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. Undrained shear strength provides a relative measure of the sediments' ‘stiffness’ within the cores.

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:

Torque measurement depths were checked to make sure that they matched the depths recorded in the data.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

Shear strength measurements are generally within the expected ranges. At some depths, the sediment was waterlogged and was sheared with a torque less than expected. These instances were noted on the visual core description sheets.

Completeness_Report:

Of the 98 cores collected on the EN577 cruise, 66 cores were measured for shear strength. Cores chosen for analysis were those that were thought to represent the full range of sediments expected to be encountered. Any cores omitted from analysis were not included because the coring locations were in close proximity to previously analyzed cores.

Process_Description:

Each core was cut into sections on the ship during collection. The cores were then split into halves in the core lab. Shear strength was measured at the same time as the core visual description was completed.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

A 0.5-in (12.7-mm) diameter by 0.5-in (12.7-mm) high four-blade vane attached to a torque gauge was inserted into the sediment to a depth of 2 cm and rotated at a fixed rate until the sediment sheared. The torque gauge reading, measured in oz-in (ounce-inch) and later converted to kPa, was recorded on the core description sheet, then later entered into a spreadsheet at its corresponding core depth.

Process_Description:

Torque gauge measurements were converted to undrained shear strength in kPa using a series of equations described by Chaytor (2021), the listed associated publication. Shear strength measurements in kPa were compiled into three spreadsheets, grouped together by core type. See "Overview Description" in the "Entity and Attributes" section for more information about the presentation of the data.
