- Abstract:
-
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CT DEEP), is producing detailed geologic maps of the coastal sea floor. Bathymetry and sidescan-sonar imagery, originally collected by NOAA for charting purposes, provide a fundamental framework for research and management activities in Long Island Sound, shows the composition and terrain of the seabed, and provides information on sediment transport and benthic habitat. During April-May 2009 NOAA completed hydrographic survey H12013 offshore of the entrance to the Connecticut River, and during November 2009 and April 2010 bottom photographs and surficial sediment data were acquired as part of two ground-truth reconnaissance surveys of this area. Two interpretive data layers were derived from the multibeam echo-sounder and the ground-truth data used to verify them. For more information on the ground-truth surveys see: <http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/operations/ia/public_ds_info.php?fa=2009-059-FA> and <http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/operations/ia/public_ds_info.php?fa=2010-010-FA>
- Purpose:
-
To release an interpretation of sedimentary environments based on bathymetry data collected during NOAA survey H12013 and sediment samples and bottom photography collected during USGS surveys 2009-059-FA and 2010-010-FA in eastern Long Island Sound, in a geographic, WGS84 coordinate system. These data can be used to provide information on surface geology and sedimentary processes.

The original acoustic data acquired during NOAA survey H12013 aboard the NOAA ship Thomas Jefferson and the portion of the sediment samples and bottom photography collected during USGS surveys 2009-059-FA and 2010-010-FA that fall within the study area.

-
- Process_Description:
-
GeoTIFF images of the multibeam-bathymetry and sidescan-sonar data from survey H12013 and the point data layer from grain-size analyses and textural descriptions of sediments collected from USGS cruises 2009-059-FA and 2010-010-FA in the survey area were imported into the ArcView 3.3 GIS project view. Sedimentary environments were interpreted based on geomorphology and relief in the bathymetry, backscatter intensity of the sidescan sonar, and on the bottom photography and textural data. 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 traced at a scale of 1:4,000 to 1:5,000; union and subtraction edits were conducted at 1:5,000 to 1:8,500 scales; use of this interpretation data layer is not recommended at scales of less than 1:24,000.

ArcGIS 9.2 was used to remove overlaps (all polygons with a specific SEDENV attribute value were combined using the Merge command, working from the topmost attribute layer the overlap was removed using the Clip command, and then the merged polygons were exploded to recreate the original individual polygons without overlaps) and extraneous "slivers."
