Synopsis

This book meticulously analyzes a series of seabed surveys and geological samples taken from the Atlantic inner continental shelf off of New York’s Long Island to detail the processes that have shaped the landforms and sediment deposits in the area. The research builds upon the earlier discovery of Hudson Canyon to examine the region’s other submarine features, including sediment deposits left behind by glaciers, river valleys, and ancient shorelines. The author provides an in-depth look at the geological history of Long Island, bringing together the latest in scientific research to chronicle its evolution. The book concludes by exploring the potential impact of these findings on the future of the region's coastal environment.
