Description:
Abstract:
This GIS layer contains the station navigation for vibracores collected in Long Island Sound during 1988. These cores were originally collected to study nearshore geologic framework.
Purpose:
The purpose is to disseminate a digital version of a regional map showing the distribution of vibracores collected during 1988 in Long Island Sound aboard the Atlantic Twin as part of a cooperative between New England coastal states and the Minerals Management Service. These cores, which were used to verify interpretations of high-resolution seismic-reflection profiles, can be used to provide useful information about the framework geology in this region.

Process_Description:
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 (20020404), 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).
