    MAPS SHOWING GEOLOGY AND SHALLOW STRUCTURE OF EASTERN RHODE ISLAND SOUND AND VINEYARD SOUND, MASSACHUSETTS Charles J. O'Hara and Robert N. Oldale U.S. Geological Survey Miscellaneous Field Studies Map MF-1186 1980 INTRODUCTION This report presents results of marine studies conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) during the summers of 1975 and 1976 in eastern Rhode Island Sound and Vineyard Sound (fig. 1) located off the southeastern coast of Massachusetts. The study was made in cooperation with the Massachusetts Department of Public Works and the New England Division of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It covered an area of the Atlantic Inner Continental Shelf between latitude 41° 12' and 41° 33'N, and between longitude 70° 37' and 71° 15'W (see index map). Major objectives included assessment of sand and gravel resources, environmental impact evaluation both of offshore mining of these resources and of offshore disposal of solid waste and dredge spoil material, identification and mapping of the offshore geology, and determination of the geologic history of this part of the Inner Shelf. A total of 670 kilometers (km) of closely spaced high- resolution seismic-reflection profiles, 224 km of side-scan sonar data, and 16 cores totaling 90 meters (m) of recovered sediment, were collected during the investigation. This report is companion to geologic maps published for Cape Cod Bay (Oldale and O'Hara, 1975) and Buzzards Bay, Mass. (Robb and Oldale, 1977). ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The authors are indebted to the staffs of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), the Marine Biological Laboratory, and the Marine Science Consortium for their cooperation in the use of their research vessels.

    PRELIMINARY DRAFT Pacific Northwest Quarterly Index Volumes 1–98 N­R Compiled by Janette Rawlings A few notes on the use of this index The index was alphabetized using the word­by­word system. In this system, alphabetizing continues until the end of the first word. Subsequent words are considered only when other entries begin with the same word. The locators consist of the volume number, issue number, and page numbers. So, in the entry “Gamblepudding and Sons, 36(3):261–62,” 36 refers to the volume number, 3 to the issue number, and 261­62 to the page numbers. ii “‘Names Joined Together as Our Hearts Are’: The N Friendship of Samuel Hill and Reginald H.

  • Multi-Modal Approach for Benthic Impact Assessments in Moraine Habitats: a Case Study at the Block Island Wind Farm
    Estuaries and Coasts https://doi.org/10.1007/s12237-020-00818-w SPECIAL ISSUE: SHALLOW WATER MAPPING Multi-modal Approach for Benthic Impact Assessments in Moraine Habitats: a Case Study at the Block Island Wind Farm Marisa L. Guarinello1 & Drew A. Carey1 Received: 3 May 2019 /Revised: 9 August 2020 /Accepted: 10 August 2020 # The Author(s) 2020 Abstract Benthic assessment techniques utilized in soft sediment areas are of limited utility in glacial moraine habitats that are structurally complex and largely composed of hard substrata. We present a multi-modal approach consisting of multibeam bathymetry, video, and still imagery that collectively provides the knowledge base necessary to perform impact assessments in these habitats. Baseline and post-construction surveys were conducted adjacent to the Block Island Wind Farm to develop and test these methodologies within the context of offshore wind development, specifically for detecting and documenting anchoring-related impacts to moraine habitats. Habitat data were evaluated using the substrate and biotic components of the national classification standard, the Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard, recommended by federal regulators, with modifications to present results in terms of predicted vulnerability to disturbance. Habitats near the wind farm were diverse and patchy, ranging from rippled gravelly sand to continuous cobble/boulder fields with high biotic cover. Anchor furrows were detected in moderate value habitats in bathymetric and video data. The multi-modal survey approach tested at the Block Island Wind Farm and presented here is now specifically recommended by federal agencies and is being used to inform efforts currently underway to map and assess benthic habitats for a number of U.S.
