Lidar_MHW_Shorelines_1998_2014.shp - Mean High Water (MHW) Shorelines Extracted from Lidar Data for Dauphin Island, Alabama from 1998 to 2014.


This shapefile consists of Dauphin Island, AL shorelines extracted from lidar data collected from November 1998 to January 2014. This dataset contains 14 Mean High Water (MHW) shorelines separated into 37 shoreline segments alongshore Dauphin Island, AL.  The individual sections are divided according to location along the island  and shoreline type: open ocean, back-barrier, marsh shoreline.

Raw lidar point data was converted to a gridded surface, from which a contour of the operational MHW shoreline (0.24 m North American Vertical Datum of 1988 [NAVD 88]; Weber and others, 2005) was identified and extracted.  This produced a continuous MHW shoreline for each of the lidar datasets from 1998 – 2014.

Shorelines for all 14 dates were compiled into a database for use with the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS; Thieler and others, 2009) to quantify rates of shoreline change over the 1998-2014 time period. The migration of shorelines through time is presented as the linear regression rate (LRR) in the associated transect files (https://coastal.er.usgs.gov/data-release/provisional/ip086178/).

Sea-floor videos and locations of bottom video tracklines collected in Cape Cod Bay, Massachusetts, in September 2019 by the U.S. Geological Survey during field activity 2019-034-FA (MP4 video files and polyline shapefile, GCS WGS 84)

Accurate data and maps of sea floor geology are important first steps toward protecting fish habitat, delineating marine resources, and assessing environmental changes due to natural or human impacts. To address these concerns the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (CZM), comprehensively mapped the Cape Cod Bay sea floor to characterize the surface and shallow subsurface geologic framework. Geophysical data collected include swath bathymetry, backscatter, and seismic reflection profile data. Ground-truth data, including sediment samples, underwater video, and bottom photographs were also collected. This effort is part of a long-term collaboration between the USGS and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to map the State's waters, support research on the Quaternary evolution of coastal Massachusetts, the influence of sea-level change and sediment supply on coastal evolution, and efforts to understand the type, distribution, and quality of subtidal marine habitats. This collaboration produces high-resolution geologic maps and Geographic Information System (GIS) data that serve the needs of research, management and the public. Data collected as part of this mapping cooperative continue to be released in a series of USGS Open-File Reports and Data Releases (https://www.usgs.gov/centers/whcmsc/science/geologic-mapping-massachusetts-seafloor). This data release provides the geophysical and geologic sampling data collected in Cape Cod Bay during USGS Field Activities 2019-002-FA and 2019-034-FA in 2019.

Autonomous Flow-Thru (AFT) pH data of the West Florida Shelf: USGS Cruise 11BHM01

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) is conducting a study on the effects of climate change on ocean acidification within the Gulf of Mexico; dealing specifically with the effect of ocean acidification on marine organisms and habitats. To investigate this, the USGS participated in cruises in the West Florida Shelf and northern Gulf of Mexico regions aboard the R/V Weatherbird II, a ship of opportunity lead by Dr. Kendra Daly, of the University of South Florida (USF). This cruise occurred May 03 - 09, 2011, leaving from and returned to Saint Petersburg, Florida. The USGS collected data pertaining to pH, dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), and total alkalinity in discrete samples. Thirty-four underway discrete samples were collected approximately hourly over a span of 1632 kilometer (km) track line, additionally 44 discrete samples were taken at four stations, these were taken at various depths. Flow-through conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) data were collected, which includes temperature, salinity, and pH. Corroborating the USGS data are the vertical CTD profiles collected by USF, using the following sensors: CTD, oxygen, chlorophyll fluorescence, optical backscatter, and transmissometer. Additionally, discrete depth samples for nutrients, chlorophyll, and particulate organic carbon/nitrogen were collected.

Approximate western limit of glaciation within the Standing Rock Indian Reservation, Sioux County, North Dakota, and Corson County, South Dakota

This coverage contains information about the western limit of glaciation within the 
Standing Rock Indian Reservation, Sioux County, North Dakota, and Corson County, 
South Dakota. The digital data were produced by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in 
cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
		
Figure 5 in Howells (1982) was scanned and digitized on-screen to create this coverage. 
See cross reference information for more detail. 
		
According to the map credit for figure 5, the geology for Sioux County was based on 
soil maps prepared by the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs (1959), data collected by 
Randich (1975), and a geologic map by Carlson (1978). The geology for Corson 
County was based on soil maps prepared by the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs (1959) 
and unpublished maps of the U.S Soil Conservation Service, modified by test drilling 
and field reconnaissance.
		
The following is from the description of the surficial geology by Howells (1982).
		
The surface geology, like the topography, has been strongly influenced by continental 
glaciation and by Pleistocene erosion on a land surface underlain by soft unconsolidated 
deposits of continental and marine shale and sandstone. The Standing Rock Indian Reservation 
is on the western margin of the midwestern area that was invaded by great ice sheets during 
the last million years. Though at most only 60 percent of the reservation apparently was 
covered by glacial ice, the effects of the glaciers were pervasive: not only did the ice sheets 
grind away the land surface in the areas that they invaded, but they also changed the courses 
of rivers and created a new river--the Missouri. In addition, changes in weather patterns 
associated with glaciation profoundly influenced streamflow and erosion in the area not reached 
by the ice sheets.
		
Because the Standing Rock Indian Reservation was on the border of the glaciated region, much 
of the area is free of glacial deposits and most of the glacial deposits present are thin, 
discontinuous, and of negligible hydrologic importance.

