Description During June 15-23 and July 10-12, 2014, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted a nearshore geologic assessment, including bathymetric mapping, along Fire Island, New York (NY). This work was conducted in support of efforts to map the shoreface, characterize stratigraphy, and investigate changes in seafloor elevations near Fire Island, NY to assess the impacts of Hurricane Sandy to the area in October 2012. Geophysical data were collected as part of the Hurricane Sandy Supplemental Project (GS2-2B). The data release associated with this metadata record serves as an archive of high-resolution chirp sub-bottom trace data and navigation files. The archived trace data are in standard Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) SEG-Y revision 0 format (Barry and others, 1975). Processed sub-bottom profile images, survey trackline map, geographic information system (GIS) data, and formal Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM) are also provided.
