Much of the data was previously summarized in Figure A4 of https://doi.org/10.1130/GES01356.1 .\nPlotted here, on the accompanying map, are all 573 localities in the updated compilation <Sand_main.csv>\u2014nearly half of which do not provide much if any evidence for marine inundation. The main attribute of each locality is one of four summary categories:  \nPervasive\u2014Sand covers more than 3/4 of area and typically thicker than 5 cm (132 localities).\nPatchy\u2014Sand covers less than 3/4 of area and typically thinner than 5 cm (185 localities). \nScant\u2014Called \u201cSand scarce or absent\u201d in https://doi.org/10.1130/GES01356.1 (256 localities).\nPleistocene\u2014Sand grains evidently weathered from Pleistocene limestone (23 localities).\nThe sand, particularly where pervasive, commonly accompanies coral erratics and anomalous limestone clasts. Where patchy it extends farther inland than they do. Locally this mapping is ambiguous. Some of the sand has probably been redistributed by wind. The sand designated Pleistocene includes, in a correction, 8 sites mistakenly interpreted in https://doi.org/10.1130/GES01356.1 as Holocene marine sand.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P9TLLBOC", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.6492a093d34ef77fcb009bd7.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_6492a093d34ef77fcb009bd7", "keyword": ["British Virgin Islands", "Caribbean Sea", "USGS:6492a093d34ef77fcb009bd7", "corals", "farming", "geoscientificInformation", "hurricanes", "sand", "tsunamis"], "modified": "2023-10-27T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-64.37440, 18.69100, -64.27260, 18.74810", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Presence and absence of a widespread unit of Holocene marine sand observed in 2008 to 2017 in tsunami-hazard assessments on Anegada, British Virgin Islands"}
