Estuarine Back-barrier Shoreline and Beach Sandline Change Model Skill and Predicted Probabilities: Event-driven backshore shoreline change

The Barrier Island and Estuarine Wetland Physical Change Assessment was created to calibrate and test probability models of barrier island estuarine shoreline (backshore) and beach sandline change for study areas in Virginia, Maryland, and New Jersey. The models examined the influence of hydrologic and physical variables related to long-term and storm-derived overwash and back-barrier shoreline change. Input variables were constructed into a Bayesian Network (BN) using Netica, a computer program created by NORSYS Software Corporation that allows users to work with belief networks and influence diagrams. Each model is tested on its ability to predict changes in long-term and event-driven (for example, Hurricane Sandy-induced) backshore and sandline change based on learned correlations from the input variables across the domain. Using the input hydrodynamic and geomorphic data, the BN is constrained to produce a prediction of an updated conditional probability of backshore or sandline change at each location. To evaluate the ability of the BN to reproduce the observations used to train the model, the skill, log likelihood ratio and probability predictions were utilized. These data are the probability and skill metrics for the event-driven estuarine back-barrier shoreline change model.

Hillshaded-relief image produced from lead-line and single-beam sonar soundings, swath interferometric, multibeam, and lidar datasets (bb_navd88_hs_10m, Esri grid, UTM Zone 19N, WGS 84)

Geologic, sediment texture, and physiographic zone maps characterize the sea floor of Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts. These maps were derived from interpretations of seismic-reflection profiles, high-resolution bathymetry, acoustic-backscatter intensity, bottom photographs, and surficial sediment samples. The interpretation of the seismic stratigraphy and mapping of glacial and Holocene marine units provided a foundation on which the surficial maps were created. This mapping is a result of a collaborative effort between the U.S. Geological Survey and the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management to characterize the surface and subsurface geologic framework offshore of Massachusetts.

MauiN_shorelines - Shorelines of the northern coastal region of Maui, Hawaii, from Waihee to Kuau, used in shoreline change analysis.

Sandy ocean beaches are a popular recreational destination, often surrounded by communities containing valuable real estate.  Development is on the rise despite the fact that coastal infrastructure is subjected to flooding and erosion.  As a result, there is an increased demand for accurate information regarding past and present shoreline changes.  To meet these national needs, the Coastal and Marine Geology Program of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is compiling existing reliable historical shoreline data along open-ocean sandy shores of the conterminous United States and parts of Alaska and Hawaii under the National Assessment of Shoreline Change project.  Shoreline vectors derived from historic and modern sources represent the low water mark (beach toe).
There is no widely accepted standard for analyzing shoreline change.  Existing shoreline data measurements and rate calculation methods vary from study to study and prevent combining results into state-wide or regional assessments.  The impetus behind the National Assessment project was to develop a standardized method of measuring changes in shoreline position that is consistent from coast to coast.  The goal was to facilitate the process of periodically and systematically updating the results in an internally consistent manner.

Airborne geophysical survey: Anchorage '00

Aeromagnetic data were collected along flight lines by instruments in an aircraft that recorded magnetic-field intensity values and location. In surveys such as this one where the data were originally collected in digital form and not digitized from contour maps, the information we provide typically includes latitude, longitude, magnetic anomaly in nanoTeslas, and intermediate values used to derive the magnetic anomaly such as total magnetic field.

Soil-Water Balance model and datasets used to estimate  		potential groundwater recharge Brunswick, New Hanover, and Pender  		counties North Carolina 1980 through 2016

A soil-water balance model (SWB) was developed to estimate 
potential recharge to the groundwater system in Brunswick, New 
Hanover, and Pender counties North Carolina 1980 through 2016 to 
support a regional groundwater flow model being produced for the 
surficial, Castle Hayne, and Peedee Aquifer System.  The SWB model 
was not calibrated; however, various water budget components from 
the model output compared reasonably well with other estimates 
including evapotranspiration rates reported by NASA's MODIS 
(Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) satellite platform.  
This USGS data release contains all the input and output files for 
the simulations described in this data release.

SEABOSS Images from USGS Cruise 2011-006-FA in JPEG Format (2011_006_CRPHOTOGRAPHS)

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), is producing detailed geologic maps of the coastal sea floor. Bathymetry, originally collected by NOAA for charting purposes, provides a fundamental framework for research and management activities off southern New England, shows the character and terrain of the seabed, and provides information on sediment transport and benthic habitat. During April-May 2009 NOAA completed hydrographic survey H12007 in the vicinity of Cross Rip Channel in Nantucket Sound off southern Cape Cod, Massachusetts and during June 2011 bottom photographs and surficial sediment data were acquired as part of ground-truth reconnaissance surveys of this area. Interpretations were derived from the multibeam echo-sounder data and the ground-truth data used to verify them.

Hydrodynamic and Sediment Transport Model Application for OSAT3 Guidance:  Significant wave height

The U.S. Geological Survey has developed a method for estimating the mobility and potential alongshore transport of heavier-than-water sand and oil agglomerates (tarballs or surface residual balls, SRBs).  During the Deepwater Horizon spill, some oil that reached the surf zone of the northern Gulf of Mexico mixed with suspended sediment and sank to form sub-tidal mats. If not removed, these mats can break apart to form SRBs and subsequently re-oil the beach.  A method was developed for estimating SRB mobilization and alongshore movement.  A representative suite of wave conditions was identified from buoy data for April, 2010, until August, 2012, and used to drive a numerical model of the spatially-variant alongshore currents.  Potential mobilization of SRBs was estimated by comparing combined wave- and current-induced shear stress from the model to critical stress values for several sized SRBs. Potential alongshore flux of SRBs was also estimated to identify regions more or less likely to have SRBs deposited under each scenario.  This methodology was developed to explain SRB movement and redistribution in the alongshore, interpret observed re-oiling events, and thus inform re-oiling mitigation efforts.

National Land Cover Database 2001 (NLCD01) Tile 3, Southwest United States: NLCD01_3

This 30-meter data set represents land use and land cover for the conterminous United States for the 2001 time period. 
The data have been arranged into four tiles to facilitate timely display and manipulation within a Geographic Information 
System (see https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/file/get/631405cad34e36012efa3299?name=nlcd01-partitions.jpg).
		
The National Land Cover Data Set for 2001 was produced through a cooperative project conducted by the Multi-Resolution 
Land Characteristics (MRLC) Consortium. The MRLC Consortium is a partnership of Federal agencies (http://www.mrlc.gov), 
consisting of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the 
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the U.S. Forest Service 
(USFS), the National Park Service (NPS), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the Bureau of Land Management 
(BLM), and the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). One of the primary goals of the project is to 
generate a current, consistent, seamless, and accurate National Land Cover Database (NLCD) circa 2001 for the United 
States at medium spatial resolution. For a detailed definition and discussion on MRLC and the NLCD 2001 products, 
refer to Homer and others (2004), (see: http://www.mrlc.gov/mrlc2k.asp).
		
The NLCD 2001 was created by partitioning the United States into mapping zones. A total of 68 mapping zones (see https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/file/get/631405cad34e36012efa3299?name=browsenlcd01-mappingzones.jpg), were delineated within the conterminous United States 
based on ecoregion and geographical characteristics, edge-matching features, and the size requirement of Landsat 
mosaics. Mapping zones encompass the whole or parts of several states. Questions about the NLCD mapping zones 
can be directed to the NLCD 2001 Land Cover Mapping Team at the USGS/EROS, Sioux Falls, SD (605) 594-6151 
or mrlc@usgs.gov.
