This data set was acquired with a ship-based Bodenseewerk KSS-30 Gravimeter, Atlas Hydrosweep DS Multibeam Sonar system, and Varian Inc. V75 Magnetometer during Maurice Ewing expedition EW9101 conducted in 1991 (Chief Scientist: Dr. James Austin). These data files are of MGD77 format and include Gravity Field, Singlebeam Bathymetry, and Magnetic Field data and were processed after data collection. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): The Bransfield Strait-South Shetland Islands/Trench: Structural and Stratigraphic Evolution of a Linked(?) Back-arc/Fore-arc System and The Pacific Margin of the Antarctic Pennisula: A Marine Geophysical Study of the Tectonic Evolution of Andean-Type Orogens, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): DPP89-17332 and OCE94-18135.
