Forrest 2011 1.0 Open-File Report 2011-1004 Reston, VA U.S. Geological Survey 1 DVD-ROM http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2011/1004/ 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/ The purpose of this data set is to release the locations, identifiers, grain-size data and(or) textural descriptions of surficial sediments collected at 25 stations on bathymetric data of the sea floor offshore west of Gay Head, Massachusetts, in eastern Rhode Island Sound in Geographic, WGS84. These data can be used to provide information on surface geology and sedimentary processes. 20100721 20100912 ground condition Complete None planned -71.085687 -70.881083 41.349823 41.267740 USGS Metadata Identifier USGS:d40c42d7-d9e0-40f1-a4ce-c5b66d6a4a55 None U.S. Geological Survey USGS Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center WHCMSC Coastal and Marine Geology Program CMGP RV Rafael ESRI point Shapefile surficial sediment classification sediment data sediments sediment samples ground-truth gravel sand silty sand stations sea floor Field Activity Number 2010-033-FA Van Veen grab sampler SEABOSS Open-File Report 2011-1004 OFR 2011-1004 RV Connecticut Field Activity Number 2010-005-FA Info Bank ID R-33-10-RI Info Bank ID U-5-10-BZ ISO 19115 Topic Category environment location oceans geoscientificInformation USGS Thesaurus grain-size analysis navigational data geospatial datasets sea-floor characteristics marine geology None northeast United States North America United States Atlantic Ocean Rhode Island Sound Massachusetts Rhode Island Martha's Vineyard Gay Head Cuttyhunk Island Nomans Land Aquinnah None Public domain data from the U.S. Government are freely redistributable with proper metadata and source attribution.

All available grain-size data collected within the study area during the RV Rafael cruise 2010-033-FA are included in this data set. Stations range from 922-1 to 922-22. There is no station 922-5. Grain-size data from 4 samples collected during RV Connecticut cruise 2010-005-FA within the study area (922-174, 922-175, 922-192, and 922-194) are also included. Navigation was by differential GPS. Although GPS gave the ships' positions rather than that of the SEABOSS, the antenna was located less than 5 m from the blocks on the davit and A-frame, water depths were generally shallow, and scope of the cable minimal. Therefore, SEABOSS offset from the antenna was less than 10 m. Depths provided are in meters and are uncorrected for tides. The source information was incomplete and had to be modified to meet the standard.

Information unavailable from original metadata. Twenty five samples were collected with a Van Veen grab sampler (Blackwood and Parolski, 2001) equipped with a still and video camera. Visual descriptions were used for rocky/bouldery stations at 9 additional stations where samples could not be collected. Samples were analyzed in the sediment laboratory at the USGS Woods Hole Science Center. Coarse fraction determined by sieve; fine fraction determined by Coulter Counter. See Poppe, Williams, and Paskevich (2005) for analytical specifics. 2010 2010_033_922seddata.txt Larry Poppe U.S. Geological Survey Geologist mailing and physical address

The file was added as an Event theme and subsequently converted to a shapefile. This includes verbal textural descriptions for the 9 stations where samples could not be collected. A value of -9999 is a NODATA value entered where samples were not physically collected. 2010_033_922seddata.txt 2010 2010_033_922seddata.shp Larry Poppe U.S. Geological Survey Geologist mailing and physical address

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 2.9.32 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 orignal metadata only had source information time period of content. In order to pass the metadata harvester, the rest of the required source information fields were populated. The distribution format name was modified in an attempt to be more consistent with other metadata files of the same data format. The URL to the browse graphic had to be fixed. 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. 20160421 U.S. Geological Survey VeeAnn A. Cross Marine Geologist mailing and physical address
