1-m Stretched Sidescan-Sonar Image of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Survey H11322 in Western Rhode Island Sound (H11322_1M_SSS_UTM_STR.TIF, UTM)

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) is working cooperatively with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to interpret the surficial geology in estuaries along the coast of the northeastern United States. The purpose of our present study is to define the sea floor morphology and sedimentary environments in an area of Rhode Island Sound using sidescan-sonar and bathymetric data collected onboard the NOAA Ship RUDE as well as historic seismic-reflection data. The mosaic, bathymetry, and their interpretations serve many purposes, including: (1) defining the geological variability of the sea floor, which is one of the primary controls of benthic habitat diversity; (2) improving our understanding of the processes that control the distribution and transport of bottom sediments and their distribution of benthic habitats and associated infaunal community structures; and (3) providing a detailed framework for future research, monitoring, and management activities. The sidescan-sonar mosaics and bathymetry images also serve as base maps for subsequent sedimentological, geochemical, and biological observations, because precise information on environmental setting is important for selection of sampling sites and for accurate interpretations of point measurements.

Net infiltration of the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system, Nevada and California

Recharge in the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system (DVRFS) was estimated from net infiltration 
simulated by Hevesi and others (2003) using a deterministic mass-balance method. Hevesi and others (2003) 
estimated potential recharge for the DVRFS, an approximately 100,000 square-kilometer region of southern 
Nevada and California, using the net-infiltration model, INFILv3. Net infiltration, estimated on a cell-by-cell basis, 
equaled the sum of snowmelt, precipitation, and infiltrating surface flow minus the sum of evapotranspiration (ET), 
runoff, and changes in root-zone storage. The net-infiltration model was calibrated to available surface-water flow 
measurements and constrained by prior estimates of recharge and discharge. The calibrated net-infiltration model 
(model 1 in Hevesi and others, 2003) was used to simulate daily net infiltration from 1950 through 1999 across the 
DVRFS model domain (San Juan and others, 2004) and was also used as a component of recharge in the DVRFS 
transient ground-water flow model (Faunt and others, 2004). The DVRFS transient ground-water flow model is one 
of the most recent in a number of 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).

Locations, values, and uncertainties of hydraulic-head observations for the transient ground-water flow model, Death Valley regional ground-water flow system, Nevada and California

This digital geospatial data set contains the locations, values, and uncertainties of hydraulic-head 
observations used in the calibration of the transient model of the Death Valley regional ground-water 
flow system (DVRFS). The hydraulic-head observations were developed by compositing one or more 
water-levels measured in wells throughout the DVRFS model domain, a 45,000 square-kilometer 
region of southern Nevada and California. To develop hydraulic-head observations, nearly all available 
water levels for the DVRFS region through 2004 were compiled in Ground-Water Site Inventory (GWSI), 
the ground-water component of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Water Information System 
(NWIS) database. Water levels suitable for developing hydraulic-head observations representative of 
regional, steady-state (pre-pumping) and transient (affected by pumping) ground-water flow conditions 
were identified through analyses. The resulting water levels were averaged by year and for each well to 
produce 4,899 hydraulic-head observation values at 868 wells. The uncertainty of each hydraulic-head 
observation was statistically quantified from the values of uncertainties associated with well altitude and 
location, nonsimulated transient stress, measurement accuracy, model discretization, and pumpage 
estimates.

Seismic Reflection Results from the Gyre 1997 Cruise at the Bryant Canyon of the Louisiana Gulf Coast

This CD-ROM contains digital high resolution seismic-reflection data collected during the USGS GYRE 97006 cruise. The coverage is the offshore Louisana continental slope, Gulf of Mexico. The seismic-reflection data are stored as IBM 4 bit interger SEG-Y format that can be read and manipulated by most seismic-processing software. Much of the information specific to the data are contained in the headers of the SEG-Y format files. The file system format is ISO 9660 which can be read with DOS, Unix, and MAC operating systems with the appropriate CD-ROM driver 
software installed. This directory contains the processed (using Promax 7.2) and unprossesd (RAW) GI air gun data collected on the GYRE 97006 cruise. These data were collected using a Seismic Systems Inc. generated 
injected (GI) air gun source. On this cruise the GI gun was configured with two 105 cu. in. chambers, a total of 210 cu. in. The GI gun works by using one chamber for a primary pulse and the second chamber injects a pulse near the maximum expansion of the primary pulse. This results in a dampening effect on the collapse of the primary bubble pulse. The data were logged on an Intel based PC computer (Mudseis system). The data are 
two-channel (two traces per shot).