Wetted channel and bar features for the Tillamook, Trask, Wilson, Kilchis, and Miami Rivers, Oregon in 1939

The Tillamook Bay subbasins and Nehalem River basins encompass 1,369 and 2,207 respective square 
kilometers of northwestern Oregon and drain to the Pacific Ocean. The Tillamook, Trask, Wilson, Kilchis, 
and Miami Rivers flow into Tillamook Bay near the towns of Tillamook and Garibaldi. The Wilson and Trask 
River basins cover the largest areas (500 and 451 square kilometers, respectively) whereas the Tillamook 
and Kilchis Rivers encompass similar sized areas (156 and 169 square kilometers, respectively) and the 
Miami River the smallest area (94 square kilometers). In cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 
the U.S. Geological Survey completed a reconnaissance-level assessment of channel condition and 
bed-material transport relevant to the permitting of in-stream gravel extraction along the the major alluvial 
portions of six river systems, including the lowermost 14.1 km of the Tillamook River, 16.3 km of the Trask 
River, 15.2 km of the Wilson River, 7.8 km of the Kilchis River, 11.6 km of the Miami River, and 31.4 km of 
the Nehalem River. To support these analyses, digital channel maps were produced to depict channel and 
floodplain conditions in the Tillamook Bay sub-basins and Nehalem River basin from different time periods. 
GIS layers defining the wetted channel and bar features and channel centerline in the study area were 
developed for four time periods: 1939, 1967, 2005, and 2009. For this project, the active channel was defined 
as area typically inundated during annual high flows, and includes the low-flow channel as well as side channels, 
islands, and channel-flanking gravel bars. The wetted channel and bar feature datasets were developed by 
digitizing from aerial photographs. Aerial photographs from 1939 and 1967 were scanned, rectified, and 
mosaicked for this project (See metadata for each photograph set for more information on the rectification 
process and resolution of each dataset). Digital orthophotographs from 2005 and 2009 are publicly available.

Estimated potentiometric surface by D'Agnese and others (1998), for the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system study, Nevada and California

D'Agnese and others (1998) developed a potentiometric surface to conceptualize the regional ground-water 
flow system and to construct numerical flow models of the Death Valley region, Nevada and California.  The 
estimated potentiometric surface was derived using a gridding algorithm and interactive editing to produce 
contours representative of the natural water-table conditions. Input data included the altitudes of lakes, springs, 
and wetlands; water-level data from wells; and hydrogeologic information pertaining to areas of recharge, 
discharge, and low- permeability rocks

Text files of the Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) and Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) navigation logged with HYPACK software by the U.S. Geological Survey during Cruise 08016 within the St. Clair River between Michigan and Ontario, Canada, 2008

In 2008, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center (WHCMSC), in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers conducted a geophysical and sampling survey of the riverbed of the Upper St. Clair River between Port Huron, MI, and Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. The objectives were to define the Quaternary geologic framework of the St. Clair River to evaluate the relationship between morphologic change of the riverbed and underlying stratigraphy. This report presents the geophysical and sample data collected from the St. Clair River, May 29-June 6, 2008 as part of the International Upper Great Lakes Study, a 5-year project funded by the International Joint Commission of the United States and Canada to examine whether physical changes in the St. Clair River are affecting water levels within the upper Great Lakes, to assess regulation plans for outflows from Lake Superior, and to examine the potential effect of climate change on the Great Lakes water levels ( http://www.iugls.org). This document makes available the data that were used in a separate report, U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2009-1137, which detailed the interpretations of the Quaternary geologic framework of the region. This report includes a description of the suite of high-resolution acoustic and sediment-sampling systems that were used to map the morphology, surficial sediment distribution, and underlying geology of the Upper St. Clair River during USGS field activity 2008-016-FA . Video and photographs of the riverbed were also collected and are included in this data release. Future analyses will be focused on substrate erosion and its effects on river-channel morphology and geometry. Ultimately, the International Upper Great Lakes Study will attempt to determine where physical changes in the St. Clair River affect water flow and, subsequently, water levels in the Upper Great Lakes.

LANDFIRE Remap Forest Canopy Cover (CC) Micronesia

LANDFIRE's (LF) Remap Forest Canopy Cover (CC) describes the percent cover of the tree canopy in a stand, CC is a vertical projection of the tree canopy cover onto an imaginary horizontal plane. In disturbed locations CC is calculated from linear regression equations derived from Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS) plot data output, but at non-disturbed locations it is assigned the midpoint of Fuel Vegetation Cover (FVC) forested classes. In some instances, LF Remap assumes the potential burnable biomass in the tree canopy has been accounted for in the surface fuel model. For example, young or short conifer stands where the trees are represented by a shrub type fuel model will not have canopy characteristics.
LF Remap Annual Disturbance products are incorporated into CC to provide informed changes by disturbance type, severity, and time since disturbance (TSD). Annual Disturbance products provide a pre-disturbance scenario represented by LF Remap existing vegetation products. Reporting of the pre-disturbance scenario helps to calculate CC, by providing information about vegetation impacted by a disturbance. Then, vegetation adjustments are modeled in disturbance areas based on disturbance type and severity. CC is then used in the calculation of Canopy Bulk Density (CBD) and Canopy Base Height (CBH). CC supplies information to fire behavior models in order to; determine the probability of crown fire initiation, provide input in the spotting model, calculate wind reductions, and to calculate fuel moisture conditioning. 
CC also has capable fuels functionality. Capable fuels calculate TSD assignments for disturbed areas using an "effective year." For example, year 2020 fuels may be calculated for the year 2020. the new process considers all the existing disturbances included in LF Remap and adjusts the TSD for these to the effective year (2020 in the example), making the products "2020 capable fuels." More information about capable fuels can be found at https://www.landfire.gov/lf_remap.php.
