Resource Abstract:
- description: The Delmarva Peninsula is a 220-kilometer-long headland, spit, and barrier island complex that was significantly
affected by Hurricane Sandy. A U.S. Geological Survey cruise was conducted in the summer of 2014 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. Data collected during the 2014 cruise include swath bathymetry, sidescan
sonar, chirp and boomer seismic-reflection profiles, acoustic Doppler current profiler, and sample and bottom photograph data.
Processed data in raster and vector format are released here for the swath bathymetry, sidescan sonar, and seismic-reflection
profiles. 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: https://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/project-pages/delmarva/
