Glomb 2007 1.0 Open-File Report 2007-1138 Reston, VA U.S. Geological Survey 1 DVD-ROM http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2007/1138/ The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (MA CZM), is producing detailed geologic maps of the coastal sea floor. Imagery, originally collected by NOAA for charting purposes, provide a fundamental framework for research and management activities along this part of the Massachusetts coastline, show the composition and terrain of the seabed, and provide information on sediment transport and benthic habitat. Interpretive data layers were derived from multibeam echo-sounder and sidescan sonar data collected in Great Round Shoal Channel, a passage through the shoals at the eastern entrance to Nantucket Sound, off Cape Cod, Massachusetts. In June 2006, bottom photographs and surficial sediment data were acquired as part of a ground-truth reconaissance survey. The purpose of this dataset is to release the locations and identifiers of 124 bottom photographs collected at 32 stations on topographic and backscatter data of the sea floor in Great Round Shoal, offshore Massachusetts. The photos were collected with a modified Van Veen grab modified to carry still and video camera systems (small SEABOSS) during USGS survey 06005, conducted June 26, 2006. 20060626 ground condition Complete None planned -70.018330 -69.835000 41.448000 41.402500 USGS Metadata Identifier USGS:9f1d7a66-9bbe-414b-b498-191fef0cdd8b None U.S. Geological Survey USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program CMGP Woods Hole Science Center WHSC R/V RAFAEL ESRI Shapefile bottom photograph locations photo locations stations sea floor Field Activity Number 06005 ground-truth Open-File Report 2007-1138 point shapefile ISO 19115 Topic Category oceans location USGS Thesaurus navigational data underwater photography geospatial datasets None Cape Cod Massachusetts Nantucket Sound Great Round Shoal Channel North America United States Atlantic Ocean None Public domain data from the U.S. government are freely redistributable with proper metadata and source attribution.

Woods Hole MA 02543-1598 USA (508) 548-8700 x2314 (508) 457-2310 lpoppe@usgs.gov Edits to the metadata were made to fix any errors that MP v 2.9.30 flagged. This is necessary to enable the metadata to be successfully harvested for various data catalogs. In some cases, this meant adding text "Information unavailable" or "Information unavailable from original metadata" for those required fields that were left blank. Other minor edits were probably performed (title, publisher, publication place, etc.). The source information was incomplete and had to be modified to meet the standard. The original metadata specified the WGS84 as the ellipsoid name, but that is in conflict with the horizontal datum name and other geodetic model paramters specified, so that was changed to Geodetic Reference System 80. The metadata date (but not the metadata creator) was edited to reflect the date of these changes. The metadata available from a harvester may supersede metadata bundled within a download file. Compare the metadata dates to determine which metadata file is most recent. 20151117 U.S. Geological Survey VeeAnn A. Cross Marine Geologist mailing and physical address
