Digital Shoreline Analysis System version 4.3 shoreline intersection points used to calculate short-term (Linear Regression Rate) shoreline change statistics for the South Cape Cod coastal region from Stage Harbor Light in Chatham to Nobska Point in Woods Hole (SouthCapeCod_intersects_STlr.shp)

Due to continued coastal population growth and increased threats of erosion, current data on trends and rates of shoreline movement are required to inform shoreline and floodplain management. The Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management launched the Shoreline Change Project in 1989 to identify erosion-prone areas of the coast. In 2001, a 1994 shoreline was added to calculate both long- and short-term shoreline change rates at 40-meter intervals along ocean-facing sections of the Massachusetts coast.
The Coastal and Marine Geology Program of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management, has compiled reliable historical shoreline data along open-facing sections of the Massachusetts coast under the Massachusetts Shoreline Change Mapping and Analysis Project 2013 Update. Two oceanfront shorelines for Massachusetts (approximately 1,800 km in total length) were (1) delineated using 2008/09 color aerial orthoimagery, and (2) extracted from topographic LIDAR datasets (2007) obtained from NOAA's Ocean Service, Coastal Services Center. The new shorelines were integrated with existing Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management and USGS historical shoreline data in order to compute long- and short-term rates using the latest version of the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS).

Digital data sets that describe aquifer characteristics of the alluvial and terrace deposits along the Cimarron River from Freedom to Guthrie in northwestern Oklahoma

This data set consists of digital polygons of constant hydraulic
conductivity values for the alluvial and terrace deposits along
the Cimarron River from Freedom to Guthrie in northwestern
Oklahoma. Ground water in 1,305 square miles of Quaternary-age
alluvial and terrace deposits along the the Cimarron River from
Freedom to Guthrie is an important source of water for
irrigation, industrial, municipal, stock, and domestic
supplies. Alluvial and terrace deposits are composed of
interfingering lenses of clay, sandy clay, and cross-bedded
poorly sorted sand and gravel. The aquifer is composed of
hydraulically connected alluvial and terrace deposits that
unconformably overlie the Permian-age Formations.
		
The hydraulic-conductivity values for alluvial and terrace
deposits used in this data set were published in a steady-state
ground-water flow modeling report. The aquifer boundaries along
geological contacts were extracted from published digital
geology data sets. Boundaries defining the geographic limits of
the aquifer were digitized from a mylar map, at a scale of
1:250,000. The maps were published at a scale of 1:900,000. The
hydraulic conductivity values are 104.5 feet per day for the
alluvial deposits and 47.5 feet per day for the terrace
deposits.
		
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.

Water-level change, High Plains aquifer, 1995 to 2000

This raster data set represents water-level change in the High Plains aquifer of the United States 
from 1995 to 2000, in feet. The High Plains aquifer underlies 112.6 million acres (176,000 square 
miles) in parts of eight States: Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, 
Texas, and Wyoming. The aquifer's saturated thickness ranges from near zero to about 1,200 feet 
(Weeks and Gutentag, 1981). Water-level declines occurred in parts of the High Plains aquifer soon 
after the onset of substantial irrigation with groundwater (about 1950) (Luckey and others, 1981; 
Gutentag and others, 1984). This data set was generated in a geographic information system from 
water-level-change data from wells measured in 1995 and 2000 and from some additional wells in 
New Mexico, which were measured in 1996, 1997, 2001, and 2002.  For this data set, areas of no 
substantial change were designated as areas where water-level change was between a rise of 1 
foot and a decline of 1 foot; the raster was set to zero in the areas of no substantial change.

Principal aquifers of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands

This is polygon data of shallowest principal aquifers of
Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin Islands, developed as
part of the effort to produce a map published at 1:500,000
in Chapter HA 730-N of the "Ground Water Atlas of the United
States" series of printed publications. See Other_Citation_Details
for publication information. The published map contains base and
cultural features not included in this data. The Ground Water
Atlas publication also includes information that may be relevant
to the use of this data, such as figures showing where an aquifer
may extend beyond the area delineated in this data, but be
overlain by one or more other aquifers and/or low-permeability
material.
			
The areal extent of the aquifers, as shown in this data, represent
the area in which a named aquifer is the shallowest of the
principal aquifers. These aquifer areas are not necessarily the
only area in which ground water can be withdrawn because the
aquifers shown may have a larger areal extent than is represented
here.  
			
