Imagery, originally collected by NOAA for charting purposes, provides a fundamental framework for research and management activities along this part of the Massachusetts coastline, shows the composition and terrain of the seabed, and provides information on sediment transport and benthic habitat. Interpretive data layers were derived from the combined single-beam and multibeam echo-sounder data and sidescan-sonar data collected in the vicinity of Edgartown Harbor, Massachusetts. During August 2008 seismic-reflection profiles (Boomer and Chirp) were acquired, and during September 2008 bottom photographs and surficial sediment data were acquired as part of two ground-truth reconnaissance surveys. Purpose: To release a data layer showing the interpreted distribution of the axes of fluvially-cut late Pleistocene channels buried within the NOAA survey H11346 area based on seismic data collected during USGS survey RAFA08034 in Edgartown Harbor, Massachusetts, in a geographic, WGS84 coordinate system.

Source_Contribution: The original Boomer and Chirp seicmic data acquired during USGS survey RAFA08034. Process_Step: Process_Description: The shot-point navigation of the Chirp and Boomer subbottom seismic profile lines collected from this survey area during USGS cruise rafa08034 were imported into the ArcView 3.3 GIS project view. Channel axis locations were interpreted on the profiles and corresponding shot points were calculated. An ESRI line shapefile using ArcView 3.3 was produced and preliminary lines were drawn. The lines were then adjusted to match the proper shot points on the intersecting seismic lines and manually smoothed.

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.). This file had a source contribution, but no other source information. This information 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.
