Primary survey data consists of seismic reflection profiles and sediment cores. This report covers that part of the survey area comprising the inner Shelf between Palm Beach and Cape Kennedy. Sediment on beaches adjacent to the study area consists of quartzose sand and shell fragments. Median size of midtide samples generally lies in the range betwen 0.3 to 0.5 mm. (1.74 to 1.0 phi) diameter. The Shelf in the study area is a submerged sedimentary plain of low relief. Ridge-like shoals generally of medium-to-coarse (0.25 to 1.0mm.) calcareous sand resting on the seaward dipping subbottom strata contain material suitable for beach restoration. A minumum volume of 92.2 X 106 cubic yards of suitable sand is available within study limits.. Purpose: The purpose of this datalayer is to release a digital version of the coring data from a U. S. Army Corp of Engineers (USACOE) Inner Continental Shelf (ICONS) program project from Palm Beach to Cape Kennedy, Florida Time_Period_of_Content: Time_Period_Information: Single_Date/Time: Calendar_Date: 1971 Currentness_Reference: publication date Status: Progress: Complete Maintenance_and_Update_Frequency: None planned Spatial_Domain: Bounding_Coordinates: West_Bounding_Coordinate: -80.60397 East_Bounding_Coordinate: -80.08872 North_Bounding_Coordinate: 28.25221 South_Bounding_Coordinate: 27.00433 Keywords: Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: General Theme_Keyword: U.S. Geological Survey Theme_Keyword: USGS Theme_Keyword: Coastal and Marine Geology Theme_Keyword: Coastal and Marine Geology Program Theme_Keyword: Woods Hole Science Center Theme_Keyword: USACE Theme_Keyword: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Theme_Keyword: Coastal Engineering and Research Center Theme_Keyword: cores Theme_Keyword: ICONS Theme_Keyword: vibracores Theme_Keyword: navigation Theme_Keyword: descriptions Theme_Keyword: grain size Theme_Keyword: sediment Theme_Keyword: gravel Theme_Keyword: sand Theme_Keyword: silt Theme_Keyword: clay Theme_Keyword: dbSEABED Theme_Keyword: usSEABED Theme_Keyword: intercontinental shelf sediment and structure Study Theme_Keyword: Marine Aggregate Resources and Processes Theme_Keyword: Submarine geology Theme_Keyword: Sediment cores Theme_Keyword: Artificial Beach Nourishment Place: Place_Keyword_Thesaurus: General Place_Keyword: Palm Beach Place_Keyword: Cape Kennedy Place_Keyword: Florida Access_Constraints: None Use_Constraints: None Point_of_Contact: Contact_Information: Contact_Person_Primary: Contact_Person: Jeff Williams Contact_Organization: U.S. Geological Survey Contact_Position: Geologist Contact_Address: Address_Type: mailing and physical address Address: 384 Woods Hole Rd.
