Abstract
The entrenched Trinity River valley beneath Galveston Bay was studied using high-resolution seismic data.^The shape of the incised valley was determined on mini-sparker lines, which were obtained from the US Geological Survey in Corpus Christi, Texas.^Uniboom lines, shot in 1987 aboard the Rice University research vessel R/V Matagorda, provided detailed records of the sediments filling the valley.