Sprague River Oregon Floodplain 1968

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.

Baseline Coastal Oblique Aerial Photographs Collected from Breton Island, Louisiana, to the Alabama-Florida Border, July 13, 2013.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducts baseline and storm response photography missions to document and understand the changes in vulnerability of the Nation's coasts to extreme storms. On July 13, 2013, the USGS conducted an oblique aerial photographic survey from Breton Island, Louisiana, to the Alabama-Florida border, aboard a Cessna 172 aircraft at an altitude of 500 feet (ft) and approximately 1,000 ft offshore (Figure 2). This mission was flown to collect data for assessing incremental changes since the last survey and can be used for assessing future coastal change. The photographs provided here are Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) images. The photograph locations are an estimate of the position of the aircraft and do not indicate the location of the feature in the images (See the Navigation Data page). These photographs document the configuration of the barrier islands and other coastal features at the time of the survey. The header of each photo is populated with time of collection, Global Positioning System (GPS) latitude, GPS longitude, GPS position (latitude and longitude), keywords, credit, artist (photographer), caption, copyright, and contact; these were added to each photograph's EXIF header using ExifTools. Photographs can be opened directly with any JPEG-compatible image viewer by clicking on a thumbnail on the contact sheet. Table 1 provides detailed information about the assigned location, name, data, and time the photograph was taken along with links to the photograph. In addition to the photographs, a Google Earth Keyhole Markup Language (KML) file is provided and can be used to view the images by clicking on the marker and then clicking on either the thumbnail or the link above the thumbnail. The KML files were created using the photographic navigation files. Note: A KML number was assigned to each photograph to aid navigation of the Google Earth file. These numbers correspond to the site labels in Google Earth.

KauaiW_LT - Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) version 4.2 transects with long-term weighted linear regression rate calculations for the Kauai west region from Oomano to Polihale, Hawaii

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.

EAARL Coastal Topography--Assateague Island National Seashore, Maryland and Virginia, 2002: Bare Earth

ASCII XYZ point cloud data were produced from remotely sensed, geographically referenced elevation measurements acquired cooperatively by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the National Park Service (NPS). Elevation measurements were collected over Assateague Island National Seashore using the first-generation National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar (EAARL), a pulsed laser ranging system mounted onboard an aircraft to measure ground elevation, vegetation canopy, and coastal topography. The system uses high-frequency laser beams directed at the Earth's surface through an opening in the bottom of the aircraft's fuselage. The laser system records the time difference between emission of the laser beam and the reception of the reflected laser signal in the aircraft. The plane travels over the target area at approximately 60 meters per second at an elevation of approximately 300 meters, resulting in a laser swath of approximately 240 meters with an average point spacing of 2-3 meters. The EAARL, developed originally by NASA at Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, measures ground elevation with a vertical resolution of 3 centimeters. A sampling rate of 3 kilohertz or higher results in an extremely dense spatial elevation dataset. Over 100 kilometers of coastline can be surveyed easily within a 3- to 4-hour mission. When resultant elevation maps for an area are analyzed, they provide a useful tool to make management decisions regarding land development.

Estimates of nitrogen-fertilizer sales for the conterminous United States in 1989

This coverage contains estimates of nitrogen-fertilizer sales for the
conterminous United States in 1989 as reported by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (1990) and by Jerald Fletcher (West Virginia University,
written commun., 1992). Nitrogen-fertilizer sales estimates in this
coverage are reported for each county polygon in tons of actual nutrient
sold (inorganic nitrogen, phosphate, and potash) as distinct from total
tons of fertilizer product.
The data are summarized for fertilizer years (i.e. the 1987 fertilizer
year runs from July 1, 1986 to June 30, 1987).
The polygons representing county boundaries in the conterminous United
States, as well as lakes, estuaries, and other nonland-area features were
derived from the Digital Line Graph (DLG) file representing the
1:2,000,000-scale map in the National Atlas of the United States (1970).
