Interpretation of the distribution of Pleistocene gravelly sand deposits on the inner-continental shelf within the New York Bight, derived from seismic data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey, 1995 - 1999 (Esri polygon shapefile, Geographic, WGS84)

These data orginate from interpretations of seismic
reflection and sidescan-sonar data. The derivative data are in an
ESRI shapefile, polygon vector format and are intended to represent the
distribution of Pleistocene gravelly sand deposits throughout the inner-continental
shelf within the New York Bight. These data are helpful in
understanding the stratigraphic evolution of the inner-continental shelf, the regional sediment
transport system, and the influence of the inner-shelf framework
on coastal processes.

本数据集源自地震反射（seismic reflection）与侧扫声呐（sidescan-sonar）数据的解译结果。衍生数据集采用ESRI形状文件（ESRI shapefile）多边形矢量格式，旨在表征纽约湾（New York Bight）范围内内陆架（inner-continental shelf）区域的更新世（Pleistocene）砾质砂沉积分布特征。本数据集有助于解析内陆架的地层演化过程、区域沉积物输运系统，以及内陆架构架对海岸动力过程的影响。
