MOSAIC9 - Composite sidescan-sonar mosaic collected by the U.S. Geological Survey offshore of the Chandeleur Islands, LA, 2007 (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.

False-color composite of Landsat data for the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system project, Nevada and California

The false-color composite image of the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system (DVRFS), 
an approximately 100,000 square-kilometer region of southern Nevada and California, was derived 
from Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper (TM) data for 1996. The image is a composite of spectral bands 
2, 4, and 7 in RGB (Red-Green-Blue) space. Individual bands were processed to display their full 
dynamic range. The image was further processed in hue-saturation space to emphasize specific 
geologic features. The image was a base reference for field reconnaissance work and for developing 
of the DVRFS transient ground-water flow model. The DVRFS flow model is one of the most recent 
in a number of regional-scale models developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for the U.S. 
Department of Energy (DOE) to support investigations at the Nevada Test Site (NTS) and at Yucca 
Mountain, Nevada (see "Larger Work Citation", Chapter A, page 8).

Digital Shoreline Analysis System version 4.3 transects and long-term linear regression shoreline change statistics for all data available within the Nantucket coastal region including the Nantucket Sound- and Atlantic Ocean- facing coasts of Nantucket, Muskeget and Tuckernuck Islands (Nantucket_transects_rates_LTw.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) 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).

Digital data sets that describe aquifer characteristics of the alluvial and terrace deposits along the Cimarron River from Freedom to Guthrie in northwestern Oklahoma

This data set consists of digital water-level elevation contours
for the alluvial and terrace deposits along the Cimarron River
in northwestern Oklahoma during 1985-86. Ground water in 1,305
square miles of Quaternary-age alluvial and terrace deposits
along the the Cimarron River from Freedom to Guthrie is an
important source of water for irrigation, industrial, municipal,
stock, and domestic supplies. Alluvial and terrace deposits are
composed of interfingering lenses of clay, sandy clay, and
cross-bedded poorly sorted sand and gravel. The aquifer is
composed of hydraulically connected alluvial and terrace
deposits that unconformably overlie the Permian-age Formations.
		
Water-level elevations measured in 1985 and 1986 ranged from
1,650 feet to 950 feet above sea level. Regional ground-water
flow is generally southeast to southwest towards the Cimarron
River, except where the flow direction is affected by perennial
tributaries. The water-level elevation contours were digitized
from a mylar map at a scale of 1:250,000. The maps were
published at a scale of 1:900,000.

Winter 2016, part A, coastal oblique aerial photographs collected from the South Carolina/North Carolina border to Assateague Island, Virginia, February 18-19, 2016

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducts baseline and storm-response photography missions to document and understand the changes in the vulnerability of the Nation's coasts to extreme storms. On February 18-19, 2016, the USGS conducted an oblique aerial photographic survey from the South Carolina/North Carolina border to Assateague Island, Virginia, aboard a Cessna 182 aircraft at an altitude of 500 feet (ft) and approximately 1,200 ft offshore (fig. 2, http://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/1029/html/ds1029_fig2.html). This mission was conducted to collect data for assessing incremental changes in the beach and nearshore area since the last survey, flown in October 2015 (http://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2015-338-FA) (Morgan, 2016, [https://doi.org/10.3133/ds/995]), and the data can be used to assess future coastal change.  The photographs provided are Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) images. The photograph locations are estimates of the aircraft’s positions and do not indicate the location of the feature in the images (See the Navigation Data page, http://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/1029/html/ds1029_nav.html). These photographs document the configuration of the barrier islands and other coastal features at the time  of the survey. ExifTool was used to add the following to the header of each photo: time of collection, Global Positioning System (GPS) latitude, GPS longitude, keywords, credit, artist (photographer), caption, copyright, and contact information.  Photographs can be opened directly with any JPEG-compatible image viewer by clicking on a thumbnail on the contact sheet. All image times are recorded in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Table 1 (http://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/1029/html/ds1029_table.html) provides detailed information about the assigned location, name, date, and time the photograph was taken along with links to the photograph. In addition to the photographs, a Google Earth Keyhole Markup Language (KML) file is provided and can be used to view the images by clicking on the marker and then clicking on either the thumbnail or the link above the thumbnail. The KML files were created using the photographic navigation files. Note: A KML number was assigned to each photograph to assist users in navigating the Google Earth file. These numbers correspond to the site labels in Google Earth.

MODFLOW-NWT model used to develop a simple method for simulating groundwater interactions with fens to forecast development effects

This groundwater-flow model archive contains all of the input and output files for an 
inset MODFLOW-NWT model extracted from the northern (Wisconsin) half of a 
published USGS steady-state regional model of the Upper Fox River Basin in the 
U.S. Upper Midwest. The construction and details of the published USGS steady-state 
model of the Upper Fox River Basin is outlined in the U.S. Geological Survey 
Scientific Investigations Report 2018-5038 (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20185038). 
The regional model is archived in the data release at https://doi.org/10.5066/F76D5R5V. 
The extracted model was used to demonstrate an innovative new method for 
delinating fen distribution and discharge using the MODFLOW UZF package. 
The extracted model incorporates the Mukwonago River Basin, a 10-digit 
hydrologic unit code (HUC10) basin occupying 86.2 mi2 (223 km2) in southeastern 
Wisconsin. The extracted model was used to demonstrate how regional and local 
flow patterns can be enhanced by adding a version of the UZF file that automatically 
inserts “seepage drains” in cells where the water table is near the land surface 
(within the “undulation depth”). Details on the extracted model construction and 
calibration, including preparation of the “stripped-down” UZF file central to the 
proposed fen delineation method can be found in the supporting information of 
the journal article in Groundwater (https://doi.org/10.1111/gwat.12931). This 
USGS data release contains all of the input and output files for the simulations 
described in the journal article in Groundwater (https://doi.org/10.1111/gwat.12931).
