Samples collected along transects off the Eastern United States in 1938 (STETSON38 shapefile)

Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

This study was undertaken to provide information on the characteristics and distribution of surficial sediments off the eastern United States. Accordingly, long traverses were run across the continental shelf and in most case carrying over the shelf break. This data set includes data from those 9 traverses which were conducted north of Virginia. These data constitute the first systematic sampling of the U.S. Atlantic margin to show the effects of environmental factors (e.g. increasing distance from shore, water depth) on the sediment distribution. Sampling was performed with a primitive grab sampler; navigational methods were not discussed in this report.
