Sediment Grain-Size Data from Sediment Samples Collected in March and September 2012 from the Northern Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana (U.S. Geological Survey Field Activity Numbers 12BIM01 and 12LGC02)

As part of the Barrier Island Evolution Research (BIER) project, scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (SPCMSC) collected sediment samples from the northern Chandeleur Islands in March and September 2012. The overall objective of this project, which integrates geophysical (bathymetric, seismic, and topographic) and sedimentologic data, is to better understand the depositional and erosional processes that drive the morphologic evolution of barrier islands over annual to interannual timescales (1 to 5 years). Between June 2010 and April 2011, in response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the State of Louisiana constructed a sand berm extending more than 14 kilometers (km) along the northern Chandeleur Islands platform. The construction of the berm provided a unique opportunity to investigate how this new sediment source will interact with and affect the morphologic evolution of the barrier-island system. Data collected from this study will be used to describe differences in the physical characteristics and spatial distribution of sediments both along the axis of the berm and also along transects across the berm and onto the adjacent barrier island. Comparison of these data with data from subsequent sampling efforts will provide information about sediment interactions and movement between the berm and the natural island platform, improving our understanding of short-term morphologic change and processes in this barrier-island system. This data series serves as an archive of sediment data collected in March and September 2012 from the Chandeleur Islands sand berm and adjacent barrier-island environments. Data products, including descriptive core logs, core photographs and x-radiographs, results of sediment grain-size analyses, sample location maps, and Geographic Information System (GIS) data files with accompanying formal Federal Geographic Data Committee (FDGC) metadata, can be downloaded from https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/0850/data.html.

BS_Q02.TIF - Bering Sea U.S. EEZ GLORIA sidescan-sonar data mosaic (2 of 30) (LCC, 50 m, Clarke1866)

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 1986 through 1989, the USGS and IOS (Institute of Oceanographic Sciences, U.K.) scientists conducted several surveys within the U.S. EEZ off Alaska. Four surveys during that time period (1986-1987) focused on the Bering Sea region. The results of these surveys were 30 digital mosaics of a 3 degree by 2 degree area with a 50-meter pixel resolution.

Sea Turtle Nesting Decision Points and Cross-Shore Beach Profile Data Collected on July 22, 2022, from Juno Beach, Florida

On July 22, 2022, surveys were conducted on ‘high-density’ sea turtle nesting areas located on Juno Beach, Florida. This dataset, Juno_20220722.zip, was collected and processed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (SPCMSC) and includes sea turtle nesting decision point locations (.csv) and cross-shore beach profiles (.xyz) at those locations. Utilizing previously published methods for collecting beach profile data (Henderson and others, 2016; Brown and others, 2018), data were acquired by USGS scientists walking along cross-shore transect lines while carrying a survey backpack that was equipped with a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver and GNSS antenna. The horizontal position data are provided in the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system, Zone 17 North (17N), referenced to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83), and the elevation data are referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88), GEOID12B.

MODFLOW-NWT model used to demonstrate extending the capture map concept to estimate discrete and risk-based streamflow depletion potential

A previously developed groundwater flow model (https://doi.org/10.5066/P9051RUT) 
was slightly modified to estimate the risk-based discrete relation between groundwater 
extraction and surface-water/groundwater exchange.  Previously, the concept of a 
''capture map'' has been put forward as a means to effectively summarize this relation 
for decision-making consumption.  While capture maps have enjoyed success in the 
environmental simulation industry, they are deterministic, ignoring uncertainty in the 
underlying model. Furthermore, capture maps are not typically calculated in a manner 
that facilitates analysis of varying combinations of extraction locations and/or reaches.  
That is, they are typically constructed with focus on a single reach or group of reaches. 
The former of these limitations is important for conveying risk to decision makers, while 
the latter is important for decision-making support related to surface-water management, 
where future foci may include reaches that were not the focus of the original capture 
analysis.  
		
Herein, we use a MODFLOW-NWT groundwater/surface-water model of the lower San 
Antonio River, Texas, USA to demonstrate a technique to estimate risk-based and 
spatially discrete streamflow depletion potential. This USGS data release contains 
all of the input and output files for the simulations described in the associated journal 
article (https://doi.org/10.1111/gwat.13080)

Sediment deposition and accretion data from a tidal salt marsh in South San Francisco Bay, California 2021-2022

The U.S. Geological Survey, Western Ecological Research Center collected sediment and accretion data at a wave-exposed tidal salt marsh in South San Francisco Bay, California. Sediment traps and feldspar marker horizons (MH) were deployed along transects of increasing distance from the sediment source, at primary, secondary and tertiary marsh channels/bay. Data were collected bi-monthly over two month periods in summer 2021 and winter 2021/2022. Included here are trap and MH plot locations, calculated sediment fluxes at each station by deployment period, annual accretion rates, and covariates associated with sediment deposition and accretion including vegetation structure and elevation. This project aimed to assess the temporal and spatial patterns in sediment deposition in order to better understand sediment delivery and marsh resilience to sea-level rise.

LANDFIRE Remap 2016 Biophysical Settings (BPS) HI

LANDFIRE's (LF) Biophysical Settings (BPS) product (https://www.landfire.gov/bps.php) represents the vegetation system that may have been dominant on the landscape prior to Euro-American settlement. BPS is based on both the current biophysical environment and an approximation of the historical disturbance regime. Map units are based on NatureServe's Ecological Systems classification and represent the natural plant communities that may have been present during the reference period. Each BPS map unit is matched with a model of vegetation succession and both serve as key inputs to the LANDSUM landscape succession model (Keane et al. 2006). The actual time period for this data set is determined by historical context provided by the fire regime, vegetation system dynamics modeling, and the recent field and geospatial inputs used to create it. Weather data from the Daily Surface Weather and Climatological Summaries database [(DAYMET) https://daymet.ornl.gov/) were compiled from 1980 to 1997. LF uses BPS to depict reference conditions of vegetation systems across landscapes and should not be regarded as a representation of existing vegetation. LF Remap BPS is unchanged from LF Nationals BPS except for updates made to water, barren and snow classes (additions or removal), so that not vegetated cover types within the spatial BPS product matches LF existing vegetation and fuel products.

