Declass 2 (2002) = KH-7 and KH-9 Global Camera Photos: 1963 - 1980

'Keyhole (KH) satellite systems KH-7 and KH-9 acquired photographs of the Earth\'s surface with a telescopic camera system and transported the exposed film through the use of recovery capsules. The capsules or buckets were de-orbited and retrieved by aircraft while the capsules parachuted to earth. The exposed film was developed and the images were analyzed for a range of military applications.
The KH-7 surveillance system was a high resolution imaging system that was operational from July 1963 to June 1967. Approximately 18,000 black-and-white images and 230 color images are available from the 38 missions flown during this program. Key features for this program were larger area of coverage and improved ground resolution. The cameras acquired imagery in continuous lengthwise sweeps of the terrain. KH-7 images are 9 inches wide, vary in length from 4 inches to 500 feet long, and have a resolution of 2 to 4 feet.
The KH-9 mapping program was operational from March 1973 to October 1980 and was designed to support mapping requirements and exact positioning of geographical points for the military. This was accomplished by using image overlap for stereo coverage and by using a camera system with a reseau grid to correct image distortion. The KH-9 framing cameras produced 9 x 18 inch imagery at a resolution of 20-30 feet. Approximately 29,000 mapping images were acquired from 12 missions.
The images have variable scales and quality.  Cloud cover is common.  The digital products are produced from a duplicate negative film source.  More than 40 percent of the imagery contains significant cloud cover.  The use of browse imagery gives the user the opportunity to review a reduced resolution image to determine if the area of interest is covered and to check for cloud cover.  The original film sources are maintained by the (http://www.nara.gov) National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).  '

Single Beam Bathymetry XYZ Data Collected in July 2015 from Point Au Fer to Raccoon Point, Louisiana

As part of the Barrier Island Comprehensive Monitoring Program (BICM), scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center conducted a nearshore single-beam bathymetry survey along the south-central coast of Louisiana, from Raccoon Point to Point Au Fer Island, in July 2015. The goal of the BICM program is to provide long-term data on Louisiana’s coastline and use this data to plan, design, evaluate, and maintain current and future barrier island restoration projects. The data described in this report will provide baseline bathymetric information for future research investigating island evolution, sediment transport, and recent and long term geomorphic change, and will support modeling of future changes in response to restoration and storm impacts. The survey area encompasses more than 300 square kilometers (km2) of nearshore environment from Raccoon Point to Point Au Fer Island. This data series serves as an archive of processed single-beam bathymetry data, collected from July 22–29, 2015, under USGS Field Activity Number 2015-320-FA. Geographic information system data products include a 200-meter-cell-size interpolated bathymetry grid, trackline maps, and point data files.

Ground control points at Head of the Meadow, Truro during field activity 2021-014-FA on February 4, 2021

These data map the beach and nearshore environment at Head of the Meadow Beach in Truro, MA, providing updated regional context for the 2019 CoastCam installation. CoastCam CACO-01 are two video cameras aimed at the beach that view the coast shared by beachgoers, shorebirds, seals, and sharks. These data were collected as part of field activity 2021-014-FA and a collaboration with the National Park Service at Cape Cod National Seashore to monitor the region. In February 2021, U.S. Geological Survey and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) scientists conducted field surveys to re-map the field of view of the CoastCam. Aerial images of the beach for use in Structure from motion were taken with a camera (Ricoh GRII) and a post-processed kinematic (PPK) system attached to a helium powered balloon-kite (Helikite). High-precision GPS targets (AeroPoints) were used as ground control points. Bathymetry was collected in the nearshore using a single-beam echosounder mounted on a surf capable self-righting electric autonomous Small Surf Vehicle (SSV). Agisoft Metashape (v. 1.7.2) was used to create a digital elevation model with the collected imagery and this was merged with the bathymetry in MATLAB (v. 2020) to create a continuous topobathy product.

Offshore Baselines for the Undeveloped Areas of New Jersey's Barrier Islands (projected, UTM Zone 18N (NAD83))

Assessing the physical change to shorelines and wetlands is critical in determining the resiliency of wetland systems that protect adjacent habitat and communities. The wetland and back-barrier shorelines of New Jersey changed as a result of wave action and storm surge that occurred during Hurricane Sandy, which made landfall on October 29, 2012.  The impact of Hurricane Sandy will be assessed and placed in its historical context to understand the future vulnerability of wetland systems.
Making these assessments will rely on data extracted from current and historical resources such as maps, aerial photographs, satellite imagery, and lidar elevation data, which document physical changes over time.
This USGS Data Series publication includes several open-ocean shorelines, back-island shorelines, back-island shoreline points, sand area polygons, and sand lines for the undeveloped areas of New Jersey's barrier islands that were extracted from orthoimagery (ortho aerial photography)dated from March 9, 1991 to July 30, 2013.

