Geological interpretation of bathymetric and backscatter imagery of the sea floor off eastern Cape Cod, Massachusetts Geological interpretation of bathymetric and backscatter imagery of the sea floor off eastern Cape Cod, Massachusetts
The imagery, interpretive data layers, and data presented herein were derived from multibeam echo-sounder data collected off Eastern Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and from the stations occupied to verify these acoustic data. The basic data layers show sea-floor topography, sun-illuminated shaded relief, and backscatter intensity; interpretive layers show the distributions of surficial...

New seafloor map of the Puerto Rico Trench helps assess earthquake and tsunami hazards New seafloor map of the Puerto Rico Trench helps assess earthquake and tsunami hazards
The Puerto Rico Trench, the deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean, is located where the North American (NOAM) plate is subducting under the Caribbean plate (Figure l). The trench region may pose significant seismic and tsunami hazards to Puerto Rico and the U.S.Virgin Islands, where 4 million U.S. citizens reside. Widespread damage in Puerto Rico and Hispaniola from an earthquake in 1787...

High-resolution Quaternary seismic stratigraphy of the New York Bight continental shelf High-resolution Quaternary seismic stratigraphy of the New York Bight continental shelf
A principal focus for the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Coastal and Marine Geology Program (marine.usgs.gov) is regional reconnaissance mapping of inner-continental shelf areas, with initial emphasis on heavily used areas of the sea floor near major population centers. The objectives are to develop a detailed regional synthesis of the sea-floor geology in order to provide information for...
