Color Shaded-Relief GeoTIFF Image Showing the 2-m Bathymetry Generated from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Survey H11995 in Rhode Island Sound (H11995_MB2M_GEO.TIF, Geographic, WGS84)

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. For more information on the ground-truth survey see &lt;http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/operations/ia/public_ds_info.php?fa=2011-006-FA&gt;.

Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2005, 2008, 2012, 2016 and 2018 Site 5003 land-water matrix

Wetland restoration efforts conducted by the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in Louisiana rely on monitoring to determine the efficacy of these projects. The Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) was developed to assist in a multiple-reference approach that uses aspects of hydrogeomorphic functional assessments and probabilistic sampling for monitoring. The CRMS program includes a suite of approximately 390 sites that encompass the range of hydrological and ecological conditions for each stratum. As part of CRMS, land and water classifications are created from Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quadrangles (DOQQs) approximately every three years at all CRMS sites. This dataset consists of a matrix of five land-water products (2005, 2008, 2012, YYYY and 2018).  The resulting matrix has 32 possible classes defined by the combination of land and water categories on those five dates.

02031 - Geophysical Surveys of Bear Lake, Utah-Idaho, September 2002 - Sound Velocity Profiles (SVP)

Bear Lake is a tectonic lake that has existed for at least several hundred thousand years. The lake basin is a relatively simple half graben, a spoon-shaped depression tilted toward the main fault on the east side of the lake. The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with researchers from several universities, has been studying the sediments of Bear Lake since 1996. The general purpose of this effort is to reconstruct past limnological conditions and regional climate on a range of timescales, from hundreds of years to hundreds of thousands of years. This research relates to a variety of human concerns, including water usage in the Bear River basin. Past work has included several coring operations, a seismic-reflection survey, sediment-trap deployments, a barge-mounted drilling operation with the GLAD800 drill rig, and a variety of other studies.
The objectives of the September, 2002 operations, preliminarily reported here, were (1) to compile a detailed bathymetric map of the lake using swath-mapping techniques, in order to provide baseline data for a variety of applications and studies, and (2) to complete a sidescan-sonar survey of the lake, providing a nearly complete acoustic image of the lake floor. Limited amounts of subbottom acoustic-reflection data (CHIRP) were also collected, along with samples of lake-floor sediments representative of different kinds of backscatter patterns.  These surveys followed an earlier subbottom acoustic-reflection survey (1997), using boomer and 3.5 kHz systems (S. M. Colman, unpublished data).

Transects with linear regression rates of change for GPS, Worldview, and aerial image shorelines for the Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve in Mississippi from 2013-2020

Shoreline change analysis is an important environmental monitoring tool for evaluating coastal exposure to erosion hazards, particularly for vulnerable habitats such as coastal wetlands where habitat loss is problematic world-wide. The increasing availability of high-resolution satellite imagery and emerging developments in analysis techniques support the implementation of these data into coastal management, including shoreline monitoring and change analysis. Geospatial shoreline data were created from a semi-automated methodology using WorldView (WV) satellite data between 2013 and 2020. The data were compared to contemporaneous field-surveyed Real-time Kinematic (RTK) Global Positioning System (GPS) data collected by the Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (GBNERR) and digitized shorelines from U.S. Department of Agriculture National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) orthophotos. Field data for shoreline monitoring sites was also collected to aid interpretation of results. This data release contains digital vector shorelines, shoreline change calculations for all three remote sensing data sets, and field surveyed data. The data will aid managers and decision-makers in the adoption of high-resolution satellite imagery into shoreline monitoring activities, which will increase the spatial scale of shoreline change monitoring, provide rapid response to evaluate impacts of coastal erosion, and reduce cost of labor-intensive practices. For further information regarding data collection and/or processing methods, refer to the associated journal article (Smith and others, 2021)

Sprague River Oregon Floodplain Centerline

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.

Random forest regression model and prediction rasters of fluoride in groundwater in basin-fill aquifers of western United States

A random forest regression (RFR) model was developed to predict groundwater fluoride concentrations in four western United Stated principal aquifers —California Coastal basin-fill aquifers, Central Valley aquifer system, Basin and Range basin-fill aquifers, and the Rio Grande aquifer system.  The selected basin-fill aquifers are a vital resource for drinking-water supplies. The RFR model was developed with a dataset of over 12,000 wells sampled for fluoride between 2000 and 2018. This data release provides rasters of predicted fluoride concentrations at depth typical of domestic and public supply wells in the selected basin-fill aquifers and includes the final RFR model that documents the prediction modeling process and verifies and reproduces the model fit metrics and mapped predictions in the accompanying publication. Included in this data release are 1) a model archive of the R project including source code, input files (model training and testing data and rasters of predictor variables), output files (rasters of predicted fluoride at depth typical of domestic and supply wells, respectively), 2) a read_me file describing the model archive and explanation of use, 3)  a Supporting_GIS_information.csv file describing model variables and source data, and 4), this metadata record.

Independent transect point locations (coordinates only) associated with images collected during unmanned aerial systems (UAS) flights over Coast Guard Beach, Nauset Spit, Nauset Inlet, and Nauset Marsh, Cape Cod National Seashore, Eastham, Massachusetts on 1 March 2016 (Text file)

This dataset contains the locations of independent survey points acquired on the same day that images were obtained from unmanned aerial systems (UAS) flown in the Cape Cod National Seashore. The overall objective of the field work was to evaluate the quality and cost of mapping from UAS images. Low-altitude (approximately 120 meters above ground level) digital images were obtained from cameras in a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flown from the lawn adjacent to the Coast Guard Beach parking lot on 1 March, 2016. U.S. Geological Survey technicians deployed and mapped 28 targets that appear in some of the images for use as ground control points. All activities were conducted according to Federal Aviation Administration regulations and under a National Park Service Scientific Research and Collecting Permit, study number CACO-00285, permit number CACO-2016-SCI-003. This dataset contains locations of both in place and placed targets that may be used as ground control to constrain photogrammetric reconstructions.
One hundred and forty-four (144) points were measured along several cross-shore transects on the beach. These points were measured with real-time differential global positioning system (GPS) and have horizontal and vertical uncertainties of approximately +/ 0.03 m. These points were not used in photogrammetric processing, so they can be used for independent evaluation of photogrammetric products. The independent survey points are listed in file CACO_transect_Points_20160301.csv.
