Rhode Island, Geology, 1840 (Raster Image)

This layer is a georeferenced raster image of the historic paper map entitled: A geological map of Rhode-Island, by Charles T. Jackson. It was published in 1840. Scale [1:190,080]. Covers Rhode Island and a portion of southeastern Massachusetts. The image inside the map neatline is georeferenced to the surface of the earth and fit to the Rhode Island State Plane Coordinate System (Feet) (FIPS 3800). All map collar and inset information is also available as part of the raster image, including any inset maps, profiles, statistical tables, directories, text, illustrations, or other information associated with the principal map. This map shows features such as geological features, mines, mills, railroads, hotels, selected residences with names of property owners, drainage, town and county boundaries, and more. Relief shown by hachures. This layer is part of a selection of digitally scanned and georeferenced historic maps of New England from the Harvard Map Collection. These maps typically portray both natural and manmade features. The selection represents a range of regions, originators, ground condition dates, scales, and map purposes.

AMS C-14 ages of coretops collected on RRS Charles Darwin cruise CD159, July 2004, N. Atlantic, for the NERC RAPID programme

Material and data were collected at 41 sites in the subpolar North Atlantic Ocean between Scotland and Newfoundland, during the RRS CharlesDarwin CD159 cruise in July 2004 (McCave, 2005). Sites were selected to reflect the major inputs of water that becomes the North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW); the Iceland-Scotland Overflow Water (ISOW), the Denmark Strait Overflow Water (DSOW) and the Labrador Sea Water (LSW). Areas cored were the south Iceland Rise, SE Greenland slope/rise and Eirik Drift, and the Labrador margin. A total of 29 box cores, 19 piston cores, 6 kasten cores, 9 short gravity cores and 20 CTD casts as well as 28 surface water samples were collected during the cruise. Here we present sediment core-top sample ages. The cores were sampled at 1 or 0.5 cm intervals and we used the top 1 or 2 cm, depending on availability of foraminifera in the samples. Sediment samples were disaggregated on an end-over-end wheel, wet sieved at >63 um, and dry sieved to 63-150 and >150 um. Accelerator Mass Spectrometer (AMS) radiocarbon dating was done for each core top based on between 900-1600 monospecific planktonic foraminifera (Globigerina bulloides or Neogloboquadrina pachyderma (sinistral)). All dates were of modern or late Holocene age except site RAPID-08-5B (9806 ± 38 uncorrected 14C years BP) and site RAPID-14-10B (11543 ± 40 uncorrected 14C years BP). The >150 um fraction was split until approximately 300 foraminifera remained and counted for number of lithic grains, benthic foraminifera, planktonic foraminifera and foraminifera fragments. In all but the shallowest sample (Greenland rise, 761m water depth) benthic foraminifera constituted less than 2% of the total >150 um fraction of the sample.
