Raw and Processed Ground-Penetrating Radar and Postprocessed Differential Global Positioning System Data Collected from Assateague Island, Maryland, October 2014

Abstract

Scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey, St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center acquired sediment cores, sediment surface grab samples, ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) data from Assateague Island, Maryland, in October 2014. The objectives were to identify washover deposits in the stratigraphic record to aid in understanding barrier island evolution.

This report serves as an archive of GPR and DGPS data collected from Assateague Island in October 2014. Data products, including raw GPR and processed DGPS data, elevation corrected GPR profiles, and accompanying Federal Geographic Data Committee metadata can be downloaded from the Data Downloads page.
