Description:

Abstract:

Variability in sediment properties with depth and the thickness of individual sedimentary layers are critical determinants of seabed acoustic response. The New England Mud Patch (NEMP), located south of Cape Cod, is an unusual feature on the U.S. Continental Shelf in that it is composed of fine-grained sediment layers containing a relatively-homogeneous mix of sand, silt, and clay-sized particles bounded by more typical sandy shelf sediments. The unique characteristics and nature of this deposit is due to a derivation of sediments that have been transported to, and deposited in, a basal bowl-shaped depression since the last glacial maximum. Ninety-two piston, vibra-, and gravity cores with a maximum length of 8.2 meters were collected from across the New England Mud Patch during a 2-leg, 10-day cruise aboard the R/V Endeavor in the spring of 2016. Geologic characterization and analysis of a subset of the cores including grain size, CaCO3, mineral composition, and bulk index properties (undrained shear strength, water content, density, and porosity) of discrete samples was carried out at the USGS Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center's (WHCMSC) Sediment Analysis Laboratory. This data release contains the results of these analyses, along with visual core descriptions and summary sheets for each core analyzed for this study.

Purpose:

The data gained through the analyses of cores collected from the New England Mud Patch help provide a comprehensive understanding of the nature and properties of the sediments found in this geographic location. The summary sheet for each individual core can be used as a quick reference for identifying the core's general geophysical properties.

Supplemental_Information:

Cores were collected on the 2016 R/V Endeavor cruise EN577 from April 19, 2016 to May 2, 2016. Information about this expedition, also known as USGS Field Activity 2016-001-FA, is available at https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2016-001-FA

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Each type of analysis compiled into the summary sheets has its own respective method of quality assurance and quality control. The data was checked to ensure that the data results matched up with their respective depth intervals.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

Summary sheets are a compilation of multiple types of data. Logical consistency reports for each type of data in this dataset can be found in other items of the data release. For example, reports for bulk carbon and organics can be found in "Bulk organics and carbonate content of sediment cores from the New England Mud Patch collected on USGS Field Activity 2016-001-FA" within the larger work.

Completeness_Report:

Of the 98 cores collected during the R/V Endeavor EN577 cruise, 69 cores have summary spreadsheets of their data. No vibracores are included in this dataset because of the four analyses reflected in these summary sheets (bulk carbon content, moisture and grain density analysis, undrained vane shear strength, and grain size), only bulk carbon content analyses were performed on this core type. See "Bulk organics and carbonate content of sediment cores from the New England Mud Patch collected on USGS Field Activity 2016-001-FA" within the greater work for vibracore carbon content data.

Lineage:

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Sediment cores were cut into sections on the research vessel and later split in half in the laboratory. The data collected for each core includes loss-on-ignition for bulk carbon content, moisture and grain density analysis, undrained vane shear strength, and grain size. In addition to being compiled by analysis type for other items within this data release, data were compiled into summary sheets for individual core ID's. Each summary sheet contains all available data from analyses that were performed on a particular core.
