Interferometric Swath Bathymetric Data Collected in 2012 from the Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana (U.S. Geological Survey Field Activity Number 12BIM03)

As part of the Barrier Island Evolution Research Project, scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey's St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center conducted nearshore geophysical surveys off the northern Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana, in July of 2012. The overall objective of the study is to better understand barrier-island geomorphic evolution, particularly storm-related depositional and erosional processes that shape the islands over annual to interannual timescales (1-5 years). The collection of geophysical data will allow us to identify relationships between the geologic history of the island and its present day morphology and sediment distribution. This mapping effort was the first in a series of three planned surveys in this area. High resolution geophysical data collected in each of 3 consecutive years along this rapidly changing barrier-island system will provide a unique time-series dataset that will significantly further the analyses and geomorphological interpretations of this and other coastal systems, improving our understanding of coastal response and evolution over short time scales (1-5 years).
This report serves as an archive of processed interferometric swath and single-beam bathymetry data that were collected during two cruises (USGS Field Activity Numbers 12BIM03 and 12BIM04) along the northern portion of the Chandeleur Islands, Breton National Wildlife Refuge, Louisiana in July of 2012. Geographic information system data products include a 50 m-cell-size interpolated bathymetry grid surface, trackline maps, and point data files. Additional files include error analysis maps, Field Activity Collection System logs, and formal Federal Geographic Data Committee metadata.

Altitudes of the top of model layers in the Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM)

This digital dataset defines the model grid and altitudes of the top of the 10 model layers and base of the model 
simulated in the transient hydrologic model of the Central Valley flow system. The Central Valley encompasses 
an approximate 50,000 square-kilometer region of California. The complex hydrologic system of the Central Valley 
is simulated using the USGS numerical modeling code MODFLOW-FMP (Schmid and others, 2006), which 
estimates dynamically integrated supply-and-demand components of irrigated agriculture as part of the simulation 
of surface-water and ground-water flow based on MODFLOW-2000. This application is referred to here as the Central 
Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM) (Faunt, 2009). Utilizing MODFLOW-FMP, the CVHM simulates groundwater and 
surface-water flow, irrigated agriculture, land subsidence, and other key processes in the Central Valley on a monthly 
basis from 1961-2003.  The total active modeled area is an approximately 20,334 square-miles on a finite difference 
grid comprising 441 rows, 98 columns. Slightly less that 50 percent of the cells are active. It has a uniform horizontal 
discretization of 1x1 square mile and is oriented parallel to the valley axis, 34 degrees west of north (Faunt, 2009).The 
thickness of model layers is derived by sequentially subtracting the altitudes of the uppermost to the lowermost model 
layers. Most model layers range in thickness from 15 to more than 300 meters, and thickness generally increases with 
depth (Faunt, 2009). The upper 3 model layers are used to simulate the relatively shallow flow through basin-fill sediments.  
Layers 4 and 5 are used to represent the Corcoran Clay Member of the Tulare Formation.  The lower 5 layers are used 
to simulate the confined deeper portion of the basin-fill sediments.  The CVHM is the most recent regional-scale model 
of the Central Valley developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).The CVHM was developed as part of the USGS 
Groundwater Resources Program (see "Foreword", Chapter A, page iii, for details).

Underwater temperature data collected from off-shore coral reefs of the Florida Keys, U.S.A. (Version 1)

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Coral Reef Ecosystems Studies (CREST) project (http://coastal.er.usgs.gov/crest/) provides science that helps resource managers tasked with the stewardship of coral reef resources. Coral reef organisms are very sensitive to high and low water-temperature extremes. It is critical to precisely know water temperatures experienced by corals and associated plants and animals that live in the dynamic nearshore environment to document thresholds in temperature tolerance. This dataset provides underwater temperature data recorded every fifteen minutes from 2009 to 2015 at five off-shore coral reefs in the Florida Keys, USA. From northeast to southwest, these sites are Fowey Rocks (Biscayne National Park), Molasses Reef (Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, FKNMS), Crocker Reef (FKNMS), Sombrero Reef (FKNMS), and Pulaski Shoal (Dry Tortugas National Park). A portion of the dataset included here was interpreted in conjunction with coral and algal calcification rates in Kuffner et al. (2013).

1-m interval contours of smoothed multibeam bathymetry in western Massachusetts Bay map Quadrangle 2 (Q2_1MCTR.SHP)

The U.S. Geological Survey has conducted geologic mapping to characterize the sea floor offshore of Massachusetts.  The mapping was carried out using a Simrad Subsea EM 1000 Multibeam Echo Sounder on the Frederick G. Creed on four cruises conducted between 1994 and 1998.  The mapping was conducted in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and with support from the Canadian Hydrographic Service and the University of New Brunswick.
The long-term goal of this mapping effort is to produce high-resolution geologic maps and a Geographic Information System (GIS) project that presents images and grids of bathymetry, shaded relief bathymetry, and backscatter intensity data from these surveys that will serve the needs of research, management and the public.