AA_Q12.TIF - Aleutian Arc U.S. EEZ GLORIA sidescan-sonar data mosaic (12 of 31) (LCC, 50 m, WGS84)

During late July through September 1987 and June and July 1988 the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted four cruises to cover the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) region of the Aleutian Arc. 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. A total of 31 digital mosaics of a 3 degree by 3 degree (or smaller) area with a 50-meter pixel resolution were completed for the region.

Combined PDF of Acquisition Logs Maintained on Cruise 06018 (CRUISE06018_ACQUISITIONLOGS.PDF)

In order to test hypotheses about groundwater flow under and into Chesapeake Bay, geophysical surveys were conducted by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientists on Chesapeake Bay and the Potomac River Estuary in September 2006. Chesapeake Bay resource managers are concerned about nutrients that are entering the estuary via submarine groundwater discharge, which are contributing to eutrophication. The USGS has performed many related studies in recent years to provide managers with information necessary to make informed decisions about this issue. The research carried out as part of the study described here was designed to help refine nutrient budgets for Chesapeake Bay by characterizing submarine groundwater flow and discharge of groundwater beneath part of the mainstem and a major tributary, the Potomac River Estuary.

Yampa River channel elevation at Deerlodge Park, CO

The U.S Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Map provides raster data that can be used to assess 
channel response to streamflow alteration scenarios indicated from computer modeling of streamflow and 
sediment-transport conditions. Each 0.3-meter raster cell represents the surface elevation as derived 
bathymetric and topographic surveys and verified with RTK GPS. 
The Yampa River in northwestern Colorado is the largest, relatively unregulated river system in the upper 
Colorado River Basin. Water from the Yampa River Basin continues to be sought for a number of municipal, 
industrial, and energy uses. It is anticipated that future water development within the Yampa River Basin 
above the amount of water development identified under the Upper Colorado River Endangered Fish Recovery 
Implementation Program and the Programmatic Biological Opinion may require additional analysis in order 
to understand the effects on habitat and river function. Water development in the Yampa River Basin 
could alter the streamflow regime and, consequently, could lead to changes in the transport and storage 
of sediment in the Yampa River at Deerlodge Park. These changes could affect the physical form of the 
reach and may impact aquatic and riparian habitat in and downstream from Deerlodge Park.
The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Colorado Water Conservation Board, began a study in 
2011 to characterize the current hydrodynamic and sediment-transport conditions for a 2-kilometer reach 
of the Yampa River in Deerlodge Park. Characterization of channel conditions in the Deerlodge Park reach 
was completed through topographic surveying, grain-size analysis of streambed sediment, and characterization 
of streamflow properties. This characterization provides (1) a basis for comparisons of current stream functions 
(channel geometry, sediment transport, and stream hydraulics) to future conditions, and (2) a dataset that can 
be used to assess channel response to streamflow alteration scenarios indicated from computer modeling of 
streamflow and sediment-transport conditions.

Seamless USGS Hydrography for the Grand Strand region of South Carolina (HSHYDD, 1:24000: Polygon shapefile)

In 1999, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in partnership with the South Carolina Sea Grant Consortium, began a study to investigate processes affecting shoreline change along the northern coast of South Carolina, focusing on the Grand Strand region.  Previous work along the U.S. Atlantic coast shows that the structure and composition of older geologic strata located seaward of the coast heavily influences the coastal behavior of areas with limited sediment supply, such as the Grand Strand. By defining this geologic framework and identifying the transport pathways and sinks of sediment, geoscientists are developing conceptual models of the present-day physical processes shaping the South Carolina coast.  The primary objectives of this research effort are:  1) to provide a regional synthesis of the shallow geologic framework underlying the coastal upland, shoreface and inner continental shelf, and define its role in coastal evolution and modern beach behavior; 2) to identify and model the physical processes affecting coastal ocean circulation and sediment transport, and to define their role in shaping the modern shoreline; and 3) to identify sediment sources and transport pathways; leading to construction of a regional sediment budget.
