Development of the Geomorphological Map for Fire Island National Seashore: Principal Characteristics and Components.

摘要

This report incorporates the geomorphological map, its philosophical underpinnings, legend descriptions, and the GIS data layers for the Fire Island National Seashore, Patchogue, New York. The theme of the map follows the current scientific organization of geomorphological mapping that includes morphometrics, causative processes, and evolutionary stages. Surface form was interpreted from data sets including recent orthophotos, recent Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data sets, augmented with spatial information on soils and vegetation, and field visits.
