2010 New Jersey USACE Lidar-Derived Dune Crest, Toe and Shoreline

The Storm-Induced Coastal Change Hazards component of the National Assessment of Coastal Change Hazards project focuses on understanding the magnitude and variability of extreme storm impacts on sandy beaches. Lidar-derived beach morphologic features such as dune crest, toe and shoreline help define the vulnerability of the beach to storm impacts. This dataset defines the elevation and position of the seaward-most dune crest and toe and the mean high water shoreline derived from the 2010 New Jersey U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) lidar survey. Beach width is included and is defined as the distance between the dune toe and shoreline along a cross-shore profile. The beach slope is calculated using this beach width and the elevation of the shoreline and dune toe.

Tracklines of swath bathymetry collected by the U.S. Geological Survey - St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center offshore of the Gulf Islands, MS, 2010 (ESRI polyline shapefile, 10cct02_subx_Tracklines.shp)

In 2010, the U.S. Geological Survey in Woods Hole, MA and St. Petersburg, FL, in partnership with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District conducted geologic mapping to characterize the seafloor and shallow subsurface stratigraphy offshore of the Gulf Islands of Mississippi. The mapping was carried out during two cruises in March, 2010 on the R/V Tommy Munro of Biloxi, MS. Data were acquired with the following equipment: an SEA Ltd SwathPlus interferometric sonar (both 234 kHz and 468 kHz systems), a Klein 3000 and a Klein 3900 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, high-resolution geologic maps and geophysical interpretations that can be utilized to identify sand resources within the region and better understand the Holocene evolution and anticipate future changes in this coastal system.

SOCAL1852_1889 - Vectorized Shoreline of Southern California Derived from 1852-1889 Source Data

There are critical needs for a nationwide compilation of reliable shoreline data.  To meet these needs, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has produced a comprehensive database of digital vector shorelines by compiling shoreline positions from pre-existing historical shoreline databases and by generating historical and modern shoreline data.  Shorelines are compiled by state and generally correspond to one of four time periods: 1800s, 1920s-1930s, 1970s, and 1998-2002.  Each shoreline may represent a compilation of data from one or more sources for one or more dates provided by one or more agencies.  Details regarding source are provided in the 'Data Quality Information' section of this metadata report.  Shoreline vectors derived from historic sources (first three time periods) represent the high water line at the time of the survey, whereas modern shorelines (final time period) represent the mean high water line.

KP_Q01.TIF - Kingman Reef and Palmyra Atoll U.S. EEZ GLORIA sidescan-sonar data mosaic (1 of 7) (LCC, 50 m, WGS84)

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). For a one month period beginning 24 February 1991 and finishing on 25 March 1991, USGS and IOS (Institute of Oceanographic Sciences, U.K.) scientists conducted a single survey within the Kingman Reef and Palmyra Atoll U.S. EEZ. The survey focused on the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone surrounding the Kingman Reef and Palmyra Atoll. Unfortunately, the southwestern third of this EEZ was not imaged. The results of this single survey were 7 digital mosaics with a 50-meter pixel resolution.

Horizontal flow barriers for the transient ground-water flow model, Death Valley regional ground-water flow system, Nevada and California

This digital dataset defines the surface traces of regional features simulated as horizontal flow barriers in the 
Death Valley regional ground-water flow system (DVRFS) transient flow model, an approximately 45,000 
square-kilometer area of southern Nevada and California. The DVRFS transient groundwater flow model is 
one of several 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). Initially, potential ground-water 
flow barriers were identified on the basis of length, offset, type of slip, orientation with respect to 
predominant ground-water flow directions, the location of springs, abrupt water level offsets, and 
hydraulic characteristics (Sweetkind and others, 2004). These potential flow barriers were tested 
in the transient ground-water flow model for effect on the simulated DVRFS flow system (Faunt and 
others, 2004). Ultimately, portions of 9 features simulated as horizontal flow barriers were shown to 
retard flow in the calibrated DVRFS transient model.

