Seabed still images in JPEG format and image locations collected on Stellwagen Bank during U.S. Geological Survey field activity 2014-070-FA, aboard the R/V Auk, December 12, 2014

This field activity is part of the effort to map geologic substrates of the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary region off Boston, Massachusetts. The overall goal is to develop high-resolution (1:25,000) interpretive maps, based on multibeam sonar data and seabed sampling, showing surficial geology and seabed sediment dynamics. This cruise was conducted in collaboration with the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary, and the data collected will aid research on the ecology of fish and invertebrate species that inhabit the region. The Sanctuary's research vessel, R/V Auk, visited 33 locations on Stellwagen Bank at which a customized Van Veen grab sampler (SEABOSS) equipped with a video camera and a CTD was deployed in drift mode to collect sediment for grain-size analysis, video imagery of the seabed, and measurements of water column properties.

Digital data sets that describe aquifer characteristics of the Tillman terrace and alluvial aquifer in southwestern Oklahoma

This data set consists of digital polygons of constant hydraulic
conductivity values for the Tillman terrace and alluvial aquifer
in southwestern Oklahoma. The Tillman terrace and alluvial
aquifer encompasses the unconsolidated terrace deposits and
alluvium associated with the North Fork of the Red River and the
Red River in the western half of Tillman County. These sediments
consist of discontinuous layers of clay, sandy clay, sand, and
gravel. The aquifer extends over an area of 285 square miles and
is used for irrigation and domestic purposes. Granite and the
Hennessey Formation outcrop in northern parts of the aquifer
where alluvial deposits are absent. These outcrops were included
as part of the aquifer in a thesis in which the ground-water
flow in the aquifer was modeled.
An average hydraulic conductivity value of 92.5 feet per day was
used for both the terrace and alluvial deposits in this data set
and was reported in the thesis. The hydraulic conductivity
polygons were derived from two sources. The outer polygon
representing the outer shell of a model grid for a ground-water
flow model of the Tillman terrace and alluvial aquifer was
digitized from a paper map in a thesis at a scale of 1:249,695.
Polygons and lines representing geologic contacts were extracted
from a published digital surficial geology data set based on a
scale of 1:250,000. Small polygons along the eastern boundary of
the aquifer were created when the outer polygon of the model
grid and the geology polygons and lines were combined. These
small polygons represent geologic units other than the Tillman
terrace and alluvial aquifer within the model grid. Three small
polygons representing outcrops of granite and the Hennessey
Formation in the northern parts of the aquifer also were
extracted from the digital surficial geology data set.
Ground-water flow models are numerical representations that
simplify and aggregate natural systems. Models are not unique;
different combinations of aquifer characteristics may produce
similar results. Therefore, values of hydraulic conductivity
used in the model and presented in this data set are not
precise, but are within a reasonable range when compared to
independently collected data.

LANDFIRE Remap Anderson Fire Behavior Fuel Model (FBFM13) Micronesia

LANDFIRE’s (LF) 2016 Remap (Remap) Anderson Fire Behavior Fuel Model 13 (FBFM13) product represents distinct distributions of fuel loadings found among surface fuel components (live and dead), size classes, and fuel types (Anderson 1982). The fuel models are described by the most common fire carrying fuel type (grass, brush, timber, or slash), loading and surface area-to-volume ratio by size class and component, fuel bed depth, and moisture of extinction. FBFM13 can be used for fire spread related characteristic models. 
LF Remap used vegetation products and 10-years of disturbance data to create Fuel Vegetation Type (FVT), Fuel Vegetation Cover (FVC), and Fuel Vegetation Height (FVH) for disturbed areas to represent pre-disturbance scenarios in FBFM13. A combination of pre-disturbance and non-disturbance Existing Vegetation Type (EVT) are used to assign surface fuel models. FBFM13 was developed using the most recent 10 years of Annual Disturbance products and is a capable fuels product that calculates Time Since Disturbance (TSD) assignments for disturbed areas using an "effective year." For example, year 2020 fuels may be calculated for the year 2020. the new process considers all the existing disturbances included in LF Remap and adjusts the TSD for these to the effective year (2020 in the example), making the products "2020 capable fuels." More information about capable fuels can be found at https://www.landfire.gov/lf_remap.php.

