Text files of the navigation logged with HYPACK Software during survey 2014-002-FA conducted along the Delmarva Peninsula, MD and VA by the U.S. Geological Survey in 2014

The Delmarva Peninsula is a 220-kilometer-long headland, spit, and barrier island complex that was significantly affected by Hurricane Sandy. A U.S. Geological Survey cruise was conducted in the summer of 2014 to map the inner continental shelf of the Delmarva Peninsula using geophysical and sampling techniques to define the geologic framework that governs coastal system evolution at storm-event and longer timescales. Data collected during the 2014 cruise include swath bathymetry, sidescan sonar, chirp and boomer seismic-reflection profiles, acoustic Doppler current profiler, and sample and bottom photograph data. Processed data in raster and vector format are released here for the swath bathymetry, sidescan sonar, and seismic-reflection profiles.  More information about the USGS survey conducted as part of the Hurricane Sandy Response-- Geologic Framework and Coastal Vulnerability Study can be found at the project website or on the WHCMSC Field Activity Web pages: https://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/project-pages/delmarva/ and https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2014-002-FA

Single-Beam Bathymetric Data Collected in 2008 from the Mississippi River Delta Plain, Louisiana

Data release doi:10.5066/P9RIB5GC associated with this metadata record serves as an archive of single-beam bathymetric (SBB) data collected in July 2004 (Madison Bay) and August 2008 (Bully Camp, Point au Chien, Caminada, Fourchon, and Leeville) at six study areas in the Mississippi River Delta Plain (MRDP), Louisiana. Data were collected from historically formed open-water bodies as part of the U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) Gulf Coast Subsidence project to provide more extensive spatial coverage than water depths collected only along coring transects in 2002, 2003, 2006, and 2007 (USGS Open-File Reports [OFR] 2005-1216 and 2009-1158). The bathymetric data were used to estimate magnitudes of one-dimensional (vertical) and three-dimensional (volume) accommodation that formed as a result of extensive historical wetland loss in Barataria and Terrebonne Basins in the MRDP. All bathymetric data are provided as x,y,z point data in the projected coordinate system North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83), Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) Zone 15 North (15N) and all elevations are North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) orthometric heights, derived using the GEOID03 geoid model.

Projected groundwater head along the North and South Carolina coasts

Seamless unconfined groundwater heads for U.S. coastal North and South Carolina groundwater systems were modeled with homogeneous, steady-state MODFLOW simulations. The geographic extent examined was limited primarily to low-elevation (land surface less than approximately 10 m above mean sea level) areas. Steady-state MODFLOW groundwater flow models were used to obtain detailed (50-meter-scale) predictions over large geographic scales (100s of kilometers) of groundwater heads for both current and future sea-level rise (SLR) scenarios (0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, and 3 m) using 3 spatially varying hydraulic conductivities (K); one based on published K’s, one with published K’s reduced by a factor of 10 (K*0.1), and one with published K’s increased by a factor of 10 (K*10) to assess the sensitivity of model results to K. All models had variable thicknesses corresponding to published transmissivities. The models were run with a local mean higher-high water (MHHW) marine boundary condition and with groundwater reaching the land surface removed from the model, simulating loss via natural drainage.

Effects of Late Holocene Climate and Coastal Change in Mobile Bay, Alabama: ADCIRC Model Input and Results (Initial_Elevations_RS)

Using version 52.30 of the ADvanced CIRCulation (ADCIRC) numerical model (Luettich and others, 1992), astronomic tides were simulated at Mobile Bay, Alabama (AL), under scenarios of Holocene geomorphic configurations representing the period of 3500 to 2300 years before present including a breach in the Morgan Peninsula and a land bridge at Pass aux Herons, as described in Smith and others (2020). The two-dimensional ADCIRC model can be applied to coastal and estuarine systems to solve for time-dependent hydrodynamic circulation and transport scenarios. For this study, the ADCIRC unstructured finite element mesh domain spans to the 60th meridian west in the Atlantic Ocean and has higher spatial resolution elements (20 - 100 meters (m) along the northern Gulf of Mexico coast from Louisiana through the Florida Panhandle. The ADCIRC model setup requires the input of topographic and bathymetric elevations at each mesh node. Model inputs in the form of topography and bathymetry and model outputs in the form of water levels and velocities at each mesh node are provided in this data release. For further information regarding model input generation and visualization of model output, refer to Smith and others (2020).

Contours Offshore of Point Reyes Map Map Area, California

This part of DS 781 presents data for the bathymetric contours for several seafloor maps of the Offshore of Point Reyes map area, California. The vector data file is included in "Contours_PointReyes.zip," which is accessible from https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/781/OffshorePointReyes/data_catalog_PointReyes.html. These data accompany the pamphlet and map sheets of Watt, J.T., Dartnell, P., Golden, N.E., Greene, H.G., Erdey, M.D., Cochrane, G.R., Johnson, S.Y., Hartwell, S.R., Kvitek, R.G., Manson, M.W., Endris, C.A., Dieter, B.E., Sliter, R.W., Krigsman, L.M., Lowe, E.N., and Chin, J.L.

10-m interval contours of the Offshore of Point Reyes map area, California, were generated from bathymetry data collected by California State University, Monterey Bay (CSUMB) and by Fugro Pelagos. Mapping was completed between 2007 and 2010, using a combination of 200-kHz and 400-kHz Reson 7125, and 244-kHz Reson 8101 multibeam echosounders, as well as 468-kHz SEA SWATHPlus interferometric system. These mapping missions combined to collect bathymetry from about the 10-m isobath to beyond the 3-nautical-mile limit of California's State Waters. Bathymetric contours at 10-m intervals were generated from a bathymetric surface model. The most continuous contour segments were preserved while smaller segments and isolated island polygons were excluded from the final output. Contours were smoothed via a polynomial approximation with exponential kernel (PAEK) algorithm using a tolerance value of 60 m. The contours were then clipped to the boundary of the map area. These data are not intended for navigational purposes.

