Digital elevation model (DEM) of south San Francisco Bay, California, created using bathymetry data collected between 2005 and 2020 (NAVD88)

A 1-m resolution, continuous surface, bathymetric digital elevation model (DEM) of the southern portion of San Francisco Bay, was constructed from bathymetric surveys collected from 2005 to 2020. In 2014 and 2015 the California Ocean Protection Council (OPC) contracted the collection of bathymetric surveys of large portions of San Francisco Bay. A total of 93 surveys were collected using a combination of multibeam and interferometric side-scan sonar systems. Of those 93 surveys, 75 consist of swaths of data ranging from 18- to just over 100-meters wide. These swaths were separated by data gaps ranging from 10- to just over 300-meters wide. The no-data areas required interpolation to create a continuous surface. The OPC surveys were combined with additional data sets collected by the United States Geological Survey (USGS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), NOAA National Ocean Service (NOS), and the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to create a continuous, high-resolution digital elevation model (DEM).
The creation of this DEM refines techniques developed by the USGS to create DEMs from historic bathymetric data, and allow for the creation of a modern-day bathymetric surface that can be compared to earlier surveys to delineate regions of sediment erosion and deposition.

Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2021 Site 0535 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.

HW3_Q55.TIF - Hawaii III - Northwestern Hawaii U.S. EEZ GLORIA sidescan-sonar data mosaic (3 of 22) (LCC, 50 m, WGS84)

In 1984, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Office of Marine Geology, launched a program using the Geological LOng-Range Inclined Asdic (GLORIA) sidescan-sonar system to study the entire U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). From 1989 through 1991, the USGS and IOS (Institute of Oceanographic Sciences, U.K.) scientists conducted several surveys within the EEZ off Hawaii. Six surveys during that time period focused on the northwestern Hawaii region. The results of these surveys were 22 digital mosaics of approximately of approximately a 2 degree by 2 degree area with a 50-meter pixel resolution.

Floodplain Inundation Model and Inundation Depths: Upper Mississippi and Illinois Rivers

Floodplain inundation is believed to be the dominant physical driver of an array of ecosystem patterns and processes in the Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS), which comprises the Upper Mississippi and Illinois Rivers. Here, we present a series of related data products supporting floodplain inundation modeling of the UMRS. First, raster files comprise a unique identifier, river mile positioning, and relative elevation for each pixel. Second, csv files comprise time series data of simulated water surface depth for every pixel in the modeling domain. The time series data are for the months of April through September of years since 1940. These months were chosen because it approximates the period during which most biophysical processes such as vegetation metabolism and biogeochemical cycling are likely to be strongest across the longitudinal gradient of the UMRS. We excluded areas permanently wetted (aquatic areas), surfaces in agricultural production, roads, and developed areas. The start and end years of analysis are variable depending on location and are noted in the metadata of individual files. It is possible to map patterns of surface water inundation by joining the csvs of inundation depth to the rasters based on the unique pixel identifier. All data were derived from a geospatial model of surface water inundation developed for the UMRS and described in Van Appledorn et al. (2021; doi: 10.1002/rra.3628). The data also relate to the UMRS Floodplain Inundation Rasters (Van Appledorn et al., 2018; doi: https://doi.org/10.5066/F7VD6XRT). For example, the inundation depths here were analyzed over the time period of 1972 - 2011 to generate the UMRS Floodplain Inundation Rasters (Van Appledorn et al., 2018). The data are intended for use in geospatial analyses of UMRS floodplain ecosystem patterns and processes. Examples of suitable uses include stratifying regional sampling efforts or monitoring programs, providing context for interpreting fine-scale studies of local inundation patterns, or development of floodplain functional classes.

Data points collected during the bathymetric survey of Lago Caonillas, Utuado, Puerto Rico, September-November 2012

This dataset contains the data points collected during the bathymetric survey of Lago Caonillas between September and November 2012 by U.S. Geological Survey. The 2012 bathymetric survey was conducted using a bathymetric/land survey system, consisting of a global positioning system (GPS) coupled to a digital depth sounder. A total of 155 survey navigation lines were established at 50 meter (m) intervals, beginning at the dam and continuing upstream along the river branches of the reservoir. Geographic position (accuracy of less than 2 m) and water depths (accuracy of 2 centimeters [cm] ±1 percent of the measured depth) were acquired simultaneously using the GPS interfaced to the depth sounder. The fathometer was calibrated prior to each day of survey by using a bar check.  Data points collected on September 2012 for Lago Caonillas were adjusted to represent depth relative to the spillway elevation (251.76 meters above mean sea level). However, data collected during November 2012 was not adjusted since the water elevation at the reservoir was at the crest of the spillway structure. The reservoir pool elevation was monitored at the continuous recording USGS lake-level monitoring station 50026140 Lago Caonillas at damsite near Utuado, Puerto Rico. Lago Caonillas is owned and operated by the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) since 1996. Because of the importance of Lago Caonillas to the North Coast Superaqueduct, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with PRASA, conducted a sedimentation survey of Lago Caonillas between September and November 2012 to update estimates of the reservoir’s storage capacity.

