Data collected to support these studies form these basis of a regional-scale study of the geologic framework for the Sound. This report contains high-resolution seismic-reflection profiles from six cruises and core information from three major coring programs. Together these datasets provide a regional coverage for most of Long Island and Block Island Sounds. These records and supporting documents, which were originally generated only analog form, have been converted to 1) images of the full-resolution and browse versions of the seismic records; 2) core description logs and photographs; 3) supplementary documentation such as cruise reports and historical summary reports; and 4) digital Geographic Information System (GIS) data layers of the seismic navigation and core locations. Purpose: This DVD contains images of unprocessed analog high-resolution seismic-reflection profiles, core logs and photographs, and navigational data collected in Long Island Sound through a cooperative between the USGS and the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection. The purpose of this report is to preserve the data by converting the seismic profiles, core descriptions, and ancillary reports into digital form, and to organize these files into a product that can be more readily accessed and disseminated.
