Description:

Abstract:

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), is producing detailed geologic maps of the coastal sea floor. Bathymetry, originally collected by NOAA for charting purposes, provides a fundamental framework for research and management activities off southern New England, shows the composition and terrain of the seabed, and provides information on sediment transport and benthic habitat. During July-August 2008 NOAA completed hydrographic survey H11922 west of Gay Head, Massachusetts, in Rhode Island Sound and during July and September 2010 bottom photographs and surficial sediment data were acquired as part of ground-truth reconnaissance surveys of this area. Interpretations were derived from the multibeam echo-sounder data and the ground-truth data used to verify them. For more information on the ground-truth surveys see http://quashnet.er.usgs.gov/data/2010/10033/ and http://quashnet.er.usgs.gov/data/2010/10005/

Purpose:

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.

Source_Citation_Abbreviation: Information unavailable from original metadata.
Source_Contribution:

The original acoustic data acquired during NOAA survey H11922 aboard the NOAA ship Thomas Jefferson and the portion of the sediment samples and bottom photography collected during USGS surveys 2010-033-FA and 2010-005-FA that fall within the study area. Historical grain-size data used in the interpretation are from Poppe and others (1998).

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

The geographic GeoTIFF image of the multibeam bathymetry data from survey H11922 and the point data layer from grain-size analyses of sediments collected from this survey area were imported into the ArcView 3.3 GIS project view. Sedimentary environments were interpreted based on geomorphology and relief in the bathymetry, on the bottom photography and on the new and historical textural analyses. The individually interpreted environments (erosion or nondeposition, coarse bedload transport, and sorting and reworking) were outlined using the available graphic tools then converted to an ESRI shapefile using ArcView 3.3. Polygons were were traced at a scale of 1:4,000, but union and subtraction edits were conducted at 1:5,000 to 1:8,500 scales. Therefore, use of this interpretation datalayer is not recommended at scales of less than 1:10,000.

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.). The source information was incomplete 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.
