U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2004-1003
Sidescan Sonar Imagery and Surficial Geologic Interpretation of the Sea Floor off Branford, Connecticut

Distribution of surficial sediments off Branford, Connecticut. Interpretation of the sediment distribution is based on data from sampling stations (sample locations are shown on the bathymetric map elsewhere in this report), on tonal changes in backscatter on the sidescan sonar image, and on correlation of the textural and backscatter data with the bathymetry.
