- Abstract:
-
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), is producing detailed geologic maps of the coastal sea floor. Bathymetry, originally collected by NOAA for charting purposes, provides a fundamental framework for research and management activities off southern New England, shows the composition and terrain of the seabed, and provides information on sediment transport and benthic habitat. During July-August 2008 NOAA completed hydrographic survey H11922 west of Gay Head, Massachusetts, in Rhode Island Sound and during July and September 2010 bottom photographs and surficial sediment data were acquired as part of ground-truth reconnaissance surveys of this area. Interpretations were derived from the multibeam echo-sounder data and the ground-truth data used to verify them. For more information on the ground-truth surveys see <http://quashnet.er.usgs.gov/data/2010/10033/> and <http://quashnet.er.usgs.gov/data/2010/10005/>
- Purpose:
-
To release an interpretation of sedimentary environments based on bathymetry data collected during NOAA survey H11922 and sediment samples and bottom photography collected during USGS surveys 2010-033-FA and 2010-005-FA of the sea floor off Gay Head, Massachusetts, in eastern Rhode Island Sound, in a geographic, WGS84 coordinate system. These data can be used to provide information on surface geology and sedimentary processes.

Ground condition, however, calendar date is for the bottom samples and photography. Multibeam bathymetry data used in the interpretation were collected during 20080716 to 20080822.
- Source_Contribution:
-
The original acoustic data acquired during NOAA survey H11922 aboard the NOAA ship Thomas Jefferson and the portion of the sediment samples and bottom photography collected during USGS surveys 2010-033-FA and 2010-005-FA that fall within the study area. Historical grain-size data used in the interpretation are from Poppe and others (1998).
- Process_Step:
-
- Process_Description:
-
The geographic GeoTIFF image of the multibeam bathymetry data from survey H11922 and the point data layer from grain-size analyses of sediments collected from this survey area were imported into the ArcView 3.3 GIS project view. Sedimentary environments were interpreted based on geomorphology and relief in the bathymetry, on the bottom photography and on the new and historical textural analyses. The individually interpreted environments (erosion or nondeposition, coarse bedload transport, and sorting and reworking) were outlined using the available graphic tools then converted to an ESRI shapefile using ArcView 3.3. Polygons were were traced at a scale of 1:4,000, but union and subtraction edits were conducted at 1:5,000 to 1:8,500 scales. Therefore, use of this interpretation datalayer is not recommended at scales of less than 1:10,000.
