Interpretation of Sidescan-sonar Imagery in the John Day Reservoir

A two-week field operation was conducted in the John Day Reservoir on the Columbia River to image the floor of the pool, to measure the distribution and thickness of post-impoundment sediment, and to verify these geophysical data with video photography and bottom sediment samples. The field program was a cooperative effort between the USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Team of the Geologic Division and the USGS Columbia River Research Laboratory of the Biological Resources Division. The data collection was completed aboard the R/V ESTERO during September 13-27, 2000.
The interest in sediment accumulation in the reservoir was two-fold. First, it was unknown how effective this reservoir was as a sediment trap to material that otherwise would have been transported down-river to the estuary and eventually to the ocean. The recent erosion of beaches along the Washington coast has been attributed to a decreased contribution of sediment from the Columbia River to the coastal system due to the damming of the river. Second, sediment accumulation on the floors of reservoirs along the Columbia River has been suggested to be diminishing salmon spawning grounds. The extent of changes in habitat since construction of the John Day Dam, however, had not been documented. Common data sets were needed to address both of these questions, and for these reasons this geophysical and sampling program was undertaken.

Umpqua River Oregon Active Channel 2009

The Umpqua River drains 12,103 square kilometers (4,673 square miles) in southwest Oregon 
before flowing into the Pacific Ocean at Winchester Bay near the city of Reedsport. In cooperation 
with the Portland District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the USGS evaluated 
sediment transport and gravel storage along the downstream alluvial reaches of the North and 
South Umpqua Rivers and the entire mainstem Umpqua River. This includes the lower 46.8 
kilometers (29.1 miles) of the North Umpqua River and the lower 122.6 kilometers (76.2 miles) 
of the South Umpqua River. 
		
The Umpqua River gravel transport study involved multiple analyses, including tracking patterns 
of historical channel change and estimation of a sediment budget. To support these analyses, 
digital channel maps were produced to depict channel and floodplain conditions along the 
Umpqua River system from different time periods.
		
GIS layers defining the active channel of the Umpqua River system were developed for three 
time periods: 1939, 1967, and 2005. For the South Umpqua River and the 19 kilometers (12 miles) 
of the mainstem Umpqua River downstream from the confluence of the North and South Umpqua 
Rivers, GIS layers were also developed for the time periods 1994, 2000, and 2009.
		
For this project, the active channel was defined as area typically inundated during annual high 
flows, and includes the low-flow channel as well as side channels, islands, and channel-flanking 
gravel bars. The active channel datasets were developed by digitizing from aerial photographs. 
Aerial photographs from 1939 and 1967 were scanned, rectified, and mosaiced for this project. 
Digital orthophotographs from 1994, 2000, 2005, and 2009 are publicly available (See metadata 
for each photograph set for more information on the rectification process and resolution of each 
dataset). Although our study area encompasses the Umpqua River and lower reaches of the 
North and South Umpqua Rivers, the extent of each dataset depended upon the underlying 
aerial photographs; for example, the 1967 photographs extend only as far downstream as 
floodplain kilometer 7, whereas the 1939 and 2005 datasets extend to the mouth of the 
Umpqua River at the Pacific Ocean.

Acquisition log maintained during the U.S. Geological Survey Field Activity 2014-009-FA conducted offshore of Fire Island, NY in 2014 (Excel spreadsheet format)

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted a geophysical and sampling survey in October 2014 that focused on a series of shoreface-attached ridges offshore of western Fire Island, NY. Seismic-reflection data, surficial grab samples and bottom photographs and video were collected along the lower shoreface and inner continental shelf. The purpose of this survey was to assess the impact of Hurricane Sandy on this coastal region. These data were compared to seismic-reflection and surficial sediment data collected by the USGS in the same area in 2011 to evaluate any post-storm changes in seabed morphology and modern sediment thickness on the inner continental shelf. For more information about the WHCMSC Field Activity, see: https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2014-009-FA.

Survey lines along which EdgeTech 424 chirp seismic-reflection data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in the Barnegat Bay, NJ in 2011, 2012, and 2013 (Esri polyline shapefile, Geographic, WGS 84).

