Reid 2006 1.0 Open-File Report 2006-1046 Reston, VA U.S. Geological Survey https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2006/1046/ The facies data layer (FAC) is a point coverage of known sediment samplings, inspections, and probings from the usSEABED data collection and integrated using the software system dbSEABED. The facies data layer (FAC) represents concatenated information about components (minerals and rock type), genesis (igneous, metamorphic, carbonate, terrigenous), and other appropriate groupings of information about the seafloor. The facies data are parsed from written descriptions from cores, grabs, photographs, and videos, and may apply only to a subsample as denoted by the Top, Bottom, and SamplePhase fields. Lack of values in a defined facies field does not necessarily imply lack of the components defining that field, but may imply a lack of data for that field. To build a digital mapping of the character of the seabed on regional, national and global scales. These data are intended for science researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public. The data can be used with geographic information systems (GIS) software to display geologic and oceanographic information. This data layer is a subset of the original usSEABED East Coast data release version 1.0, and is geographically clipped to the greater New York-New Jersey geographical region. 2006 publication date Planned As needed -75.500000 -71.000000 41.706940 38.000000 USGS Metadata Identifier USGS:0b9275a8-b512-4640-b899-5198431f9e3b None analyses CMGP Coastal and Marine Geology Program dbSEABED descriptions geology grain size Marine Aggregates Resources and Processes seabed seafloor sediment data texture U.S. Geological Survey USGS usSEABED Woods Hole Science Center University of Colorado Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research Benthic Habitats (Pacific) Project Pacific Science Center WHSC PSC INSTAAR ISO 19115 Topic Category oceans location geoscientificInformation NASA/Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Earth Science Keywords.

Poppe 2005 1.0 Data Series 118 Reston, VA U.S. Geological Survey https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/2005/118/ Accuracy of each attribute is dependent on the accuracy of the lineage data. Data in usSEABED are based on the observations and analyses of others, filtered through a unifying and mining software. Each source report varies in type of information/data recorded and format. Only those observations that are recorded can be filtered and mined; only presence (not absence) or information can be noted. Additional useable data may exist in this area; the authors appreciate any information and leads. Locational accuracy is dependent on the accuracy of the navigational technique from the individual data sources and may vary widely (e.g., from 0.005km (differential GPS) in more recent surveys to greater than 2 km based on radar, Loran, or dead reckoning in older surveys.) Users of the data should use their own criteria for assessing the accuracy of the locations.

Woods Hole MA 02543-1598 USA 508-548-8700 x2354 508-457-2310 marsenault@usgs.gov Edits to the metadata were made to fix any errors that MP v 2.9.36 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.). Reordered the links in the identification section so a landing page link is first. Attempted to modify http to https where appropriate. Some attributes were incompletely defined and had to be modified to meet the standard. 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. 20171020 U.S. Geological Survey VeeAnn A. Cross Marine Geologist Mailing and Physical
