Shells and Shifting Shorelines: Paleoenvironmental Reconstruction in the Western Gulf of Mexico Outer Continental Shelf (2024)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Approaches to Submerged and Coastal Landscapes", at the 2024 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. A NOAA grant funded project was designed to create baseline characterizations of the now-submerged paleolandscape associated with the shoreline stand ca. 8,000 yrs BP that would have been available to early human populations in the northwestern portion of the Gulf of Mexico’s (GOM) northwestern outer continental shelf (OCS)....
South Carolina-BOEM Cooperative Agreement Preliminary Results (2018)
In 2014, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management’s Office of Renewable Energy Program signed a Cooperative Agreement with the South Carolina Sea Grant Consortium to explore potential Wind Energy Areas (WEA) offshore in South Carolina’s portion of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). Project objectives included conducting geophysical and archaeological survey of the seafloor 11-16 miles offshore North Myrtle Beach and Winyah Bay at future WEAs. The project deployed a suite of marine electronic...
