master avls
contain all features present in each map area (geomaster.avl and
subsurface.avl).
For detailed procedures
of data processing in TNTmips® v6.3 and ArcView® v3.2, please direct requests
to the metadata coordinator.
