Description:

Abstract:

This study was undertaken to provide information on the characteristics and distribution of surficial sediments off the eastern United States. Accordingly, long traverses were run across the continental shelf and in most case carrying over the shelf break. This data set includes data from those 9 traverses which were conducted north of Virginia. These data constitute the first systematic sampling of the U.S. Atlantic margin to show the effects of environmental factors (e.g. increasing distance from shore, water depth) on the sediment distribution. Sampling was performed with a primitive grab sampler; navigational methods were not discussed in this report.

Purpose:

The purpose of this data layer is to release a digital version of the textural data generated from sediments collected as part of Stetson's research during the 1930's. This digital version comprises part of a USGS sand and gravel assessment of the NY Bight, Gulf of Maine, and Georges Bank.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Edits to the metadata were made to fix any errors that MP v 2.9.32 flagged. 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.). Minor fixes to the attribute format for some attributes was needed. 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.