Water quality in the Barnegat Bay-Little Egg Harbor estuary along the New Jersey coast is the focus of a multidisciplinary research project begun in 2011 by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in partnership with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. This narrow estuary is the drainage for the Barnegat Watershed and flushed by just three inlets connecting it to the Atlantic Ocean, is experiencing degraded water quality, algal blooms, loss of seagrass, and increases in oxygen-depletion events, seaweed, stinging nettles, and brown tide. The scale of the estuary and the scope of the problems within it necessitate a multidisciplinary approach that includes characterizing its physical characteristics (for example, depth, magnitude and direction of tidal currents, distribution of seafloor and subseafloor sediment) and modeling how the physical characteristics interact to affect the estuary's water quality. Scientists from USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program offices in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, and St. Petersburg, Florida, began mapping the seafloor of the Barnegat Bay-Little Egg Harbor estuary in November 2011 and completed in September 2013. With funding from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and logistical support from the USGS New Jersey Water Science Center, data were collected with a suite of geophysical tools, including swath bathymetric sonar for measuring seafloor depth, a sidescan sonar for collecting acoustic-backscatter data (which provides information about seafloor texture and sediment type), and a subbottom profiler for imaging sediment layers beneath the floor of the estuary.

Material-property zones used in the transient ground-water flow model of the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system, Nevada and California

Zones in this data set represent spatially contiguous areas that influence ground-water flow in the 
Death Valley regional ground-water flow system (DVRFS), an approximately 45,000 square-kilometer 
region of southern Nevada and California. The zones typically represent areas of differing material 
properties; however, they may also represent spatially similar areas, such as areas of similar 
infiltration rates. Material properties, such as horizontal hydraulic conductivity, vertical anisotropy, 
or storage characteristics may vary within a single hydrogeologic unit and be represented by 
numerous zones; or they may be the same for multiple hydrogeologic units and be  represented 
by a single zone. The DVRFS zones were typically derived from geological or hydrological analyses 
by Sweetkind and others (2004) and Faunt and others (2004) and were used as input in the DVRFS 
transient ground-water flow model, a regional-scale model 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, for details).

ESRI Binary 75-m Grid of the Base of the Mud Depth Surface of Apalachicola Bay based on Seismic-Reflection Profiles Collected in 2006 from U.S. Geological Survey Cruise 06001 (BASEMUD_SURF, UTM, Zone 16, WGS84)

Apalachicola Bay and St. George Sound contain the largest oyster fishery in Florida, and the growth and distribution of the numerous oyster reefs here are the combined product of modern estuarine conditions and the late Holocene evolution of the bay. A suite of geophysical data and cores were collected during a cooperative study by the U.S. Geological Survey, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Coastal Services Center, and the Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve to refine the geology of the bay floor as well as the bay's Holocene stratigraphy. Sidescan-sonar imagery, bathymetry, high-resolution seismic profiles, and cores show that oyster reefs occupy the crests of sandy shoals that range from 1 to 7 kilometers in length, while most of the remainder of the bay floor is covered by mud. The sandy shoals are the surficial expression of broader sand deposits associated with deltas that advanced southward into the bay between 6,400 and 4,400 years before present. The seismic and core data indicate that the extent of oyster reefs was greatest between 2,400 and 1,200 years before present and has decreased since then due to the continued input of mud to the bay by the Apalachicola River. The association of oyster reefs with the middle to late Holocene sandy delta deposits indicates that the present distribution of oyster beds is controlled in part by the geologic evolution of the estuary.

Shoreline Positions and Sand Extents Derived from Landsat Satellite Imagery, Assateague Island to Metompkin Island, Maryland and Virginia, 1984 to 2014

The U.S. Geological Survey has a long history of responding to and documenting the impacts of storms along the Nation’s coasts and incorporating these data into storm impact and coastal change vulnerability assessments. These studies, however, have traditionally focused on sandy shorelines and sandy barrier-island systems, without consideration of impacts to coastal wetlands. The goal of the Barrier Island and Estuarine Wetland Physical Change Assessment project is to integrate a wetland-change assessment with existing coastal-change assessments for the adjacent sandy dunes and beaches, initially focusing on Assateague Island along the Maryland and Virginia coastline. Assateague Island was impacted by waves and storm surge associated with the passage of Hurricane Sandy in October 2012, including erosion and overwash along the ocean-facing sandy shoreline as well as erosion and overwash deposition in the back-barrier and estuarine bay environments.
This report serves as an archive of data that were derived from Landsat 5 and Landsat 8 imagery from 1984 to 2014, including wetland and terrestrial habitat extents; open-ocean, back-barrier, and estuarine mainland shoreline positions; and sand-line positions along the estuarine mainland and barrier shorelines from Assateague Island, Maryland to Metompkin Island, Virginia. The geographic information system data files with accompanying formal Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) metadata can be downloaded from http://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/0968/ds968_data.html.
