The sediment data described in this report, including descriptive core logs, core photographs, processed grain-size data, OSL tables, carbon-14 tables, sample location maps, and GIS data files with accompanying formal Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) metadata, can be downloaded from the table below. Additionally, the core photos and logs can be viewed by clicking on the core locations on the sample location map (fig. 7). The images are provided as high-resolution JPEGs and can be viewed using standard image viewing software.

Core photos and logs are also provided in PDF format for download and can be viewed using the free software Adobe Reader (http://www.adobe.com/products/reader.html). The sample location tables and grain-size spreadsheets were created in Microsoft Excel 2010 (http://office.microsoft.com/) and can be opened using Microsoft Excel 2007 or higher. The GIS map documents and shapefiles provided in the data table were created using ESRI ArcGIS version 10.1 and can be opened using ESRI ArcGIS version 10.0 or higher; these data may also be viewed using the free GIS viewer ArcGIS Explorer (http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/explorer). All sample locations and GIS data files presented this report use the projected coordinate system Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) Zone 16 North (16N), and all elevations are North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88) orthometric heights, derived using the GEOID09 geoid model.
