Abstract:
These data represent gas found within the upper most mappable unit wtihin the Hudson Shelf Valley;
Holocene unit, u1. These data were mapped based CHIRP seismic-reflection records collected
May, 1996. See Allison, 1997; Lanier, 1999; Lotto, 2000.
Purpose:
In 1995, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation
with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), began a
program to generate reconnaissance maps of the sea floor
offshore of the New York - New Jersey metropolitan area and
within the southern Long Island nearshoe area. Our methods
include high-resolution sidescan sonar and subbottom
profiling techniques, along with surface grab and vibracore
sampling to verify the geophysical interpretations. The goal
of the investigation is to provide a regional synthesis of
the sea-floor environment, to determine regional-scale
availability of sand as a resource for beach nourishment
programs, and to investigate the role that inner-shelf
morphology and geologic framework have in the evolution of
the coastal region within the New York Bight Apex and
southern Long Island. Maps derived from interpretation of
the subbottom profiles show information on the geometry and
distribution of the Quaternary sediments and the underlying
coastal-plain unconformity. This seismic stratigraphy yields
a regional framework on which explanations of present (and
past) sediment movement, dispersal, and erosion processes
are based.
