EC_Q09.TIF - U.S. Atlantic East Coast EEZ GLORIA sidescan-sonar data mosaic (9 of 23) (ACEA, 50 m, Clarke1866)

From February to May 1987 the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted five cruises to cover the U.S. Atlantic Continental Margin Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) seaward of the continental shelf edge, and from the Canadian border southward to the northern Blake Plateau off Florida. 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. Twenty-three digital mosaics of a 2 degree by 2 degree (or smaller) area with a 50-meter pixel resolution were completed for the U.S. Atlantic Continental Margin region.

Bathymetric data for Sugar Creek Lake near Moberly, Missouri, 2018

Sugar Creek Lake is located approximately 4 miles northwest of Moberly, Missouri, in Randolph County, and has a full-pool surface area of approximately 330 acres. The lake primarily is used for recreation and drinking-water supply for the town of Moberly, Missouri. An earthen dam approximately 38-feet high and 1,125-feet long was constructed across the Sugar Creek valley in 1922. The elevation of the top of the dam is approximately 754 feet, with a 90-feet wide concrete spillway located near the right bank (west end) at an elevation of 746.8 feet. A previous bathymetric survey was completed in 2003. In cooperation with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, the U.S. Geological Survey resurveyed the bathymetry of the lake in September 2018 to provide data to update the area-capacity table and to compare the current bathymetric surface with the previous bathymetric surface. 
The gridded bathymetric point data (scl_bath.zip) was computed on a 1.64-foot grid using the combined uncertainty and bathymetric estimator method that is used as the source of points to create the bathymetric surface.

MODFLOW-NWT models and calibration files for the Mississippi Alluvial Plain, USA

The existing three-dimensional groundwater flow model (MODFLOW-2005) of the Mississippi Embayment Regional Aquifer system (MERAS), South-Central United States, was updated with: 1) higher stream density; 2) more spatially refined recharge; 3) better estimates of water use; 4) more recent time period simulated; 5) more realistic storage conceptualization; and 6) more robust handling of dry nodes through use of MODFLOW-NWT. For this study, the MODFLOW-NWT groundwater flow model was used to evaluate four parameter estimation algorithms with lower computational burdens. This USGS data release contains all of the input and output to run the model simulations described in the associated Hunt et al. (2021) journal article (https://doi.org/10.1111/gwat.13106).

Streamflow characteristics for sites used in RESTORE Streamflow alteration assessments

A total of 193 streamflow characteristics (SFCs) were calculated from daily streamflow values for data from 1,371 USGS streamgages located on tributaries and streams flowing to the Gulf of Mexico. Streamgages used to calculate SFCs required a minimum of 10 years of continuous daily streamflow data. Data presented will be used to: (1) identify regions which are statistically similar for estimating streamflow characteristics; (2) develop regional regression models to predict SFC values for current and reference basin conditions at ungaged sites; and (3) identify trends related to changing streamflow and streamflow alteration over time.

Digital data for three-dimensional geologic framework model of the Rio San Jose groundwater basin, New Mexico

This data release contains a geospatial database related to a digital 3D geologic framework of the Rio San Jose watershed, New Mexico. The geospatial database contains two main data elements: (1) input data to the 3D framework model; (2) interpolated elevations and thicknesses of stratigraphic units as a cellular array. Input surface and subsurface data for 18 stratigraphic units have been condensed to points that define the elevation of the top of each stratigraphic unit; these point data sets serve as the digital input to the framework model. The point data are derived from geologic maps, cross sections, oil and gas wells, water wells, structure contour maps, and thickness maps. Additional input geologic features that either cut or overlay the stratigraphic units in the model are provided as separate features classes, including the location of faults, volcanic dikes, and volcanic vents.  
The interpolated elevations and thickness of stratigraphic units are presented as a cellular array: essentially a “flattened”, two-dimensional representation of the digital 3D geologic framework, which defines the elevation and thickness of 18 geologic units within the geologic framework model. The elevation and thickness of the geologic units are contained within a single polygon feature class ModelCells, which contains a mesh of polygons that represent model cells that have multiple attributes including XY location, elevation and thickness of each geologic unit. The elevation and thickness of the geologic units are also provided as individual raster layers in geoTIFF format.
The 3D model output is described in a file as an ascii array of points: the 3D model was sampled within a 3D modeling program with a 3D array of nodes with 500-m spacing in the X and Y directions and 50-m in the Z direction. The 3D model was sampled at each node and the model unit intersected at the node saved as a coded value. This array of X,Y,Z coordinates and the coded formation values is presented as a CSV ascii file. 
The spatial data are accompanied by non-spatial tables that describe the sources of geologic information, a glossary of terms, a description of model units, and a Data Dictionary that duplicates the Entity and Attribute information contained in the metadata file. Spatial data are also presented as shapefiles.

DCpts, DTpts, SLpts: Dune crest, dune toe, and mean high water shoreline positions: Fire Island, NY, 2014

Understanding how sea-level rise will affect coastal landforms and the species and habitats they support is critical for crafting approaches that balance the needs of humans and native species. Given this increasing need to forecast sea-level rise effects on barrier islands in the near and long terms, we are developing Bayesian networks to evaluate and to forecast the cascading effects of sea-level rise on shoreline change, barrier island state, and piping plover habitat availability. We use publicly available data products, such as lidar, orthophotography, and geomorphic feature sets derived from those, to extract metrics of barrier island characteristics at consistent sampling distances. The metrics are then incorporated into predictive models and the training data used to parameterize those models. This data release contains the extracted metrics of barrier island geomorphology and spatial data layers of habitat characteristics that are input to Bayesian networks for piping plover habitat availability and barrier island geomorphology. These datasets and models are being developed for sites along the northeastern coast of the United States. This work is one component of a larger research and management program that seeks to understand and sustain the ecological value, ecosystem services, and habitat suitability of beaches in the face of storm impacts, climate change, and sea-level rise.
