Description:
Abstract:
This GIS layer contains an computer generated model of the distribution of surficial sediments in Long Island Sound.
Purpose:
The purpose is to disseminate a digital version of a regional map showing the distribution of surficial sediments in Long Island Sound. Grain size is the most basic attribute of sediment texture, and texture controls many benthic ecological and chemical processes.
