BITH2014_BigSandyCreekUnit_EAARLB_FS_z15_n88g12A_mosaic_metadata: EAARL-B Topography-Big Thicket National Preserve: Big Sandy Creek Unit, Texas, 2014

A first-surface topography digital elevation model (DEM) mosaic for the Big Sandy Creek Unit of Big Thicket National Preserve in Texas, was produced from remotely sensed, geographically referenced elevation measurements collected on January 19, 21, 22, and 30, 2014 by the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the National Park Service - Gulf Coast Network. Elevation measurements were collected over the area using the second-generation Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar, a pulsed laser ranging system mounted onboard an aircraft to measure ground elevation, vegetation canopy, and coastal topography. The system uses high-frequency laser beams directed at the Earth's surface through an opening in the bottom of the aircraft's fuselage. The laser system records the time difference between emission of the laser beam and the reception of the reflected laser signal in the aircraft. The plane travels over the target area at approximately 55 meters per second at an elevation of approximately 300 meters, resulting in a laser swath of approximately 240 meters with an average point spacing of 0.5-1.6 meters. A peak sampling rate of 15-30 kilohertz results in an extremely dense spatial elevation dataset. More than 100 kilometers of coastline can be surveyed easily within a 3- to 4-hour mission. When resultant elevation maps for an area are analyzed, they provide a useful tool to make management decisions regarding land development.

Elevation Raster, Cannonsville Reservoir, 2015

From 2013 to 2015, bathymetric surveys of New York City’s six West of Hudson reservoirs (Ashokan, Cannonsville, Neversink, Pepacton, Rondout, and Schoharie) were performed to provide updated capacity tables and bathymetric maps.  Depths were surveyed with a single-beam echo sounder and real-time kinematic global positioning system (RTK-GPS) along planned transects at predetermined intervals for each reservoir.  A separate set of echo sounder data was collected along transects at oblique angles to the main transects for accuracy assessment.  Field survey data was combined with water-surface elevations in a geographic information system to create three-dimensional surfaces representing reservoir-bed elevations in the form of triangulated irregular networks (TINs); the TINs were linearly enforced to better represent geomorphic features within the reservoirs.  The linearly enforced TINs were used to create bathymetric maps of the reservoirs; contours were mapped at 2-foot intervals and capacity was calculated at 0.01-foot intervals. This dataset contains the raster surface.

Longitudinal water velocity observation points collected using ADCP during Old Erie Canal survey

The Old Erie Canal has undergone sedimentation and aquatic growth that have restricted flow and diminished the aesthetic quality of the canal during the nearly 200 years since its construction. During 2018–2019, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Madison County Planning Department and the New York State Canal Corporation conducted a study of the Old Erie Canal between the Town of DeWitt, New York, and its junction with the current Erie Canal of the New York State Canal System near Rome, N.Y. The study comprised bathymetric, velocity, and water-quality surveys and documentation of the canal infrastructure. The USGS established benchmarks and staff gages along the 30.8 miles of the canal study area to reference the water-surface level in the canal to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). Water-quality data (dissolved oxygen, water temperature, specific conductance, pH, and turbidity) were collected concurrently with the bathymetric survey (spring 2018) to characterize changes in water quality along the length of the canal. The canal infrastructure was documented to provide a baseline assessment.
This dataset contains a shapefile representing water velocity observations made by an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) during the 2018 survey, and includes measurements of water speed and direction along longitudinal transects of Old Erie Canal.

Northeastern Illinois (NEIL) Six County Airborne Lidar Validation Survey Data

Airborne light detection and ranging (lidar) can provide high-quality topographic information over large areas.  Lidar is an active remote sensing technology that employs laser ranging in near-infrared and green spectral wavelengths to provide three-dimensional (3D) point information for objects, including Earth’s surface, vegetation, and infrastructure.  The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Geospatial Program (NGP) 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) seeks to systematically acquire airborne topographic lidar for the conterminous U.S. (conus), Hawaii, and the U.S. territories.  A series of field accuracy assessment surveys, using conventional surveying methods (i.e. total station and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)) along with ground based lidar (GBL), were conducted at test sites in Northeastern Illinois (NEIL) to evaluate the 3D absolute and relative accuracy of airborne lidar acquired for 3DEP.

Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2021 Site 0178 land-water classification data

Wetland restoration efforts conducted by the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in Louisiana rely on monitoring efforts to determine the efficacy of these efforts. The Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) was developed to assist in a multiple-reference approach that uses aspects of hydrogeomorphic functional assessments and probabilistic sampling for monitoring. The CRMS program includes a suite of approximately 398 sites that encompass the range of hydrological and ecological conditions for each stratum. As part of CRMS, land and water classifications are created from Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quadrangles (DOQQs) approximately every three years at all CRMS sites. A DOQQ is a raster image in which displacement in the image caused by sensor orientation and terrain relief has been removed and combines the image characteristics of a photo with geometric qualities of a map. The DOQQs generated for this project consist of 2021 Color Infrared (CIR) Digital Imagery. These images were classified into land and water categories using a threshold of the near infrared (NIR) band, followed by supervised and unsupervised classification.  Initial classification results are then reviewed by multiple image analysts to identify and manually recode errors. The final land-water classifications are intended to serve as both geographic and quantitative assessments of landscape composition on the date of acquisition. Five previous assessments have been conducted (2005, 2008, 2012, 2015/2016, and 2018). Once the program creates enough data points for statistical analyses, these data will be used for land area change rate calculation.

Mass adjustment ratios used for Great Basin mosses Bryum argenteum and Syntrichia ruralis, 2017-2018

The dataset supports a larger study that examined the impacts of three tackifiers (guar, psyllium, and polyacrylamide) on growth of two dryland mosses (Bryum argenteum and Syntrichia ruralis). Moss fragments were grown in petri dishes and subjected to individual tackifiers in one of three possible concentrations (0.5x, 1x, or 2x) of the respective manufacturer's recommended application rate. Distilled water was used as a control treatment, giving a total of ten treatments (nine tackifier-concentration combinations and a water control). Bryum fragments were watered four times daily for six weeks and Syntrichia fragments were watered twice daily for five weeks, after which the experiments were concluded. Shoot length, shoot number, gemma presence, protonema presence, bound sand mass, and moss organic matter mass were all measured at the end of the experiments. This dataset reports mass adjustment ratios (average non-moss organic matter mass in milligrams per 1 milligram of bound sand mass) that were used to subtract non-moss organic matter mass from  total organic matter mass measurements, ultimately calculating moss organic matter mass per fragment at the end of the experiment. Total organic matter mass was determined by placing fragments and attached substrate in a furnace and burning off organic matter. The post-furnace weight was subtracted from the pre-furnace weight to calculate total organic matter mass, with the remaining weight representing the bound sand mass. A separate experiment was performed without moss fragments, but with tackifier and sand, and subjected to the same furnace process to determine the proportion of total organic matter mass made up of sand organic matter and tackifier. Bryum and Syntrichia were grown on different sand types, which were composed of different amounts of organic matter and resulted in different adjustment ratios for Bryum and Syntrichia experiments.

MOSAIC4 - Composite sidescan-sonar mosaic collected by the U.S. Geological Survey offshore of the Chandeleur Islands, LA, 2006 (UTM Zone 16N GeoTIFF)

In 2006 and 2007, the U.S. Geological Survey, in partnership with Louisiana Department of Natural Resources and the University of New Orleans, conducted geologic mapping to characterize the sea floor and shallow subsurface stratigraphy offshore of the Chandeleur Islands in Eastern Louisiana. The mapping was carried out during two cruises on the R/V Acadiana. Data were acquired with the following equipment: an SEA Ltd SwathPlus interferometric sonar (234 kHz), Klein 3000 dual frequency sidescan sonar, and an Edgetech 512i chirp subbottom profiling system. The long-term goal of this mapping effort is to produce high-quality geologic maps and geophysical interpretations that can be utilized to investigate the impact of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and to identify sand resources within the region.
