Description:
Abstract:
In this report, geophysical and sedimentologic data are presented which were collected on the shoreface and inner continental shelf of Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina (water depths 4-20 meters) in March, 1994, along with a preliminary interpretation that builds on previously and subsequently collected data. 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
