By coordinating data collections between these many institutions and agencies, the USGS is able to provide comprehensive coverage within the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone. Additional information on usSEABED and the research projects it supports are at: http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/. Sources of data include, but are not limited to: U.S. Geological Survey U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Minerals Management Service National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution University of Maine University of New Hampshire University of Rhode Island The dbSEABED program, in part, parses word-based descriptive data such as "brown fine sand with abundant shells; seagrass and some pebbles; whiff of h2s" into numeric, georeferenced data. This process extends the data coverage of the seabed by using words, an important data type characterizing the seabed. ARSENAULT, MATTHEWA.
