Summary

In June 2022, the U.S. Geological Survey, in collaboration with the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management, collected high-resolution geophysical data, in Nantucket Sound to understand the regional geology in the vicinity of Horseshoe Shoal. This effort is part of a long-term collaboration between the USGS and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to map the State’s waters, support research on the Quaternary evolution of coastal Massachusetts, resolve the influence of sea-level change and sediment supply on coastal evolution, and strengthen efforts to understand the type, distribution, and quality of subtidal marine habitats. This collaboration produces high-resolution geologic data that serve the needs of research, management, [...]

Purpose

Water column speed of sound data were acquired periodically throughout the survey and used during collection and post-processing of Reson T-20P bathymetry data. Sound speed profile data are included in this publication as CARIS SVP format text files, PNG image plots of the profiles, and an ESRI point shapefile of the profile locations.
