In November 1999, the U. S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with Coastal Carolina University, began a program to produce geologic maps of the nearshore regime off northern South Carolina, utilizing high resolution sidescan sonar, interferometric (direct phase methods) swath bathymetry, and seismic subbottom profiling systems. The study areas extends from the ~7m isobath to about 10km offshore (water depths <12m). The goals of the investigation are to determine regional scale sand resource availability needed for planned beach nourishment programs, to investigate the roles that the inner shelf morphology and geologic framework play in the evolution of this coastal region, and to provide baseline geologic maps for use in proposed biologic habitat studies.
