A suite of Shipek grab samples was collected at the time of the sidescan-sonar survey to groundtruth the acoustic facies identified on the imagery. Additional sediments samples were obtained by divers at each vibracore location. Grain size analyses of all sediment samples were conducted using a combination of wet sieve and Coulter Counter techniques following the methodology of Poppe and others (1985). Vibracores were split, described, and subsampled for grain size analysis, radiocarbon and amino-acid race mization dating. Purpose: To examine the relationships between surficial morphology and geologic framework of the shoreface and inner shelf Time_Period_of_Content: Time_Period_Information: Single_Date/Time: Calendar_Date: 1998 Currentness_Reference: publication date Status: Progress: Complete Maintenance_and_Update_Frequency: None planned Spatial_Domain: Bounding_Coordinates: West_Bounding_Coordinate: -77.800490 East_Bounding_Coordinate: -77.761080 North_Bounding_Coordinate: 34.224410 South_Bounding_Coordinate: 34.176600 Keywords: Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: General Theme_Keyword: analyses Theme_Keyword: clay Theme_Keyword: CMGP Theme_Keyword: Coastal and Marine Geology Program Theme_Keyword: grab samples Theme_Keyword: grain size Theme_Keyword: sand Theme_Keyword: sediment data Theme_Keyword: silt Theme_Keyword: U.S. Geological Survey Theme_Keyword: USGS Theme_Keyword: vibracore Theme_Keyword: Woods Hole Science Center Place: Place_Keyword_Thesaurus: General Place_Keyword: North Carolina Place_Keyword: United States Place_Keyword: Wrightsville Beach Place_Keyword: Atlantic coast Place_Keyword: East Coast Access_Constraints: None Use_Constraints: Public domain data from the U.S. Government are freely redistributable with proper metadata and source attribution.