Missouri River bed elevations at pipeline crossing near Yankton, South Dakota surveyed during 2011 flood on July, 20

A RESON SeaBat™ 7125 multibeam echosounder in conjunction with an Applanix Position Orientation Solution for Marine 
Vessels (POS MV™) WaveMaster system motion sensor, HYPACK®/HYSWEEP® navigation software, and Ashtech Z-Xtreme 
GPS receivers or Trimble R8 receivers was used to survey the Missouri River bed at 15 pipeline crossings at four different 
locations, at three power plant locations, and at one transmission tower during the 2011 flood event.  The format of this 
data is a grid with each cell covering 0.5 meter by 0.5 meter.  The elevation value (North American Vertical Datum, NAVD88) 
represented by each cell is the most probable elevation for that cell based on calculated Total Propagated Uncertainty (TPU) 
as calculated in Caris HIPS and SIPS software.  Calculated TPS values are then used by Caris to create a Combined Uncertainty 
and Bathymetric Estimator (CUBE) surface.  The surface grid was used to export the cell centroid position (Northing, Easting in 
UTM zone 14 North, in meters) along with the cell elevation (referenced to NAVD88, in meters) to create the text file.  The data 
were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Omaha 
Public Power District (OPPD).

COW_Q27.TIF - U.S. Pacific West Coast EEZ GLORIA sidescan-sonar data mosaic (27 of 36) (TM, 50 m, NAD27)

In March 1983, President Ronald Reagan signed a proclamation establishing an Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of the United States extending its territory 200 nautical miles from the coasts of the United States, Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. territories and possessions. In 1984, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Office of Marine Geology began a program to map these areas of the EEZ. The U.S. Pacific Coast was the first EEZ region to be mapped and launched GLORIA (Geological LOng-Range Inclined Asdic) mapping program. The area covered by this survey extended from the Mexican to the Canadian borders and from the continental shelf edge, at about the 400-meter bathymetric contour, to 200 nautical miles from the coast. Survey of the U.S. Pacific West Coast EEZ was completed in four consecutive cruises conducted from late April through mid-August 1984. The collected GLORIA data were processed and digitally mosaicked to produce continuous imagery of the seafloor. A total of 36 digital mosaics of an approximate 2 degree by 2 degree (or smaller) area with a 50-meter pixel resolution were completed for the region.

Sea Turtle Nesting Decision Points and Cross-Shore Beach Profile Data Collected on July 19, 2022, from Jupiter Island, Florida

On July 19, 2022, surveys were conducted on ‘high-density’ sea turtle nesting areas located on Jupiter Island, Florida. This dataset, Jupiter_20220719.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.

Digital Shoreline Analysis System version 4.1 Transects with Long-Term Rate Calculations for the Greater Boston region from the southern side of Cape Ann, Massachusetts to Sandy Neck Beach in Sandwich, Massachusetts (GreaterBoston_LT.shp)

Sandy ocean beaches are a popular recreational destination, often surrounded by communities containing valuable real estate.  Development is on the rise despite the fact that coastal infrastructure is subjected to flooding and erosion.  As a result, there is an increased demand for accurate information regarding past and present shoreline changes.  To meet these national needs, the Coastal and Marine Geology Program of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is compiling existing reliable historical shoreline data along open-ocean sandy shores of the conterminous United States and parts of Alaska and Hawaii under the National Assessment of Shoreline Change project.
There is no widely accepted standard for analyzing shoreline change.  Existing shoreline data measurements and rate calculation methods vary from study to study and prevent combining results into state-wide or regional assessments.  The impetus behind the National Assessment project was to develop a standardized method of measuring changes in shoreline position that is consistent from coast to coast.  The goal was to facilitate the process of periodically and systematically updating the results in an internally consistent manner.

Sprague River Oregon Centerline 2000

The Sprague River drains 4090 square kilometers in south-central Oregon before flowing into the Williamson 
River and upper Klamath Lake. In cooperation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the USGS and University 
of Oregon conducted a study to evaluate channel and floodplain processes for the 131 km of the Sprague River 
and its major tributaries, including the lower 20 km of the South Fork Sprague River, the lower 16 km of the North 
Fork Sprague River, and the lower 62 km of the Sycan River. The study involved multiple analyses, including 
assessments of historical channel change, riparian and floodplain vegetation, and surficial geology. To support 
these analyses, digital floodplain and channel maps were prepared from historic notes, maps, and aerial photos 
to depict channel and floodplain conditions at different times between 1866 and 2005. The geospatial database 
of current and historic channel and floodplain conditions will also enable evaluation of long-term trends pertaining 
to aquatic and riparian habitat conditions.

Coastal Plain Rotasonic Boreholes acquired within the lower coastal plain of South Carolina's Grand Strand region (ROTASONIC, Point shapefile)

In 1999, the USGS, in partnership with the South Carolina Sea Grant Consortium, began a study to investigate processes affecting shoreline change along the northern coast of South Carolina, focusing on the Grand Strand region.  Previous work along the U.S. Atlantic coast shows that the structure and composition of older geologic strata located seaward of the coast heavily influences the coastal behavior of areas with limited sediment supply, such as the Grand Strand. By defining this geologic framework and identifying the transport pathways and sinks of sediment, geoscientists are developing conceptual models of the present-day physical processes shaping the South Carolina coast.  The primary objectives of this research effort are:  1) to provide a regional synthesis of the shallow geologic framework underlying the coastal upland, shoreface and inner continental shelf, and define its role in coastal evolution and modern beach behavior; 2) to identify and model the physical processes affecting coastal ocean circulation and sediment transport, and to define their role in shaping the modern shoreline; and 3) to identify sediment sources and transport pathways; leading to construction of a regional sediment budget.
