The Gulf of Mexico GIS database is intended to organize and display USGS held data and provide on-line (WWW) access to the data and/or metadata. Purpose: This GIS data layer data layer contains the geologic interpretation of the Gulf of Mexico GLORIA data. Supplemental_Information: The geologic interpretation of the Gulf of Mexico GLORIA data was taken from an image, Gulf_mex.rmp, available on the U.S. Geological Survey Digital Data Series DDS-15 CD-ROM. The image was created from the geologic interpretations of the GLORIA images that may be found in the paper atlases at a scale of 1:500,000 and are referenced as U.S. Geological Survey Miscellaneous Investigations Series I-1864-A,B (1987).

The geologic interpretation of the GLORIA images found in the atlas, I-18640A,B, was digitized and ARC/INFO coverages created. Those coverages were combined to create a single, pseudo-color coded interpretive map/image for DDS-15. Unfortunately, the coverages were subsequently lost. Rather than redigitize the mosaics, the decision was made to recreate the coverages based on the image from DDS-15.

THe coverages were combined to create a single pseudo-color coded interpretive map/image for DDS-15. Unfortunately, the ARC coverages were lost. Rather than re-digitize the interpretations, the decision was made to recreate the coverages based on the DDS-15 image. Process_Step: Process_Description: The geologic interpretaiton image was taken from the CD-ROM DDS-15 and registered to a 250 meter, georeferenced GLORIA image for the entire Gulf of Mexico. When the geologic interpretation image was registered, the image was then rasterized to create vector outlines.