Dauphin Island Storms and Sea Level Rise Assessment: XBeach Model Input and Results for the Hurricane Ivan Static Low Sea Level Rise Scenario

Using the numerical model XBeach version 4926 (Roelvink and others, 2009), hurricanes Ivan (2004) and Katrina (2005) were simulated at Dauphin Island, Alabama, under present-day conditions and future sea level rise scenarios as described in Passeri and others, 2018. The XBeach model setup requires the input of a merged topographic and bathymetric digital elevation model (DEM), and inputs of wave spectra (based on significant wave height, peak wave period and wave direction) and water level (tide and surge) time series. Model inputs and outputs in the form of topography and bathymetry are provided in this data release. For further information regarding model input generation and visualization of model output topography and bathymetry, refer to Passeri and others, 2018.

Detailed grain-size data of estuarine, barrier island, and shoreface environments around Dauphin Island, Alabama, USA

In 2015, scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (USGS SPCMSC) conducted sediment sampling surveys on and around the barrier islands of Dauphin Island and Little Dauphin Island, Mobile County, Alabama (AL) under USGS Field Activity Number (FAN) 2015-322-FA (sub-FAN 15BIM09). The study investigated surficial sediment surrounding Dauphin Island and surrounding environments to inform sediment transport model scenarios of coastal change. This data release provides the average grain-size distribution computed from multiple runs of the 240 samples, each from a unique site, which is a subset of samples report in and methods detailed in in Data Series 1046 (Ellis and others, 2017). Sediments were collected from coastal sub-environments including dunes, beaches, protected bays, and open water. The sampling efforts by the USGS were part of a larger study to assess the current state and future function of Dauphin Island, Alabama and assess what types of restoration efforts are feasible, sustainable, and can be resilient to future storms. The data collected and presented in this data release will be utilized by modelers in an attempt to address these questions using hindcast / nowcast modeling as it relates to baseline condition and storm events. This study was funded by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, which is administered by the Gulf Environmental Benefit Fund, following extensive consultation with the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. This report supplements the prior Data Series by providing each samples detailed grain distribution used by Ellis and others (2017) to compute traditional grain-size summary statistics.

BITH2014_BigSandyCreekCorridorUnit_EAARLB_BE_z15_n88g12A_mosaic_metadata: EAARL-B Topography-Big Thicket National Preserve: Big Sandy Creek Corridor Unit, Texas, 2014

A bare-earth topography Digital Elevation Model (DEM) mosaic for the Big Sandy Creek Corridor Unit of Big Thicket National Preserve in Texas was produced from remotely sensed, geographically referenced elevation measurements collected on January 19, 21, 22, 29, and 30, 2014 by the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the National Park Service - Gulf Coast Network. Elevation measurements were collected over the area using the second-generation Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar (EAARL-B), 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 55 meters per second at an elevation of approximately 300 meters, resulting in a laser swath of approximately 240 meters with an average point density of 1.4 points per square meter. A peak sampling rate of 15-30 kilohertz results in an extremely dense spatial elevation dataset. More than 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.

LANDFIRE 2016 Remap National Vegetation Classification (NVC) Micronesia

LANDFIRE's (LF) 2016 Remap (Remap) National Vegetation Classification (NVC) represents the current distribution of vegetation groups within the U.S. National Vegetation Classification System ([version 2.0] http://usnvc.org/). Groups within the NVC IAerarchy are defined as combinations of relatively narrow sets of diagnostic plant species, including dominants and co-dominants, broadly similar composition, and diagnostic growth forms. NVC groups are mapped using decision tree models informed by field reference data, Landsat imagery, elevation data, and biophysical gradient inputs. NVC models are developed separately for each lifeform, including sparse vegetation,  and for each Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Level III Ecoregion (https://www.epa.gov/eco-research/ecoregions). Riparian, alpine, sparse and other site-specific EVTs are constrained by predetermined masks. Urban and developed areas are derived from the National Land Cover Database (NLCD), whereas agricultural lands originate from the Cropland Data Layer (CDL) and Common Land Unit (CLU) database. Developed ruderal classes are identified by combining wildland-urban-interface (WUI) data with population density information from the US Census Bureau. Annual Disturbance products are included to describe areas that have experienced landscape change within the previous 10-year period. NVC is reconciled through QA/QC measures to ensure lifeform is synchronized with both Existing Vegetation Cover (EVC) and Height (EVH) products.

6-m resolution grid of multibeam bathymetry in western Massachusetts Bay map Quadrangle 3 (Q3_BATHY6M)

The U.S. Geological Survey has conducted geologic mapping to characterize the sea floor offshore of Massachusetts.  The mapping was carried out using a Simrad Subsea EM 1000 Multibeam Echo Sounder on the Frederick G. Creed on four cruises conducted between 1994 and 1998.  The mapping was conducted in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and with support from the Canadian Hydrographic Service and the University of New Brunswick.
The long-term goal of this mapping effort is to produce high-resolution geologic maps and a Geographic Information System (GIS) project that presents images and grids of bathymetry, shaded relief bathymetry, and backscatter intensity data from these surveys that will serve the needs of research, management and the public.
