Inner Continental Shelf

Shoreface-connected ridges (SFCR) are series of ridges and troughs obliquely oriented towards the shore in the inner-continental shelf. They exist sporadically from Long Island to Florida on the North American Atlantic Shelf with maximum expression on the Delmarva peninsula (Swift et al., 1978), including the western half of Fire Island, NY. The long-term historic shoreline record of Fire Island (e.g., Allen and LaBash, 1997) shows persistent undulations in shoreline shape at an alongshore scale similar to the alongshore scale of the ridges. These ridges and troughs are spaced approximately every 2 to 3 km in the alongshore and occupy a total length about 14 km in the cross-shore direction with an average crest to trough height of 2 m.

Inner Continental Shelf

The bathymetry and sediment distribution of Barkley Sound and the adjacent continental shelf off the west coast of Vancouver Island have been markedly affected by the late Pleistocene glaciation and modern sedimentary processes. Several fjords widen and coalesce to form the sound, which is continuous with glacially eroded basins on the inner continental shelf. These basins are flanked by flat-topped banks, the larger of which merge with the outer shelf—a gently sloping plain that terminates at the 200 m isobath, 58 km from shore.Modern sediments are restricted mainly to Barkley Sound where the glaciated "basin and sill" bathymetry and an estuarine circulatory system prevent the predominantly muddy detritus from reaching the continental shelf. Relict sands and gravels cover most of the shelf except within basins and drowned river valleys where muds prevail. This relict cover was initially dispersed by glaciers and meltwater streams, then later inundated during the Holocene Transgression, and is now being partly reworked by the present hydraulic regime. Near the shelf-break relict sediments are sparse and authigenic sands (glaucontized mudstone pellets) predominate together with residual sediments derived from submarine exposures of Tertiary mudstone.
