| dcterms.description | from the abstract, "We combined high-resolution remote sensing techniques with detailed study of the physical and faunal characteristics at point locations in different seafloor environments within the Oyster Bay Cold Spring Harbor Complex, the Huntington-Northport Bay Complex, and Port Jefferson Harbor, including Conscience Bay. High-resolution backscatter and bathymetric maps created by side scan and multibeam sonar surveys were used to classify the sea bed into provinces. Samples for macrofauna and sediment properties were collected within each province to provide
"ground truth" for the acoustic maps. Oyster Bay, Huntington Harbor, and Port Jefferson Harbor were sampled at 40, 38, and 50 locations, respectively, with two replicate samples at each location. Samples were processed for organic content, grain-size, and fauna. Multivariate analysis was used to identify biotopes, i.e., areas of uniform sedimentary and faunal characteristics. Results indicated that acoustic mapping of the estuary floor provided a useful foundation from which to map benthic biotopes, that ground truth sampling will require a greater effort than that carried out in the present study in order to collect enough species to adequately characterize community structure, and that although most areas in the bays contained viable benthic communities, all three study areas showed some evidence of stress." | en_US |

| dcterms.provenance | The works contained within this collection are the final products of a joint collaboration between the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences (SOMAS); the MASIC Library and the Preservation Department. The project was conducted during the winter through summer 2013 academic semesters, and its focus was to convert older, archival records generated by SOMAS and maintained within the University Libraries to accessible, electronic resources in support of research and learning. All works are based on the original, analog (paper) records as released by SOMAS, except where born digital only records have been loaded to the system. All works have been preserved for historic purposes, please see the Marine and Atmospheric Sciences Library for assistance in viewing the analog originals upon which this project is based. | en_US |
