Processes controlling the Holocene evolution of the popham Barrier were also examined. Purpose: The purpose of this data layer is to make available a digital subset of a data set produced by I. Buynevich as part of a Ph.D. dissertation from Boston University.

Process_Step: Process_Description: Textural data from fluvial and estuarine environments of southwestern Maine were reorganized in Excel and exported to an ASCII file. Stations and sediment data were imported from the ASCII text file to an ArcView table. The table was later converted to an event theme and saved as the final shapefile.

This is necessary to enable the metadata to be successfully harvested for various data catalogs. In some cases, this meant adding text "Information unavailable" or "Information unavailable from original metadata" for those required fields that were left blank. Other minor edits were probably performed (title, publisher, publication place, etc.). The metadata date (but not the metadata creator) was edited to reflect the date of these changes. The metadata available from a harvester may supersede metadata bundled within a download file. Compare the metadata dates to determine which metadata file is most recent.