Locations and information for 38 cores (27 from U.S. Geological Survey cruise 2008-008-FA and 11 cores from the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory) from offshore Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands (geographic, WGS 84)

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.

5year_R3_elevation: Modeling the impacts of sand placement strategies on barrier island evolution in a semi-enclosed bay system: model input and results

Using the Delft3D 4 Suite (Lesser and others, 2004), sediment transport and morphologic change was simulated at Little Dauphin Island, Alabama (AL) for 5-year simulations of restoration alternatives as described in Passeri and others (2025). The two-dimensional Delft3D model can be applied to coastal systems to solve for time-dependent bed level elevations. The Delft3D model setup requires the input of bathymetric elevations at each grid cell. Model inputs and outputs in the form of elevation 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 (2025).

AA_Q19.TIF - Aleutian Arc U.S. EEZ GLORIA sidescan-sonar data mosaic (19 of 31) (LCC, 50 m, WGS84)

During late July through September 1987 and June and July 1988 the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted four cruises to cover the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) region of the Aleutian Arc. As in earlier EEZ reconnaissance surveys, the USGS utilized the GLORIA (Geological LOng-Range Inclined Asdic) sidescan-sonar system to complete the geologic mapping. The collected GLORIA data were processed and digitally mosaicked to produce continuous imagery of the seafloor. A total of 31 digital mosaics of a 3 degree by 3 degree (or smaller) area with a 50-meter pixel resolution were completed for the region.

5 meter multibeam-sonar backscatter GeoTIFF mosaic of the offshore portion of the Cape Ann to Salisbury Beach Massachusetts survey area (RESON_BS5M.tif, UTM Zone 19, WGS84)

These data were collected under a cooperative agreement with the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (CZM) and the U.S. Geological Survey, Coastal and Marine Geology Program, Woods Hole Science Center. 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 reserves, and assessing environmental changes due to natural or human impacts. The project is focused on the inshore waters (5-30m 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&lt;http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/project-pages/coastal_mass/html/current_map.html&gt;. This spatial dataset is from the Cape Ann and Salisbury Beach Massachusetts project area. They were collected in two separate surveys in 2004 and 2005 and cover approximately 325 square kilometers of the inner continental shelf.  High resolution bathymetry and backscatter intensity were collected in 2004 and 2005. Seismic profile data, sediment samples and bottom photography were also collected in 2005.

Digital data sets that describe aquifer characteristics of the Vamoosa-Ada aquifer in east-central Oklahoma

This data set consists of digitized polygons of constant
recharge values for the Vamoosa-Ada aquifer, in east-central
Oklahoma. The Vamoosa-Ada aquifer is an important source of
water that underlies about 2,320-square miles of parts of Osage,
Pawnee, Payne, Creek, Lincoln, Okfuskee, and Seminole Counties.
Approximately 75 percent of the water withdrawn from the
Vamoosa-Ada aquifer is for municipal use. Rural domestic use and
water for stock animals account for most of the remaining water
withdrawn. The Vamoosa-Ada aquifer is defined in a ground-water
report as consisting principally of the rocks of the Late
Pennsylvanian-age Vamoosa Formation and overlying Ada Group. The
Vamoosa-Ada aquifer consists of a complex sequence of fine- to
very fine-grained sandstone, siltstone, shale, and conglomerate
interbedded with very thin limestones. The water-yielding
capabilities of the aquifer are generally controlled by lateral
and vertical distribution of the sandstone beds and their
physical characteristics. The Vamoosa-Ada aquifer is unconfined
where it outcrops in about an 1,700-square-mile area.
		
The recharge rate of the Vamoosa-Ada aquifer was estimated as
1.52 inches per year from base-flow measurements and
precipitation records published in a ground-water report. Most
of the recharge polygons were extracted from published digital
geology data sets. The lines in the digital geology data sets
were scanned or digitized from maps published at a scale of
1:250,000 and represent geologic contacts. Some of the lines in
the data set were interpolated in areas where the Vamoosa-Ada
aquifer is overlain by alluvial and terrace deposits near
streams and rivers.
