This information is used to: (1) establish a regional baseline for temporal studies of contamination in Long Island Sound; (2) identify areas of high contamination in the Sound; (3) elucidate transport and deposition processes affecting contaminant distributions; and (4) generate predictive and assessment tools for regional management in Long Island Sound and elsewhere Purpose: Contaminant studies Time_Period_of_Content: Time_Period_Information: Single_Date/Time: Calendar_Date: 2000 Currentness_Reference: publication date Status: Progress: Complete Maintenance_and_Update_Frequency: None planned Spatial_Domain: Bounding_Coordinates: West_Bounding_Coordinate: -73.746300 East_Bounding_Coordinate: -72.043360 North_Bounding_Coordinate: 41.310320 South_Bounding_Coordinate: 40.877660 Keywords: Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: General Theme_Keyword: CMGP Theme_Keyword: Coastal and Marine Geology Program Theme_Keyword: contaminant studies Theme_Keyword: dbSEABED Theme_Keyword: geochemistry Theme_Keyword: Marine Aggregates Resources and Processes Theme_Keyword: sedimentary environments Theme_Keyword: U.S. Geological Survey Theme_Keyword: USGS Theme_Keyword: usSEABED Theme_Keyword: Woods Hole Science Center Place: Place_Keyword_Thesaurus: General Place_Keyword: Atlantic coast Place_Keyword: East Coast Place_Keyword: Long Island Sound Place_Keyword: New York Place_Keyword: United States Access_Constraints: None Use_Constraints: Public domain data from the U.S. Government are freely redistributable with proper metadata and source attribution.
