Analysis of Geological Date from the North Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea

by Quinn William Vollmer and Brittney Fitzgerald

Sedimentation data are important for predicting climate change, analyzing benthic habitats and determining ideal locations for off-shore structures. We used grain size, color, composition, and sediment shape to understand off-shore and nearshore trends. Sediment furthest from the land was much finer and rounded in comparison to samples closet to land at San Juan Harbor.
