Location of bottom photographs along with images collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in 2015 along the Delmarva Peninsula, MD and VA (JPEG images and Esri point shapefile, Geographic, WGS 84)

The Delmarva Peninsula is a 220-kilometer-long headland, spit, and barrier island complex that was significantly affected by Hurricane Sandy in the fall of 2012. The U.S. Geological Survey conducted cruises during the summers of 2014 and 2015 to map the inner continental shelf of the Delmarva Peninsula using geophysical and sampling techniques to define the geologic framework that governs coastal system evolution at storm-event and longer timescales. Geophysical data collected during the cruises include swath bathymetric, sidescan sonar, chirp and boomer seismic reflection profiles, grab sample and bottom photograph data. More information about the USGS survey conducted as part of the Hurricane Sandy Response-- Geologic Framework and Coastal Vulnerability Study can be found at the project website or on the WHCMSC Field Activity Web pages: http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/project-pages/delmarva/, http://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2014-002-FA and http://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2015-001-FA.

德尔马瓦半岛（Delmarva Peninsula）是一处总长220千米的海岬、沙嘴与障壁岛复合体，于2012年秋季遭受飓风桑迪（Hurricane Sandy）的显著影响。美国地质调查局（U.S. Geological Survey, USGS）于2014年与2015年夏季开展巡航调查，通过地球物理与采样技术绘制该半岛内侧大陆架地图，以明确管控风暴事件及更长时间尺度下海岸系统演化的地质框架。本次巡航采集的地球物理数据涵盖条带测深、侧扫声呐、啁啾震源与电火花震源地震反射剖面、抓斗取样及海底摄影数据。有关本次作为飓风桑迪响应——地质框架与海岸脆弱性研究组成部分的USGS调查的更多信息，可查阅项目官方网站或WHCMSC野外活动网页：http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/project-pages/delmarva/、http://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2014-002-FA 以及 http://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2015-001-FA。2014年巡航采集的数据可通过以下链接获取：http://dx.doi.org/10.5066/F7MW2F60