The boundaries in this data generally represent an
interpretation of the surface location (outcrop), or near
surface location (shallow subcrop) of the uppermost principal
aquifer for the area. An aquifer may extend beyond the area shown
in this data, but be overlain by one or more other aquifers,
and/or low-permeability material.
			
These aquifer outcrop and shallow subcrop boundaries represent
broad, regional categories and should not be interpreted as site
specific. Comments regarding the names of aquifers, or the
hydrogeologic interpretation of the aquifers can be can be
directed to the USGS Water Resources Division, Office of Ground
Water, Roy Sonenshein, sunshine@usgs.gov, (305) 526-2895.

LANDFIRE Remap Fuel Vegetation Cover (FVC) Micronesia

The LANDFIRE (LF) 2016 Remap (Remap) Fuel Vegetation Cover (FVC) represents a modified pre-disturbance version of the Existing Vegetation Cover (EVC) product from previous LF versions. LF Remap EVC is mapped as continuous estimates of canopy cover for tree, shrub, and herbaceous lifeforms with a potential range from 10% to 100%. To translate continuous EVC values into fuel model assignments, EVC values are binned to correspond with the bins from previous LF versions. FVC leverages fuel transition assignments related to disturbed areas by re-establishing  pre-disturbance vegetation and is developed using the full suite of LF vegetation releases, plus the most recent 10 years of disturbance data. FVC 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.

Sea Turtle Nesting Decision Points and Cross-Shore Beach Profile Data Collected on June 18, 2019, from Melbourne Beach, Florida

On June 18, 2019, surveys were conducted on ‘high-density’ sea turtle nesting areas located on Melbourne Beach, Florida. This dataset, Melbourne_20190618.zip, was collected and processed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (SPCMSC) and includes sea turtle nesting decision point locations (.csv) and cross-shore beach profiles (.xyz) at those locations. Utilizing previously published methods for collecting beach profile data (Henderson and others, 2016; Brown and others, 2018), data were acquired by USGS scientists walking along cross-shore transect lines while carrying a survey backpack that was equipped with a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver and GNSS antenna. The horizontal position data are provided in the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system, Zone 17 North (17N), referenced to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83), and the elevation data are referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88), GEOID12B.

14BIM05_SSS_50cm_WGS84_UTM16N_Tile2: The 0.50-meter sample resolution of the side-scan sonar data collected in 2014 near Breton National Wildlife Refuge, Louisiana. This is tile two of four for this dataset.

As part of the Barrier Island Monitoring Project, scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center conducted nearshore geophysical surveys off Breton and Gosier Islands, Louisiana, in July and August of 2014. To assist the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) with restoration planning efforts, the USGS was tasked with answering fundamental questions about the physical environment of the southern Chandeleur Islands, including the geology, morphology, and oceanography. Baseline data needed to answer these questions was either insufficient or missing in the area.  The USGS conducted a comprehensive geologic investigation in the summer of 2014 by collecting geophysical and sedimentological data.
Breton Island, located at the southern end of the Chandeleur Island chain, Louisiana, was recognized as a natural and globally important nesting sanctuary for several bird species and was established as the Breton National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) in 1904.  The aerial extent of Breton Island has diminished 90% since 1920.  Land loss is attributed to ongoing relative sea-level rise, diminished sediment supply, and storm impacts.  The bird population on Breton Island has also declined over the years, most notably after Hurricane George in 1998 and Hurricane Katrina in 2015, which completely submerged the island.  Despite the decreasing habitable acreage, migratory seabirds continue to return and utilize Breton Island.  To prevent the island from being completely submerged in the future and to protect, stabilize, and provide more nesting and foraging areas for the birding population, the USFWS is proposing a restoration effort to rebuild Breton Island to its pre-Katrina footprint.
This Data Series serves as an archive of processed interferometric-swath, single-beam bathymetry, and side-scan sonar data collected in the nearshore of Breton and Gosier Islands, NWR, Louisiana.  The data were collected during two USGS cruises (USGS Field Activity Numbers 2014-314-FA and 2014-317-FA) in July and August 2014. Geographic Information System data products include a 100 meter-cell-size interpolated bathymetry grid surface, trackline maps, and point data files. Additional files include error analysis maps, Field Activity Collection System logs, and formal Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) metadata.
