The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) collected 73 vibracores totaling about 270 meters in August, 1995 offshore of Dare County, North Carolina. This work was performed under an agreement between the COE and Dare County as part of an investigation to delineate potential sand resource deposits in offshore waters for use as beach nourishment material. The coring was done in conjunction with a reconnaissance study conducted by N. C. State University that included the collection of Uniboom seismic reflection data and side scan sonar by N. C. State University in summer of 1994.
Are there legal restrictions on access or use of the data?Access_Constraints:
Cores are shelved in the repository of the North Carolina Geological Survey Coastal Plain Office, 4100-A Reedy Creek Road, Raleigh, NC 27607. There is no legal constraint on access. Users wishing to access the cores should make inquiry to the NCGS to schedule a visit. Manpower to physically handle the cores and space in which to lay them out for examination are limited and are addressed on a case-by-case basis.Use_Constraints:Cores may be examined without constraint. Sampling will typically require a negotiated written agreement describing the samples to be taken, their purpose, and a statement agreeing to provide data generated from the cores to the NCGS in a specified form and timeframe.
