Publication_Date: 20040816 Title: NAWQA GIS ancillary data: Character and thickness of surficial Quaternary sediments for sampling points Online_Linkage: Description: Abstract: This data set consists of character and thickness of surficial Quaternary sediments in the glaciated United States east of the Rocky Mountains for NAWQA sampling sites. The surficial Q sediments data set is from Soller (2001). The sampling sites are from the NAWQA data warehouse. Purpose: This is one of the ancillary GIS data layers developed to characterize NAWQA sampling sites for national synthesis of water-quality data. Supplemental_Information: The source data covers only the glaciated area of the conterminous United States east of the Rocky Mountains. Time_Period_of_Content: Time_Period_Information: Multiple_Dates/Times: Single_Date/Time: Calendar_Date: 1991 Single_Date/Time: Calendar_Date: 2001 Currentness_Reference: The data set is intended to represent conditions for the early 1990's to late 1990's. Status: Progress: Complete Maintenance_and_Update_Frequency: NAWQA sampling sites are added as their locations become available.

Spatial_Data_Organization_Information: Indirect_Spatial_Reference: The data set is referenced by STAID, the station id of the NAWQA sampling site. Entity_and_Attribute_Information: Overview_Description: Entity_and_Attribute_Overview: The data set is organized by STAID (station id). The fields are: !STAID Station id !CODETHICK Total thickness of Quaternary sediments, in feet. ! These values represent an interval (e.g., 50-100 ft), ! not a precise value at a particular location. !SOURCETHICK Brief citation of source map !CODEQSURF Character (texture) of surficial Quaternary sediments. ! In areas of sufficient information, the data does ! not include thin surficial units; !SOURCEQSURF Brief citation of source map The codes and descriptions for CODETHICK are: !201 Quaternary sediment 0-50 ft thick !202 Quaternary sediment 50-100 ft thick !203 Quaternary sediment 100-200 ft thick !204 Quaternary sediment 200-400 ft thick !205 Quaternary sediment 400-600 ft thick !206 Quaternary sediment 600-800 ft thick !207 Quaternary sediment 800-1000 ft thick !208 Quaternary sediment 1000-1200 ft thick !209 Quaternary sediment 1200-1400 ft thick !210 Quaternary sediment 1400-1600 ft thick !211 Quaternary sediment more than 1600 ft thick ! 0 no data The codes and descriptions for CODEQSURF are: !101 coarse-grained stratified sediment !102 fine-grained stratified sediment !103 till !104 patchy Quaternary sediment !105 exposed bedrock or sediment not of glacial origin !106 organic-rich sediment !107 water where no geologic data are shown ! 0 no data Entity_and_Attribute_Detail_Citation: DDS38 Distribution_Information: Distributor: Contact_Information: Contact_Person_Primary: Contact_Person: Kerie Hitt Contact_Organization: USGS NAWQA Nutrients National Synthesis Contact_Address: Address_Type: Mailing address Address: 413 National Center City: Reston State_or_Province: VA Postal_Code: 20192 Country: USA Contact_Electronic_Mail_Address: kjhitt@usgs.gov Contact_Voice_Telephone: 703 648-6854 Contact_Instructions: Contact via email Distribution_Liability: USGS assumes no liability for the use of this data set.
