Resource Abstract:
- description: Hurricane Sandy, the largest storm of historical record in the Atlantic basin, severely impacted southern Long
Island, New York in October 2012. In 2014, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE), conducted a high-resolution multibeam echosounder survey with Alpine Ocean Seismic Survey, Inc., offshore of Fire
Island and western Long Island, New York to document the post-storm conditions of the inner continental shelf. The objectives
of the survey were to determine the impact of Hurricane Sandy on the inner continental shelf morphology and modern sediment
distribution, and provide additional geospatial data for sediment transport studies and coastal change model development.
