Location of bottom video tracklines collected during field activity 2011-015-FA by the U.S. Geological Survey and Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management offshore of Massachusetts around Cape Cod and the Islands in September 2011 (polyline shapefile)

Accurate data and maps of sea-floor geology are important first steps toward protecting habitat, delineating marine resources, and assessing environmental changes due to natural or human effects. Initiated in 2003, the primary objective of the Geologic Mapping of the Massachusetts Sea Floor program is to develop regional geologic framework information for the management of coastal and marine resources. The project is focused on the inshore waters (5–30 meters deep) of Massachusetts. This dataset is from U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) sampling survey 2011-015-FA (September 9–16, 2011) by the USGS Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center and the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management with partners from the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency aboard the ocean survey vessel Bold. During the survey, surficial sediment samples and bottom still and video imagery were collected in Cape Cod Bay, Buzzards Bay, and Vineyard Sound; south of Martha's Vineyard; and south and east of Nantucket, Massachusetts.

Lidar Point Cloud - USGS National Map 3DEP Downloadable Data Collection

This data collection of the 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) 
consists of Lidar Point Cloud (LPC) projects as provided to the USGS. These point cloud files contain all the original lidar points collected, with the original spatial reference and units preserved. These data may have been used as the source of updates to the 1/3-arcsecond,
1-arcsecond, and 2-arcsecond seamless 3DEP Digital Elevation Models (DEMs). 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. Lidar (Light detection and ranging) discrete-return point cloud data are available in LAZ format. The LAZ format is a lossless compressed version of the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) LAS format. Point Cloud data can be converted from LAZ to LAS or LAS to LAZ without the loss of any information.  Either format stores 3-dimensional point cloud data and point attributes along with header information and variable length records specific to the data. Millions of data points are stored as a 3-dimensional data cloud as a series of geo-referenced x, y coordinates and z (elevation), as well as other attributes for each point. Additonal information about the las file format can be found here: https://www.asprs.org/divisions-committees/lidar-division/laser-las-file-format-exchange-activities. All 3DEP products are public domain.

EAARL Coastal Topography--Eastern Florida, Post-Hurricane Jeanne, 2004: Bare Earth

A digital elevation model (DEM) of a portion of the eastern Florida coastline, post-Hurricane Jeanne (September 2004 hurricane), was produced from remotely sensed, geographically referenced elevation measurements cooperatively by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Elevation measurements were collected over the area using the 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 50 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 +/-15 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.

MODFLOW-2005 and SWI2 models for assessing groundwater availability in volcanic aquifers on Kaua'i, O'ahu, and Maui, Hawai'i

Steady-state numerical groundwater-flow models were constructed for the 
islands of Kaua'i, O'ahu, and Maui, Hawai'i. Separate models were created 
for each island using MODFLOW-2005 (Harbaugh, 2005) with the Seawater 
Intrusion (SWI2) package (Bakker and others, 2013), which allows simulation 
of freshwater and saltwater in ocean-island aquifers. The purpose of the models 
is to enable quantification of the hydrologic effects of withdrawals and changes 
in climate. These effects include water-table depression, saltwater rise, and 
reduction of natural groundwater discharge to streams, springs, and the ocean. 
The effects can place limits on groundwater availability. 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/sir20205126).

Coastal Single-beam Bathymetry Data Collected in 2022 From Breton Island, Louisiana

As part of the restoration monitoring component of the Deepwater Horizon early restoration project, scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (USGS SPCMSC) conducted single-beam and multibeam bathymetry surveys around Breton Island, Louisiana (LA), from August 3-5, 2022, for Field Activity Number (FAN) 2022-328-FA. The purpose of data collection was to develop a baseline digital elevation model of the seafloor around Breton Island for comparison with both previous and future elevation assessments, and to evaluate elevation change following island restoration. The survey encompassed approximately 65 square kilometers of nearshore environment including the former Mississippi River to Gulf Outlet and submerged areas of South Breton Island. The single-beam bathymetry was acquired using two 12-foot personal watercrafts (PWCs) and a 20-foot Twin Vee. All vessels were outfitted with high precision Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers, motion reference units, and survey grade single-beam echosounders. For further information regarding data collection and/or processing, please see the metadata associated with this data release. For additional information on post-processing steps please refer to DeWitt and others (2016) and Hansen and others (2017).

Substrate Enhancement Project near Shorty's Island and Myrtle Creek, Kootenai River near Bonners Ferry, Idaho - Water Year 2011

In 2009, the Kootenai Tribe of Idaho released and implemented the Kootenai River 
Habitat Restoration Master Plan. This plan aimed to restore, enhance, and maintain 
the Kootenai River habitat and landscape to support and sustain habitat conditions 
for aquatic species and animal populations. In support of these restoration efforts, 
the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Kootenai Tribe of Idaho, conducted 
high-resolution multibeam echosounder bathymetric surveys in May, June, and July 
2011, as a baseline bathymetric monitoring survey on the Kootenai River near Bonners 
Ferry, Idaho. Three channel patterns or reaches exist in the study area—braided, 
meander, and a transitional zone connecting the braided and meander reaches. 
Bathymetric data were collected at three study areas in 2011 to provide: (1) surveys 
in unmapped portions of the meander reach; (2) monitoring of the presence and extent 
of sand along planned lines within a section of the meander reach; and (3) monitoring 
aggradation and degradation of the channel bed at specific cross sections within the 
braided reach and transitional zone. The bathymetric data will be used to update and 
verify flow models, calibrate and verify sediment transport modeling efforts, and aid in 
the biological assessment in support of the Kootenai River Habitat Restoration Master 
Plan. The data and planned lines for each study reach were produced in ASCII XYZ 
format supported by most geospatial software.

Elevation of paleochannel unconformities underlying the inner shelf of Long Bay (Grid)

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.

AA_Q05.TIF - Aleutian Arc U.S. EEZ GLORIA sidescan-sonar data mosaic (5 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.

ESRI Binary 75-m Grid of the Flooding Surface in Apalachicola Bay based on Seismic-Reflection Profiles Collected in 2006 from U.S. Geological Survey Cruise 06001 (FLOODSURF, 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.

NORCAL1952_1971 - Vectorized Shoreline of Northern California Derived from 1952-1971 Source Data

There are critical needs for a nationwide compilation of reliable shoreline data.  To meet these needs, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has produced a comprehensive database of digital vector shorelines by compiling shoreline positions from pre-existing historical shoreline databases and by generating historical and modern shoreline data.  Shorelines are compiled by state and generally correspond to one of four time periods: 1800s, 1920s-1930s, 1970s, and 1998-2002.  Each shoreline may represent a compilation of data from one or more sources for one or more dates provided by one or more agencies.  Details regarding source are provided in the 'Data Quality Information' section of this metadata report.  Shoreline vectors derived from historic sources (first three time periods) represent the high water line at the time of the survey, whereas modern shorelines (final time period) represent the mean high water line.