MODFLOW-2000 and MODPATH models for simulations used to delineate contributing areas for 2017 pumping conditions to selected wells in Ingham County, Michigan: U.S. Geological Survey data release

A regional groundwater flow model (https://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2009/5244/) was updated to reflect 2017 
pumping conditions in the Tri-County Region covering most of Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham Counties, 
Michigan. This model was developed to simulate the regional hydrologic system in Tri-County area 
and continues to be used for planning and protection of area water supplies. Revised contributing area 
delineations in response to recent pumping conditions were needed for local wellhead protection area 
programs. The model was calibrated to water level observations for 2017 from well driller logs, average 
water levels for 2012-17 from active USGS observation wells, and estimated baseflow for 2012-16 from 
USGS streamgaging station measurements. The model was used to delineate 10- and 40-year 
contributing areas to selected wells in Lansing and East Lansing, Michigan. This USGS data release 
contains all of the input and output files for the MODFLOW and MODPATH simulations described in 
the associated model documentation report (https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20181133).

Umpqua River Oregon North Umpqua PhotoMosaic 1939

The Umpqua River drains 12,103 square kilometers (4,673 square miles) in southwest Oregon 
before flowing into the Pacific Ocean at Winchester Bay near the city of Reedsport. In cooperation with the Portland 
District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the USGS evaluated sediment transport and gravel storage 
along the downstream alluvial reaches of the North and South Umpqua Rivers and the entire mainstem Umpqua River. 
This includes the lower 46.8 kilometers (29.1 miles) of the North Umpqua River and the lower 122.6 kilometers 
(76.2 miles) of the South Umpqua River. 
	 
The Umpqua River gravel transport study involved multiple analyses, including tracking patterns of historical channel
change and estimation of a sediment budget. To support these analyses, digital channel maps were produced to 
depict channel and floodplain conditions along the Umpqua River system from different time periods.
		
GIS layers defining the active channel of the Umpqua River system were developed for three time periods: 1939, 
1967, and 2005. For the South Umpqua River and the 19 kilometers (12 miles) of the mainstem Umpqua River 
downstream from the confluence of the North and South Umpqua Rivers, GIS layers were also developed for the 
time periods 1994, 2000, and 2009.
		
For this project, the active channel was defined as area typically inundated during annual high flows, and includes 
the low-flow channel as well as side channels, islands, and channel-flanking gravel bars. The active channel datasets 
were developed by digitizing from aerial photographs. Aerial photographs from 1939 and 1967 were scanned, rectified, 
and mosaiced for this project. Digital orthophotographs from 1994, 2000, 2005, and 2009 are publicly available 
(See metadata for each photograph set for more information on the rectification process and resolution of each dataset). 
Although our study area encompasses the Umpqua River and lower reaches of the North and South Umpqua Rivers, 
the extent of each dataset depended upon the underlying aerial photographs; for example, the 1967 photographs 
extend only as far downstream as floodplain kilometer 7, whereas the 1939 and 2005 datasets extend to the mouth 
of the Umpqua River at the Pacific Ocean.

Attributes for MRB_E2RF1 Catchments in Selected Major River Basins of the Conterminous United States: Contact Time, 2002

This tabular data set represents the average contact time, in units of days, compiled for every 
MRB_E2RF1 catchment of Major River Basins (MRBs, Crawford and others, 2006). Contact time, 
as described in Vitvar and others (2002), is defined as the baseflow residence time in the subsurface. 
The source data set was the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS)  1-kilometer grid for the conterminous 
United States (D.M. Wolock, U.S. Geological Survey, written commun., 2008).
		
The MRB_E2RF1 catchments are based on a modified version of the U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency's (USEPA) RF1_2 and include enhancements to support national and regional-scale 
surface-water quality modeling (Nolan and others, 2002; Brakebill and others, 2011).
		
Data were compiled for every MRB_E2RF1 catchment for the conterminous United States covering 
New England and Mid-Atlantic (MRB1), South Atlantic-Gulf and Tennessee (MRB2), the Great Lakes, 
Ohio, Upper Mississippi, and Souris-Red-Rainy (MRB3), the Missouri (MRB4), the Lower Mississippi, 
Arkansas-White-Red, and Texas-Gulf (MRB5), the Rio Grande, Colorado, and the Great basin (MRB6), 
the Pacific Northwest (MRB7) river basins, and California (MRB8).

JPEG formatted images of Knudsen 3202 chirp seismic-reflection profiles collected by the USGS within Red Brook Harbor, MA, 2009

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 Coastal and Marine Science Center (WHCMSC). 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 (http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/project-pages/coastal_mass/). This is the spatial dataset for the Red Brook Harbor survey area within Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts.  These data are the results of a high-resolution geophysical (bathymetry, backscatter intensity, and seismic reflection) and ground validation (sediment samples and bottom photographs) survey, conducted in 2009.
In addition to inclusion within the USGS-CZM geologic mapping effort, these Red Brook Harbor data will be used to assess the shallow-water mapping capability of the geophysical systems deployed for this project, with an emphasis on identifying resolution benchmarks for the interferometric sonar system.
