DS926 Digital surfaces and thicknesses of selected hydrogeologic units of the Floridan aquifer system in Florida and parts of Georgia, Alabama, and South Carolina - Alluvium_major_streams_buffer

Digital surfaces and thicknesses of selected hydrogeologic units of the Floridan aquifer 
system were developed to define an updated hydrogeologic framework as part of the U.S. 
Geological Survey Groundwater Resources Program. This feature class contains alluvial 
areas of major streams and a buffered area around medium sized streams that may also 
have alluvial materials. Geologic maps and buffered streams were used in the construction 
of this layer.

MODFLOW-NWT model used in simulation of groundwater availability in the Salt Fork Red River aquifer, southwestern Oklahoma, 1980-2015

The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, 
constructed a finite-difference numerical groundwater-flow model of the Salt Fork Red 
River aquifer using MODFLOW with the Newton formulation solver (MODFLOW-NWT). 
The 1973 Oklahoma Water Law requires the Oklahoma Water Resources Board to conduct 
hydrologic investigations of the State’s aquifers to support a determination of the maximum 
annual yield (MAY) for each groundwater basin. The MAY is defined as the amount of fresh 
groundwater that can be withdrawn annually while ensuring a minimum 20-year life of the 
groundwater basin. For alluvium and terrace aquifers, the groundwater-basin-life requirement 
is satisfied if, after 20 years of MAY withdrawals, 50 percent of the groundwater basin retains 
a saturated thickness of at least 5 ft. When a MAY has been established, the amount of land 
owned or leased by a permit applicant determines the annual volume of water allocated to 
that permit applicant. The annual volume of water allocated per acre of land is known as the 
equal-proportionate-share (EPS) pumping rate. Because the MAY and EPS have not yet been 
established for the Salt Fork Red River aquifer, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation 
with the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, conducted a hydrologic investigation and 
developed a calibrated numerical groundwater-flow model to evaluate the effects of potential 
groundwater withdrawals on groundwater availability in the Salt Fork Red River aquifer. The 
results of groundwater-availability scenarios run on the calibrated numerical groundwater-flow 
model could be used by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board to evaluate the maximum 
annual yield of groundwater from the Salt Fork Red River aquifer in Oklahoma. The numerical 
model was temporally discretized into 1 initial steady-state stress period representing average 
conditions during 1980-2015 and 432 monthly transient stress periods representing the period 
1980-2015. This U.S. Geological Survey data release contains all of the input and output files 
for the simulations described in the associated model documentation report 
(https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20215003).

Navigation and Bathymetry Points of Ship Position During Continuous Resistivity Profile Data Collection in the Corsica River Estuary, Maryland on May 17, 2007 on USGS Cruise 07005 f(RESGPSPNTS_JD137.SHP)

Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) into Maryland's Corsica River Estuary was investigated as part of a larger study to determine the importance of nutrient delivery to Chesapeake Bay via this pathway. Resource managers are concerned about nutrients that are entering the estuary via submarine groundwater discharge from this primarily agricultural watershed that may be contributing to eutrophication, harmful algal blooms, and fish kills. An interdisciplinary U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) science team conducted field operations in the estuary in April and May 2007. Techniques used included continuous resistivity profiling (CRP), piezometer sampling, seepage meter measurements, and collection of a radon tracer time series. Better understanding of the style, locations, and rates of groundwater discharge could lead to improved models and mitigation strategies for estuarine nutrient over-enrichment in the Corsica River Estuary, and other similar settings.

Location of Sea Floor Photographs Acquired During U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Cruise 2011-006-FA in Rhode Island Sound (2011-006_995BOTPHOTOS, Geographic)

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), is producing detailed geologic maps of the coastal sea floor. Bathymetry, originally collected by NOAA for charting purposes, provides a fundamental framework for research and management activities along this part of Rhode Island Sound, shows the composition and terrain of the seabed, and provides information on sediment transport and benthic habitat. Interpretations were derived from the multibeam echo-sounder data collected in Rhode Island Sound. During June 2011, bottom photographs and surficial sediment data were acquired as part of a ground-truth reconnaissance survey of these areas.

HW3_Q67.TIF - Hawaii III - Northwestern Hawaii U.S. EEZ GLORIA sidescan-sonar data mosaic (15 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.

Text files of the navigation logged with HYPACK Software during surveys 06012 and 07001 conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey offshore of Massachusetts between Duxbury and Hull (DH_HYPACK_NAV)

These data were collected under a cooperative agreement with the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (CZM) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Coastal and Marine Geology Program, Woods Hole Science Center (WHSC). Initiated in 2003, the primary objective of this program is to develop regional geologic framework information for the management of coastal and marine resources. 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. The project is focused on the inshore waters (5-30 m deep) of Massachusetts between the New Hampshire border and Cape Cod Bay. Data collected for the mapping cooperative have been released in a series of USGS Open-File Reports (https://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/project-pages/coastal_mass/). This spatial dataset is from the study area located between Duxbury and Hull Massachusetts, and consists of high-resolution geophysics (bathymetry, backscatter intensity, and seismic reflection) and ground validation (sediment samples, video tracklines and bottom photographs). The data were collected during four separate surveys conducted between 2003 and 2007 (NOAA survey H10993 in 2003, USGS-WHSC survey 06012 in 2006, and USGS-WHSC surveys 07001 and 07003 in 2007) and cover more than 200 square kilometers of the inner continental shelf.

LANDFIRE 2016 Remap Existing Vegetation Cover (EVC) Micronesia

LANDFIRE's (LF) 2016 Remap (Remap) Existing Vegetation Cover (EVC) represents the vertically projected percent cover of the live canopy for a 30m cell. EVC is produced separately for tree, shrub, and herbaceous lifeforms. Training data depicting percentages of canopy cover are obtained from plot-level ground-based visual assessments and lidar observations. These are combined with Landsat imagery (from multiple seasons), topographic, climate, and other geospatial data sets to inform models built independently for each lifeform. Tree, shrub, and herbaceous lifeforms each have a potential range from 10% to 100%. The three independent lifeform datasets are merged into a single product. The EVC product is then reconciled through QA/QC measures to ensure lifeform is synchronized with both Existing Vegetation Height (EVH) and Type (EVT) products. Disturbance events not visible in the source imagery are accounted for by incorporating LF Remap Annual Disturbance products. LF uses EVC as an input for LF Remap Fuel Vegetation Cover (FVC).

EAARL Topography--George Washington Birthplace National Monument 2008

A first surface/bare earth elevation map (also known as a Digital Elevation Model, or DEM) of the George Washington Birthplace National Monument in Virginia was produced from remotely sensed, geographically referenced elevation measurements cooperatively by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the National Park Service (NPS), and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Elevation measurements were collected over the area using the NASA Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar (EAARL), 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 50 meters per second at an elevation of approximately 300 meters. The EAARL, developed by NASA at Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, measures ground elevation with a vertical resolution of 15 centimeters. A sampling rate of 3 kilohertz or higher results in an extremely dense spatial elevation dataset. Over 100 kilometers of coastline can be easily surveyed within a 3- to 4-hour mission. When subsequent elevation maps for an area are analyzed, they provide resource managers with a useful tool regarding land development.
