Missouri River bed elevations near Omaha Public Power District transmission tower surveyed during 2011 flood on June, 21

A RESON SeaBat™ 7125 multibeam echosounder in conjunction with an Applanix Position Orientation Solution for Marine 
Vessels (POS MV™) WaveMaster system motion sensor, HYPACK®/HYSWEEP® navigation software, and Ashtech Z-Xtreme 
GPS receivers or Trimble R8 receivers was used to survey the Missouri River bed at 15 pipeline crossings at four different 
locations, at three power plant locations, and at one transmission tower during the 2011 flood event.  The format of this data 
is a grid with each cell covering 0.5 meter by 0.5 meter.  The elevation value (North American Vertical Datum, NAVD88) 
represented by each cell is the most probable elevation for that cell based on calculated Total Propagated Uncertainty (TPU) 
as calculated in Caris HIPS and SIPS software.  Calculated TPS values are then used by Caris to create a Combined 
Uncertainty and Bathymetric Estimator (CUBE) surface.  The surface grid was used to export the cell centroid position 
(Northing, Easting in UTM zone 14 North, in meters) along with the cell elevation (referenced to NAVD88, in meters) to 
create the text file.  The data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Environmental Protection 
Agency (EPA) and the Omaha Public Power District (OPPD).

Hydrogeologic Provinces for California based upon established groundwater basins and watershed polygons.

Ten hydrogeologic provinces of California are represented by a region-
class feature called "provinces" within this digital data set.  These
provinces were identified and defined in the USGS Water Resource
Investigation Report (WRIR) 03-4166 (Belitz and others, 2003) titled,
"Framework for a Ground-water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Plan for
California". Hydrogeologic provinces are generalized areas where hydrology
and/or geology have similar characteristics.  The Southern Cal Islands
group was not previously defined as a province in WRIR 03-4166, and is
therefore identified as a group in this dataset.
		
These provinces were created by grouping polygons from two formally created
digital data sets into respective provinces. New polygons were created
where necessary. The two digital data set sources consisted of watershed
polygons (calwater) and groundwater basin polygons (gw_basins) compiled to
create an original publication of hydrogeologic province boundaries in the
form of a region-class within the data set.  By symbolizing on the region-
class, the user can view the ten hydrogeologic provinces and one grouped
province in their simplest representation, without watershed and ground-
water basin boundaries obscuring the province areas.
		
Original polygons for both the watershed data set and the ground-water basin
data set were retained as much as possible.

Topographic, aerial imagery, and unoccupied aerial vehicle (UAV) data for an aeolian dune field near Lees Ferry, AZ

These data were compiled for assessing how geomorphic changes measured as topographic differences from repeat surveys represent measured and modelled estimates of aeolian sediment transport and dune mobility. Objective(s) of our study were to investigate whether topographic changes can serve as a proxy for aeolian transport and sediment mobility in dunefield environments. This was accomplished by relating topographic changes to modeled and observed estimates of sediment transport and dune mobility over months to decades within a partially vegetated dunefield starved of upwind sediment supplies. We specifically tested if topographic changes measured as net and total volume changes and topographic surface roughness differences provide evidence for intra-annual differences and decadal changes in sediment mobility for dune sand that is either currently bare, vegetated, or biocrust-covered. Lastly, these data were used as a framework for interpreting how aeolian transport and sediment mobility has changed for current land cover types over the preceding four decades. These data represent monthly topographic surveys and in-field sediment transport data collected between February 13, 2020 and December 16, 2020, piloted aerial imagery collected in 1984, 2002, 2009, 2013, and 2021, unoccupied aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery collected in March 2021, classification of land cover, and tabular summaries of topographic changes derived from these datasets. These data were collected between 1984 and 2021 within a small aeolian dunefield near the confluence of the Paria and Colorado Rivers, upstream of Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona. These data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey. These data can be used to 1) to evaluate how dune surfaces with bare sand, sand with vegetated cover, and sand with biological soil crust cover (biocrust) change on a monthly time scale with differences in wind strength and 2) assess how the dunefield surface changed with vegetation loss and expansion over almost 4 decades. Additionally, these data could be used to assess detailed changes in landscape cover over monthly and decadal time scales.

Mauna Loa 2022 summit and Northeast Rift Zone eruption — December 4, 2022 lava flow orthomosaic

In the late evening of November 27, 2022, an effusive eruption began inside Moku'aweoweo caldera at the summit of Mauna Loa volcano. Within a few hours, lava had covered most of the caldera floor, and several fissures just outside caldera sent short lava flows up to 3 kilometers (2 miles) to the southwest. Later in the morning of November 28, summit effusion ceased and the eruption moved into the volcano's Northeast Rift Zone. Several rift zone fissures were initially active, but by November 30 effusion had focused at a vent known as fissure 3. For another 10 days, fissure 3 fountained and fed lava flows that eventually stretched 18 kilometers (11 miles) to the north, threatening but not reaching the Daniel K. Inouye Highway across the island's interior. Effusion from fissure 3 began declining overnight December 7–8 and ceased on December 10, by which time the eruption had covered approximately 36 square kilometers (14 square miles) of Mauna Loa with new lava. In this report, the authors have sought to chronicle this sequence of events using geospatial data in the form of an Esri file geodatabase, Esri shapefiles, and Google Earth KMZs, as well as rapid-response orthomosaic and thermal map rasters.

