Digital Shoreline Analysis System version 4.3 shoreline intersection points used to calculate short-term (Linear Regression Rate) shoreline change statistics for the Outer Cape Cod coastal region from Long Point in Provincetown to Monomoy Island (OuterCapeCod_intersects_STlr.shp)

Due to continued coastal population growth and increased threats of erosion, current data on trends and rates of shoreline movement are required to inform shoreline and floodplain management. The Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management launched the Shoreline Change Project in 1989 to identify erosion-prone areas of the coast. In 2001, a 1994 shoreline was added to calculate both long- and short-term shoreline change rates at 40-meter intervals along ocean-facing sections of the Massachusetts coast.
The Coastal and Marine Geology Program of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management, has compiled reliable historical shoreline data along open-facing sections of the Massachusetts coast under the Massachusetts Shoreline Change Mapping and Analysis Project 2013 Update. Two oceanfront shorelines for Massachusetts (approximately 1,800 km in total length) were (1) delineated using 2008/09 color aerial orthoimagery, and (2) extracted from topographic LIDAR datasets (2007) obtained from NOAA's Ocean Service, Coastal Services Center. The new shorelines were integrated with existing Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management and USGS historical shoreline data in order to compute long- and short-term rates using the latest version of the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS).

Geospatial mapping products derived from 2018, 2020, and 2022 NAIP aerial imagery for the Scotts Creek Watershed, Lake County, CA

The USGS, in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM), created a series of geospatial mapping products of the Scotts Creek Watershed in Lake County, California, using National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) imagery from 2018, 2020 and 2022 and Open Street Map (OSM) from 2019. The imagery was downloaded from United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)  - Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Geospatial Data Gateway (https://datagateway.nrcs.usda.gov/) and Geofabrik GmbH - Open Street Map (https://www.geofabrik.de/geofabrik/openstreetmap.html), respectively.
The imagery was classified using Random Forest (RF) Modeling to produce land cover maps with three main classifications - bare, vegetation, and shadows. 
An updated roads and trails map for the Upper Scotts Creek Watershed, including the BLM Recreational Area, was created to estimate road and trail densities in the watershed. 
Separate metadata records for each product (Land_Cover_Maps_Scotts_Creek_Watershed_CA_2018_2020_2022_metadata.xml, and Roads_and_Trails_Map_Upper_Scotts_Creek_Watershed_CA _2022_metadata.xml) are provided on the ScienceBase page for each child item. Users should be aware of the inherent errors in remote sensing products.

InterpretSELDM version 1.0 The Stochastic Empirical Loading and Dilution Model (SELDM) output interpreter

The InterpretSELDM program is a graphical post processor designed to facilitate analysis and presentation of stormwater modeling results from the Stochastic Empirical Loading and Dilution Model (SELDM), which is a stormwater model developed by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration. SELDM simulates flows, concentrations, and loads in stormflows from upstream basins, the highway, best management practice outfalls, and in the receiving water downstream of a highway. SELDM is designed to transform complex scientific data into meaningful information about (1) the risk of adverse effects from stormwater runoff on receiving waters, (2) the potential need for mitigation measures, and (3) the potential effectiveness of management measures for reducing those risks. SELDM produces results in (relatively) easy-to-use tab delimited output files that are designed for use with spreadsheets and graphing packages. However, time is needed to learn, understand, and use the SELDM output formats. Also, the SELDM output requires post-processing to extract the specific information that commonly is of interest to the user (for example, the percentage of storms above a user-specified value). Because SELDM output files are comprehensive, the locations of specific output values may not be obvious to the novice user or the occasional model user who does not consult the detailed model documentation. The InterpretSELDM program was developed as a postprocessor to facilitate analysis and presentation of SELDM results. The program provides graphical results and tab-delimited text summaries from simulation results. InterpretSELDM provides data summaries in seconds. In comparison, manually extracting the same information from SELDM outputs could take minutes to hours. It has an easy-to-use graphical user interface designed to quickly extract dilution factors, constituent concentrations, annual loads, and annual yields from all analyses within a SELDM project. The program provides the methods necessary to create scatterplots and boxplots for the extracted results. Graphs are more effective than tabular data for evaluating and communicating risk-based information to technical and nontechnical audiences. Commonly used spreadsheets provide methods for generating graphs, but do not provide probability-plots or boxplots, which are useful for examining extreme stormflow, concentration, and load values. Probability plot axes are necessary for evaluating stormflow information because the extreme values commonly are the values of concern. Boxplots provide a simple visual summary of results that can be used to compare different simulation results. The graphs created by using the InterpretSELDM program can be copied and pasted into word processors, spreadsheets, drawing software, and other programs. The graphs also can be saved in commonly used image-file formats.

Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2005, 2008, 2012, 2015, 2018, and 2021 Site 1965 land-water matrix

Wetland restoration efforts conducted by the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in Louisiana rely on monitoring to determine the efficacy of these projects. 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 390 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. This dataset consists of a matrix of six land-water products (2005, 2008, 2012, 2015, 2018, and 2021).  The resulting matrix has 64 possible classes defined by the combination of land and water categories on those six dates.

Area of interest and study area for Arundo donax (Arundo Cane) Image Classification along the Rio Grande in Webb County, Texas, 2020–2021

This data release contains geospatial vector (polygon) data created using data obtained during 2020–21 in support of Arundo donax (Arundo Cane) image classification along the Rio Grande in Webb County, Texas. These polygon data represent the area of interest (AOI) and the analysis study area (buffer zone that extends one mile east of the Rio Grande center line) on the U.S. side of the Mexico/United States border.
Arundo donax (Arundo cane, giant reed, or Carrizo cane), is an invasive bamboo-like perennial grass most common to riparian areas throughout the southwestern United States. Because it displaces native riparian vegetation, Arundo cane has greatly disrupted the health of riparian ecosystems in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico during the past 50 years. Arundo cane also has created border security problems along the Rio Grande as it grows in tall, thick stands that reduce visibility. In 2015-2016, the Texas State Legislature directed the Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board (TSSWCB) to “develop and implement a program to eradicate Carrizo cane along the Rio Grande” (Texas Senate Bill 1734). One of the ecosystem-based approaches implemented by TSSWCB was the use of imazapyr and glyphosate herbicides. To better understand the effects of the herbicide treatment on the targeted vegetation, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with TSSWCB, acquired high-resolution WorldView-3 Standard Imagery on 3 days to assess Arundo cane extent along the reach before, during, and after the herbicide treatment period (June 30, 2020, September 26, 2020, and May 07, 2021, respectively). Following a similar methodology described by Yang and others (2009), the assessment was completed by computing a maximum likelihood supervised classification on WorldView-3 imagery to estimate the areas covered by Arundo cane, water, and mixed cover on a one-mile buffer, east of the Rio Grande on the Texas side of the Mexico/United States border. Water-quality data associated with the herbicide treatment were collected from a segment of the Rio Grande in conjunction with the acquisition of the imagery data. The water-quality data are available in a separate USGS data release (Crow, 2021).
