Interpretation of the thickness of Holocene deposits on the inner-continental shelf within the New York Bight, derived from seismic data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey, 1995 - 1999 (Grid, UTM Zone 18N, WGS84 and Esri polyline shapefile, Geographic, WGS84)

These data orginate from interpretations of seismic
reflection profile data. The derivative data are in a grid
format and are intended to represent the thickness and
distribution of Holocene deposits throughout the
inner-continental shelf within the New York Bight. The
gridded Holocene thickness is 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. The grid showing
thickness of Holocene sediment is an important factor in the
framework of the coastal region.
