This preliminary report is a summary of progress made during the 2006-07 field seasons reconstructing depositional systems in Tertiary strata exposed in the Homer-Kachemak Bay area.The study area addressed in this report extends from Clam Gulch in the north to Coal Cove in the south.Tertiary strata in this area are only mildly deformed and provide a relatively clear view of depositional systems and sand body geometries along the eastern basin edge and their change from basin edge to more basin axial positions.
The work is part of a Cook Inlet basin-wide effort to reconstruct depositional systems for use as a predictive tool in oil and gas exploration.The resulting framework will provide the context for evaluating sand body geometries.
The data are available in tabular format as comma delimited ASCII files organized into one entity as described in this metadata file under the "Entity_and_Attribute_Information" section. The table is as follows:

The latitude and longitude values in this report were collected with handheld GPS units which are accurate to approximately 4 meters.
No topologic relationships are present in this data set.
Sample collection locations were determined in the field using handheld GPS devices, the error of which is probably ~4 meters.When sample coordinates are plotted on a topographic base map, the samples collected accurately reflect the actual location of sample collection.
The horizontal position accuracy on point data is approximately 4 meters based on the error range in the handheld GPS units used to collect spatial information.
Samples were collected in the field (2006-2007) and their coordinates were documented using a handheld GPS device and recorded in tabular form.
