Twichell Originator: VeeAnn A. Cross Publication_Date: 20011000 Title: Holocene Evolution of the Southern Washington and Northern Oregon Shelf and Coast: Geologic Discussion and GIS Data Release Description: Abstract: Two 21-day field operations were conducted in 1997 and 1998 in the estuaries and on the inner continental shelf off the northern Oregon and southern Washington coast. These cruises aboard the R/V Corliss were run in order to generate reconnaissance maps of the seafloor geology and the shallow subsurface stratigraphy using sidescan sonar and seismic-reflection mapping techniques. The 1998 cruise also collected sediment grab samples, bottom photographs, and video images to verify the sidescan-sonar imagery and to document the seafloor geology. The combination of these data with previously collected sediment sample data (Robert, 1974; Nittrouer, 1978; and Smith et. al., 1980) has been used to define the extent and lithology of shelf sediments associated with the Columbia River littoral cell. This work is one component of a larger project studying the erosion of the Washington and Oregon coast and is being coordinated by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Washington State Department of Ecology. The reason for collecting these data is to provide a regional synthesis of the offshore geology to support a wide variety of management decisions and to provide a basis for further process-oriented investigations. Purpose: This GIS overlay is a component of the Southwest Washington Coastal Erosion ArcView GIS database. These grid coverages represents the surfaces at 1000 year intervals from 11,000 years BP to the present combined with the landward DEM to give a more realistic looking surface.

For a complete description of all the processing steps see the USGS Open-file report 01-076 "Holocene Evolution of the Southern Washington and Northern Oregon Shelf and Coast: Geologic Discussion and GIS Data Release" by David C. Twichell and VeeAnn A. Cross. However, it is essential to note that these are shifted surfaces. In other words, the zero contour on any surface would fall on where we think the shoreline was at that time. This is different than the other surfaces, in which the grids reflect the depth to the surface relative to present day 0 values.
