High Resolution Stratigraphy of Safety Harbor, Tampa Bay: Vibracore Correlations

Duncan, David S. (University of South Florida); Regis, Jennifer L. (Eckerd College); Brooks, Gregg R. (Eckerd College); Hansen, Mark E. (USGS)


Methods

Data was acquired using an EdgeTech GEO-STAR SUBBOTTOM PROFILER system with an SB-424 tow fish sending a 4-24 kHz frequency pulse.

Seismic lines were processed using the GEO-STAR Full Spectrum Sonar computer program.

Reflections have been correlated to cores based on visual comparisons and preliminary grain size data.

Note that fine-grained sediment overlying coarse-grained sediment typically infers a transition from mud to sand.

Similarly, coarse-grained sediment overlying fine-grained sediment is indicative of a transition from sand to mud within the core.

Navigation was obtained using DGPS.
