Assessing the Effectiveness of Nourishment in Decadal Barrier Island Morphological Resilience: Model Inputs and Outputs (Initial_Elevations_N.txt)

Using version 5527 of the XBeach numerical model (Roelvink and others, 2009), barrier island morphological change was simulated at Dauphin Island, Alabama (AL), for a 30-year forecast of multiple storms and sea level rise, considering scenarios of no-action and beach and dune nourishment as described in Passeri and others (2021). The two-dimensional XBeach model can be applied to barrier islands to solve for time-dependent topography and bathymetry. The XBeach model setup requires the input of topographic and bathymetric elevations at each grid cell. Model inputs and outputs in the form of topography and bathymetry at each grid cell are provided in this data release. For further information regarding model input generation and visualization of model output, refer to Passeri and others (2021).

Tracklines of sidescan sonar data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey offshore of the Chandeleur Islands, LA, 2006 (sidescan_trk_06015.shp, polylines)

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.

MODFLOW-NWT and MODPATH groundwater flow models of steady-state conditions in coastal Connecticut and adjacent areas of New York and Rhode Island, as well as a nitrogen transport model of the Niantic River watershed

A steady-state groundwater flow model, using MODFLOW-NWT, was developed to better understand groundwater 
flow in coastal Connecticut and adjacent areas of New York and Rhode Island.  Aquatic systems in and around 
Long Island Sound (LIS) provide a variety of ecological and economic benefits such as flood and storm protection, 
water filtration, recreation, habitat for commercially and recreationally important fish and bird populations, and 
carbon sequestration. In some areas of LIS and in many embayments along the Connecticut coastline, aquatic 
ecosystems are degraded due to excess nitrogen from sources such as waste-water treatment plants, septic 
systems, and fertilizer. A substantial fraction of total nitrogen inputs to LIS are transported through the ground-
water-flow system. Currently, the groundwater-flow system on the north shore of LIS is not well understood. 
Groundwater budgets, travel times, and discharge receptors have not been quantified, hindering water-resources 
management efforts focused on groundwater transported nitrogen.  The groundwater model was used as a framework 
for understanding the groundwater component of flow to surface water in the HUC12 watersheds within the study 
area and to a subset of coastal embayments of LIS.  The model was calibrated to groundwater levels and baseflow 
discharge from water years 1990 through 2019, long-term average stream altitudes, and a dry stream/flooded land 
metric. The model was used to calculate the components of the groundwater budget and to estimate groundwater 
travel times, using MODPATH particle-tracking, within HUC12 basins and embayment watersheds, as well as to 
estimate groundwater nitrogen loading and transport times within the Niantic River watershed. This dataset contains 
model inputs and outputs, post-processing python scripts, and PEST calibration input files for the simulations 
described in the associated model documentation report (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20215116).

Shot-Point Navigation Data Collected Along Seismic-Profile Lines During U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Cruise R/V RAFAEL 07034 in the Vicinity of Woods Hole, Offshore Massachusetts (RAFA07034SPNAV.SHP)

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (MA CZM), is producing detailed geologic maps of the coastal sea floor. Imagery, originally collected by NOAA for charting purposes, provides a fundamental framework for research and management activities along this part of the Massachusetts coastline, shows the composition and terrain of the seabed, and provides information on sediment transport and benthic habitat. Interpretive data layers were derived from multibeam echo-sounder and sidescan-sonar data collected in the vicinity of Woods Hole, a passage through the Elizabeth Islands, off Cape Cod, Massachusetts.  In November 2007, bottom photographs, high-resolution seismic-reflection data, and Surficial sediment data were acquired as part of a ground-truth reconnaissance survey.

LANDFIRE Remap Anderson Fire Behavior Fuel Model (FBFM13) Puerto Rico US Virgin Islands

LANDFIRE’s (LF) 2016 Remap Anderson Fire Behavior Fuel Model 13 (FBFM13) product represents distinct distributions of fuel loadings found among surface fuel components (live and dead), size classes, and fuel types (Anderson 1982). The fuel models are described by the most common fire carrying fuel type (grass, brush, timber, or slash), loading and surface area-to-volume ratio by size class and component, fuel bed depth, and moisture of extinction. FBFM13 can be used for fire spread related characteristic models. 
LF Remap used vegetation products and 10-years of disturbance data to create Fuel Vegetation Type (FVT), Fuel Vegetation Cover (FVC), and Fuel Vegetation Height (FVH) for disturbed areas to represent pre-disturbance scenarios in FBFM13. A combination of pre-disturbance and non-disturbance Existing Vegetation Type (EVT) are used to assign surface fuel models. FBFM13 was developed using the most recent 10 years of Annual Disturbance products and is a capable fuels product that calculates Time Since Disturbance (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.

Hydrodynamic and Sediment Transport Model Application for OSAT3 Guidance:  Ratio of the wave- and current-induced shear stress to the critical value for oil-tar balls and sediment mobilization weighted by probability of wave scenario occurrence

The U.S. Geological Survey has developed a method for estimating the mobility and potential alongshore transport of heavier-than-water sand and oil agglomerates (tarballs or surface residual balls, SRBs).  During the Deepwater Horizon spill, some oil that reached the surf zone of the northern Gulf of Mexico mixed with suspended sediment and sank to form sub-tidal mats. If not removed, these mats can break apart to form SRBs and subsequently re-oil the beach.  A method was developed for estimating SRB mobilization and alongshore movement.  A representative suite of wave conditions was identified from buoy data for April, 2010, until August, 2012, and used to drive a numerical model of the spatially-variant alongshore currents.  Potential mobilization of SRBs was estimated by comparing combined wave- and current-induced shear stress from the model to critical stress values for several sized SRBs. Potential alongshore flux of SRBs was also estimated to identify regions more or less likely to have SRBs deposited under each scenario.  This methodology was developed to explain SRB movement and redistribution in the alongshore, interpret observed re-oiling events, and thus inform re-oiling mitigation efforts.

Core summary descriptions created in LogPlot 7 for 20 cores from offshore Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in 2008 (2008CoreSummaryDescriptions, JPEG image format)

In 2008, as a collaborative effort between Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the U.S. Geological Survey, 20 giant gravity cores were collected from areas surrounding Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The regions sampled have had many large earthquake and landslide events, some of which are believed to have triggered tsunamis. The objective of this coring cruise, carried out aboard the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration research vessel Seward Johnson, was to determine the age of several substantial slope failures and seismite layers near Puerto Rico in an effort to map their temporal distribution. Data gathered from the cores collected in 2008 and 11 archive cores from the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory are included in this report. These data include lithologic logs, core summary sheets, x-ray fluorescence, wet-bulk density, magnetic susceptibility, grain-size analyses, radiographs, and radiocarbon age dates.

Historical boundary of the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system by Harrill and Prudic (1998), for the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system study, Nevada and California

This digital data set is a historical definition of the extent (approximately 42,600 square-kilometers) and lateral 
boundary of the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system (modified from Harrill and others, 1988; and 
Harrill and Prudic, 1998). Harrill and others (1988) developed boundaries for the major ground-water flow 
systems in the Great Basin region of Nevada, Utah, and adjacent states using the boundaries of hydrographic 
areas.  Harrill and Prudic (1998) refined the delineation of the Death Valley ground-water flow system by using 
a more accurate base map.  The studies by Harrill and others (1988) and Harrill and Prudic (1998) served as 
historical references used to support development of the transient ground-water model of Death Valley regional 
ground-water flow system (DVRFS) completed in 2004 by the USGS (see "Larger Work Citation", Chapter A,
