Abstract

For year 10th-year agreement of the Mineral Management Service-Association of American State Geologists (MMS-AASG) Continental Margins Program, the Maryland Geological Survey has established a repository of vibracores collected on Maryland’s continental shelf. Included in this repository are the vibracores collected for the MMS-AASG Continental Margins Program, the Ocean City Beach Replenishment Project, and several other related projects. Over 270 vibracores are currently archived in the repository at the Matapeake Facility on Kent Island.

As part of the repository, the Maryland Geological Survey has developed a database containing pertinent information regarding the cores and information/data from various analyses completed on the cores.