The Vigil Network: North Tillatoba Creek, Mississippi

Long-term monitoring data of geomorphic, hydrological, and biological characteristics of landscapes. This information provides an effective means of relating observed change to possible causes of the change. Identification of changes in basin characteristics, especially in arid areas where the response to altered climate or land use is generally rapid and readily apparent, might provide the initial direct indications that factors such as global warming and cultural impacts have affected the environment. The Vigil Network provides an opportunity for earth and life scientists to participate in a systematic monitoring effort to detect landscape changes over time, and to relate such changes to possible causes. This data release includes 70 sites and basins used to monitor landscape features. This data release includes information for Vigil Network sites monitored in the United States. The data and information in this data release are historical and were obtained from original documents.

Digital Terrain Model (DTM) for basin A2

Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) flights were conducted over four stream catchments in Rio Blanco County, Colorado, during the summer of 2016. Two sties had active oil and gas operations within the basin whereas the other two sites did not.  Structure from motion (SfM) was used to align raw images and create a dense point cloud, georectified orthoimage, and Digital Elevation Model (DEM) for each basin.  A Digital Terrain Model (DTM), or bare earth model, for each basin was created by reclassifying the dense point cloud as either bare ground or other (vegetation, oil and gas infrastructure, etc.) and interpolating the land surface between bare ground points.  Ideally, the DTM would always be equal or lower than the DEM; however, the interpolated surface can sometimes be higher than the DEM if bare ground points surround depressions with vegetation or in thick vegetation strands with an undulating surface. Therefore, a final surface model, created by merging the DTM with the DEM for all areas where the DTM was greater than the DEM, was produced for each basin. Lastly, a random forest classification approach was used to classify the orthoimagery on a pixel level into five vegetation/land cover classifications - bare ground, grass, litter, shrub/woody vegetation, and shadow.

Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity Thematic Burn Severity Mosaic for CONUS in 1984

The Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity (MTBS) Program assesses the frequency, extent, and magnitude (size and severity) of all large wildland fires (wildfires and prescribed fires) in the conterminous United States (CONUS), Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico for the period 1984 and beyond. All fires reported as greater than 1,000 acres in the western U.S. and greater than 500 acres in the eastern U.S. are mapped across all ownerships. MTBS produces a series of geospatial and tabular data for analysis at a range of spatial, temporal, and thematic scales and are intended to meet a variety of information needs that require consistent data about fire effects through space and time. This map layer is a thematic raster image of MTBS burn severity classes for all inventoried fires occurring in CONUS during calendar year 1984. Fires omitted from this mapped inventory are those where suitable satellite imagery was not available, or fires were not discernable from available imagery.

Geospatial Dataset for the Geologic Framework and Hydrostratigraphy of the Edwards and Trinity Aquifers within Northern Bexar and Comal Counties, Texas, at 1:24,000 scale

The Edwards and Trinity aquifers are major sources of water for agriculture, industry, and urban and rural communities in south-central Texas. Both the Edwards and Trinity aquifers are classified as major aquifers by the State of Texas. The dissolution of the carbonate rocks composing the Edwards and Trinity aquifers results in distinctive landforms rich in both springs and karst features (caves, sinkholes, and other visible areas of solution-enlarged porosity). Previous studies such as those by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the Texas Bureau of Economic Geology (BEG) have mapped the geology, hydrostratigraphy, and structure in these areas at various scales. The purpose of this data release is to present the data that were collected and compiled to describe the geologic framework and hydrostratigraphy of northern Bexar and Comal Counties, Texas in order to help water managers, water purveyors, and local residents better understand and manage water resources. The scope of the larger work and this accompanying data release is focused on the geologic framework and hydrostratigraphy of the outcrops and hydrostratigraphy of the Edwards and Trinity aquifers within northern Bexar and Comal Counties, Texas. In addition, parts of the adjacent upper confining unit to the Edwards aquifer are included. These digital data accompany Clark and others (2023), which supersedes Scientific Investigations Map 3366.
