Digital Shoreline Analysis System version 4.3 shoreline intersection points used to calculate long-term shoreline change statistics excluding the 1970-1979 and 1994 shorelines for the North Shore coastal region from North Salisbury at the New Hampshire border to the west side of Deer Island in Boston harbor (NorthShore_intersects_LTwo.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).

Species List and Federally-listed Status of Native Plant Species Used in Spatial Prioritization for Lanai Island, 2021

Broadly, recovery of threatened and endangered species requires specific management actions by natural resource managers at a fine scale. We used a systematic conservation planning framework to outline conservation goals across multiple land-uses, including native habitat protection and identifying endangered species-specific recovery areas while minimizing intrusion on existing hunting areas on the island of Lanai. We used spatial prioritization tools to generate multiple scenarios where both conservation and hunting areas (deemed zones for analysis purposes) were delineated to meet land-use goals. These delineated areas will help land managers to minimize conflicts between uses for populations of non-native game animals and the conservation and restoration of native plant species in climate resilient areas.
This dataset includes one data table (.csv):  a list of the plant species included in the analysis, and their listed federal status.

Geodatabase of the datasets used to represent the six subunits of the Texas Coastal Uplands and Mississippi Embayment aquifer system, Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee, and Texas

This geodatabase includes spatial datasets that represent the Texas Coastal Uplands and 
Mississippi Embayment aquifer system in the States of Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, 
Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee, and Texas. Included are: (1) polygon extents; 
datasets that represent the aquifer system extent, the entire extent subdivided into subareas 
or subunits, and any polygon extents of special interest (outcrop areas, no data available, 
areas underlying other aquifers, anomalies, for example), (2) raster datasets for the altitude 
of each aquifer subarea or subunit, (3) altitude, and/or if applicable, thickness contours used 
to generate the surface rasters, (4) georeferenced images of the figures that were digitized 
to create the altitude and thickness contours. The images and digitized contours are supplied 
for reference.
			
The extent of the Texas Coastal Uplands and Mississippi Embayment aquifer system is derived 
from the linework in the aquifer system extent maps in U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 
1416-B (USGS PP 1416-B), plates 11, 13, 15, 16, and 17, and from a digital version of the aquifer 
extents presented in the U.S. Geological Survey Hydrologic Atlas 730, Chapters E and F. 
			
The Texas Coastal Uplands and Mississippi Embayment aquifer system has 6 aquifer subunits, 
in order from the most surficial to the deepest: A1: Upper Claiborne aquifer, A2: Middle Claiborne 
aquifer, A3: Lower Claiborne- Upper Wilcox aquifer, A4: Middle Wilcox aquifer, A5: Lower Wilcox 
aquifer, A6: McNairy-Nacatoch aquifer. 
			
The altitude and thickness contours for each available subunit were digitized from georeferenced 
figures of altitude contours in USGS PP 1416-B, and the resultant top and bottom altitude values 
were interpolated into surface rasters within a GIS using tools that create hydrologically correct 
surfaces from contour data, derives the altitude from the thickness (depth from the land surface), 
and merges the subareas into a single surface. The primary tool was an enhanced version of 
"Topo to Raster" used in ArcGIS, ArcMap, Esri 2014. The raster surfaces were corrected for 
the areas where the altitude of an underlying layer of the aquifer exceeded altitude of an overlying 
layer.

Mobile Harbor Navigation Channel Delft3D Model Inputs and Results - With-Project Condition 2010 Simulation Without Sea Level Rise

The numerical model Delft3D (developed by Deltares) was developed to evaluate the potential effects of proposed navigation channel deepening and widening in Mobile Harbor, Alabama (AL). The Delft3D model setup requires the input of a merged topographic and bathymetric elevations, a wave climate based on significant wave heights, peak wave period and mean wave direction, and a tidal-time series. The model was validated by comparing model outputs from deterministic runs with observations of water levels and velocities. The validated model was used to simulate scenarios of existing conditions and proposed with-project conditions (for example, channel deepening and widening). Simulations were performed for one year (the year 2010) and ten years, with and without 0.5 meters (m) of sea level rise. Model inputs and outputs in the form of topography and bathymetry for the scenario runs as well as output water levels and velocities for the deterministic runs are provided in this data release. For further information regarding model input generation and visualization of model output topography and bathymetry, refer to USGS Open-File Report 2018-1123.

2 meter unenhanced GeoTIFF Sidescan-Sonar Mosaic East of Virgin Basin - Lake Mead, Nevada (TEMPICE_UNGEOG.TIF , geographic)

Lake Mead is a large interstate reservoir located in the Mojave Desert of southeastern Nevada and northwestern Arizona.  It was impounded in 1935 by the construction of Hoover Dam and is one of a series of multi-purpose reservoirs on the Colorado River.  The lake extends 183 km from the mouth of the Grand Canyon to Black Canyon, the site of Hoover Dam, and provides water for residential, commercial, industrial, recreational, and other non-agricultural users in communities across the southwestern United States.  Extensive research has been conducted on Lake Mead, but a majority of the studies have involved determining levels of anthropogenic contaminants such as synthetic organic compounds, heavy metals and dissolved ions, furans/dioxins, and nutrient loading in lake water, sediment, and biota (Preissler, et al., 1998; Bevans et al, 1996; Bevans et al., 1998; Covay and Leiker, 1998; LaBounty and Horn, 1997; Paulson, 1981).  By contrast, little work has focused on the sediments in the lake and the processes of deposition (Gould, 1951).  To address these questions, sidescan-sonar imagery and high-resolution seismic-reflection profiles were collected throughout Lake Mead by the USGS in cooperation with researchers from University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV).  These data allow a detailed mapping of the surficial geology and the distribution and thickness of sediment that has accumulated in the lake since the completion of Hoover Dam.  Results indicate that the accumulation of post-impoundment sediment is primarily restricted to former river and stream beds that are now submerged below the lake while the margins of the lake appear to be devoid of post-impoundment sediment.  The sediment cover along the original Colorado River bed is continuous and is typically greater than 10 m thick through much of its length.  Sediment thickness in some areas exceeds 35 m while the smaller tributary valleys typically are filled with less than 4 m of sediment.  Away from the river beds that are now covered with post-impoundment sediment, pre-impoundment alluvial deposits and rock outcrops are still exposed on the lake floor.

Baseline coastal oblique aerial photographs collected from the Harney River, Everglades National Park, Florida to Anclote Key, Florida, November 14, 2006

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducts baseline and storm-response photography missions to document and understand the changes in the vulnerability of the Nation's coasts to extreme storms. On November 14, 2006, the USGS conducted an oblique aerial photographic survey from the Harney River, Everglades National Park, Florida to Anclote Key, Florida, aboard a U.S. Coast Guard HH60 Helicopter aircraft at an altitude of 500 feet (ft) and approximately 1,200 ft offshore. This mission was conducted to collect data for assessing incremental changes in the beach and nearshore area since the last survey, which was flown in October 2005 (https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=05CCH05), and the data can be used to assess future coastal change. The photographs provided are Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) images. The photograph locations are an estimate of the aircraft's position and do not indicate the location of the features in the images. These photographs document the configuration of the barrier islands and other coastal features at the time of the survey. ExifTool (version 4.0) was used to add the following to the header of each photograph: time of collection, GPS latitude, GPS longitude, keywords, credit, artist (photographer), caption, copyright, and contact information. Photographs can be opened with any JPEG-compatible image viewer. All image times are recorded in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
