| Value | Definition |
|---|---|
| Erosion or Nondeposition | High-energy environment within which sea-floor sediments are either removed or do not accumulate |
| Coarse Bedload Transport | Environment within which sea-floor sand and pea gravel sized sediments are transported. Bedforms are typically present. |
| Sorting and Reworking | Environment within which sea-floor sand and mud-sized sediments are being separated |
To release an interpretation of sedimentary environments based on bathymetry data collected during NOAA survey H11922 and sediment samples and bottom photography collected during USGS surveys 2010-033-FA and 2010-005-FA of the sea floor off Gay Head, Massachusetts, in eastern Rhode Island Sound, in a geographic, WGS84 coordinate system. These data can be used to provide information on surface geology and sedimentary processes.
