Description:
Abstract:
This GIS layer contains the shiptrack navigation points collected aboard the RV ASTERIAS during a 1985 geophysical cruise to western Long Island Sound. A boomer seismic system was used to collect the subbottom data.
Purpose:
The purpose is to disseminate a digital version of a regional map showing the distribution of sub-bottom seismic profiles (boomer) collected in western Long Island Sound aboard the R/V ASTERIAS during 1985. The seismic data collected along these ship tracks can be used to provide useful information about the framework geology in this region.

High-resolution seismic-reflection data were collected during field work conducted in western Long Island Sound during 1985. This data set is the navigation from that cruise.
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Selected navigation points from the original onboard logs were hand plotted on charts with Loran overlays. These overlays were then registered and digitized (using a Calcomp 9100 table and PC Arc/Info) to create point coverages with CT state plane coordinates. Attributes were added.

The metadata was edited to remove errors as well as update some information. Edits include updating the citation section with the DOI link and modifying the title, added the link to the field activity in the supplmental information section, added the USGS Thesaurus and ISO 19115 Topic Category thesaurus, added keywords section with USGS persistent identifier as theme keyword, added link to cross-reference, used a generic email address in metadata, replaced distribution liability with FSP statement. Other blank fields were deleted. The metadata date (20020418), but not the contact (except email and contact instructions) was updated. The metadata available from a harvester may supersede metadata available from the publication. Compare the metadata dates to determine which metadata file is most recent. (20210818). Replaced all links to data using woodshole.er with the appropriate working link. Fixed the browse graphic broken link. (20240819).