2-m Bathymetric Grid of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Survey H11251 Offshore of Rocky Point, New York (H11251_2M_UTM, UTM Zone 18, NAD83)

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 and sidescan-sonar imagery, originally collected by NOAA for charting purposes, provides a fundamental framework for research and management activities in Long Island Sound, shows the composition and terrain of the seabed, and provides information on sediment transport and benthic habitat. During October 2008 NOAA completed hydrographic survey H11251 offshore of Rocky Point, New York and during November 2009, bottom photographs and surficial sediment data were acquired as part of a ground-truth reconnaissance survey of this area. Interpretive data layers were derived from the multibeam echo-sounder and sidescan-sonar data and the ground-truth data used to verify them. For more information on the ground-truth survey see http://quashnet.er.usgs.gov/data/2009/09059/

Location of sound velocity profiles collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in the St. Clair River between Michigan and Ontario, Canada, 2008 (ESRI VECTOR SHAPEFILE, SVP.SHP).

In 2008, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center (WHCMSC), in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers conducted a geophysical and sampling survey of the riverbed of the Upper St. Clair River between Port Huron, MI, and Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. The objectives were to define the Quaternary geologic framework of the St. Clair River to evaluate the relationship between morphologic change of the riverbed and underlying stratigraphy. This report presents the geophysical and sample data collected from the St. Clair River, May 29-June 6, 2008 as part of the International Upper Great Lakes Study, a 5-year project funded by the International Joint Commission of the United States and Canada to examine whether physical changes in the St. Clair River are affecting water levels within the upper Great Lakes, to assess regulation plans for outflows from Lake Superior, and to examine the potential effect of climate change on the Great Lakes water levels ( http://www.iugls.org). This document makes available the data that were used in a separate report, U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2009-1137, which detailed the interpretations of the Quaternary geologic framework of the region. This report includes a description of the suite of high-resolution acoustic and sediment-sampling systems that were used to map the morphology, surficial sediment distribution, and underlying geology of the Upper St. Clair River during USGS field activity 2008-016-FA . Video and photographs of the riverbed were also collected and are included in this data release. Future analyses will be focused on substrate erosion and its effects on river-channel morphology and geometry. Ultimately, the International Upper Great Lakes Study will attempt to determine where physical changes in the St. Clair River affect water flow and, subsequently, water levels in the Upper Great Lakes.

5 meter ArcRaster grid of bathymetry acquired using a SEA Ltd. SWATHplus interferometric sonar offshore of Massachusetts within northern Cape Cod Bay (CCB_BATH_5m Esri BINARY GRID, UTM 19N).

These data were collected under a cooperative agreement with the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (CZM) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Coastal and Marine Geology Program, Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center (WHCMSC). Initiated in 2003, the primary objective of this program is to develop regional geologic framework information for the management of coastal and marine resources. Accurate data and maps of sea-floor geology are important first steps toward protecting fish habitat, delineating marine resources, and assessing environmental changes due to natural or human impacts. The project is focused on the inshore waters of coastal Massachusetts, primarily in water depths of 3-30 meters deep. Data collected for the mapping cooperative have been released in a series of USGS Open-File Reports (http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/project-pages/). The data collected in the study area located in northern Cape Cod Bay Massachusetts includes high-resolution geophysics (bathymetry, backscatter intensity, and seismic reflection), and ground validation (sediment samples, video tracklines, and bottom photographs). The data were collected during five separate surveys conducted between 2006 and 2008 and cover 480 square kilometers of the inner continental shelf.

Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2005, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2018, and 2021 Site 3617 land-water matrix

Wetland restoration efforts conducted by the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in Louisiana rely on monitoring to determine the efficacy of these projects. The Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) was developed to assist in a multiple-reference approach that uses aspects of hydrogeomorphic functional assessments and probabilistic sampling for monitoring. The CRMS program includes a suite of approximately 390 sites that encompass the range of hydrological and ecological conditions for each stratum. As part of CRMS, land and water classifications are created from Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quadrangles (DOQQs) approximately every three years at all CRMS sites. This dataset consists of a matrix of six land-water products (2005, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2018, and 2021).  The resulting matrix has 64 possible classes defined by the combination of land and water categories on those six dates.
