DeMott, L.M., Stumm, F., and Monti, J., 2023, Continuous marine seismic-reflection surveys and derived depth-to-bedrock point data from the East River, New York City, New York: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9O24NP7.

Summary

This data release contains data from five seismic-reflection surveys in New York’s East River between Governors Island and the Queensboro Bridge. Data are provided in the original proprietary data format, a SEGy data exchange format, and as a shape file of locations and depths to bedrock. Depths to bedrock were derived from the seismic signal travel time and an assumed speed of sound of 5,000 feet/second.