1 meter Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) - USGS National Map 3DEP Downloadable Data Collection

This is a tiled collection of the 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) and is one meter
resolution. The 3DEP data holdings serve as the elevation layer of The National Map, and
provide foundational elevation information for earth science studies and mapping
applications in the United States. Scientists and resource managers use 3DEP data for
hydrologic modeling, resource monitoring, mapping and visualization, and many other
applications. The elevations in this DEM represent the topographic bare-earth surface. USGS
standard one-meter DEMs are produced exclusively from high resolution light detection and
ranging (lidar) source data of one-meter or higher resolution. One-meter DEM surfaces are
seamless within collection projects, but, not necessarily seamless across projects. The
spatial reference used for tiles of the one-meter DEM within the conterminous United States
(CONUS) is Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) in units of meters, and in conformance with
the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). All bare earth elevation values are in meters and
are referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88). Each tile is
distributed in the UTM Zone in which it lies. If a tile crosses two UTM zones, it is
delivered in both zones. The one-meter DEM is the highest resolution standard DEM offered in
the 3DEP product suite. Other 3DEP products are nationally seamless DEMs in resolutions of
1/3, 1, and 2 arc seconds. These seamless DEMs were referred to as the National Elevation
Dataset (NED) from about 2000 through 2015 at which time they became the seamless DEM layers
under the 3DEP program and the NED name and system were retired. Other 3DEP products include
five-meter DEMs in Alaska as well as various source datasets including the lidar point cloud
and interferometric synthetic aperture radar (Ifsar) digital surface models and intensity
images. All 3DEP products are public domain.

Sediment Trap Time Series of GDGT and alkenone flux in the Gulf of Mexico

The tetraether index of C86 (TEX86) and alkenone unsaturation index (Uk37Õ) molecular biomarker proxies have been broadly applied in down-core marine sediments to reconstruct past sea surface temperature (SST). Although both TEX86 and Uk37 have been interpreted as proxies for mean annual SST throughout the global ocean, regional studies of glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGT)s and alkenones in sinking particulate matter (SPM) are required to understand the influence of seasonality, depth distribution and diagenesis on downcore variability. USGS scientists measured GDGT and alkenone flux, as well as the TEX86 and Uk37Õ indices in a 4-year sediment trap time series (2010-2014) in the northern Gulf of Mexico (nGoM), with weekly-to-monthly resolution, and compared these data with core-top sediments at the same location. GDGT and alkenone fluxes do not show a consistent seasonal cycle; however, the largest flux peaks for both occurs in winter. Uk37 co-varies with SST over the 4-year sampling interval, but the U-SST relationship in this dataset implies a smaller slope or non-linearity at high temperatures when compared with existing calibrations. Furthermore, the flux-weighted Uk37 value from sinking particles is significantly lower than that of underlying core-top sediments, suggesting preferential diagenetic loss of the tri-unsaturated alkenone in sediments. TEX86 does not co-vary with SST, suggesting production in the subsurface ocean. The flux-weighted mean TEX86 matches that of core-top sediments, suggesting that sedimentary TEX86 in the Gulf of Mexico reflects local autochthonous production. We explore these potential sources of uncertainty in both proxies in the GoM, but demonstrate that they show nearly identical trends in 20th century SST, despite these factors.

SEAWAT Data Sets for Simulation of Effluent Transport in the Floridan Aquifer System at the North District Wastewater Treatment Plant, Southeastern Florida, 1997-2011: U.S. Geological Survey Data Release

A modified version of SEAWAT was used in a study by the USGS and the Miami-Dade Water 
and Sewer Department to simulate effluent injection into the Boulder Zone and groundwater flow 
and effluent transport in the Floridan aquifer system. The Miami-Dade Water and Sewer 
Department injects nonhazardous, secondarily treated, domestic wastewater (effluent) into 
the Boulder Zone of the Floridan aquifer system at the North District Wastewater Treatment 
Plant, in southeastern Florida. Effluent injection into the Boulder Zone began in June 1997 
and was first detected outside the Boulder Zone in the overlying Avon Park permeable zone 
in May 1998. The Department has detected injected effluent outside the Boulder Zone at six 
locations since May 1998. This USGS data release contains all of the input and output files 
for the simulations described in the associated model documentation report 
(https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20175145).

P07_Oct2012_Oct2014: Hurricane Sandy Beach Response and Recovery at Fire Island, New York: Shoreline and Beach Profile Data, October 2012 to October 2014.

This spreadsheet consists of Fire Island, NY pre- and post- storm cross-shore profiles collected from October 2012 to October 2014. This dataset contains a set of cross-shore profiles covering 16 dates from October 28 2012 to October 07 2014. As part of the assessment of beach and dune morphologic change associated with Hurricane Sandy and the series of winter storms that followed, DGPS elevation data were collected along ten shore-perpendicular profiles extending from just inland of the crest of the dune to the low-tide swash zone. Profile elevations were surveyed one day prior to landfall (October 28, 2012), three and four days immediately after the storm (November 01/02 2012), and at monthly and bi-monthly intervals for 24 months (to October 2014) in order to capture both the initial impact of the event and the ongoing recovery of the beach system. Monitoring is ongoing, and this data series will be updated as future surveys are completed.

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

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).
