Digital Shoreline Analysis System version 4.3 transects and long-term linear regression shoreline change statistics without shorelines from 1970-1979 and 1994 within the Cape Cod Bay coastal region from the Cape Cod Canal in Sandwich to Long Point in Provincetown (CapeCodBay_transects_rates_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) 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).

Streamflow-gain- and streamflow-loss data for streamgages in the Central Valley Hydrologic Model

This digital dataset contains 61 sets of annual streamflow gains and losses between 1961 and 1977 along 
Central Valley surface-water network for the Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM).  The Central Valley 
encompasses an approximate 50,000 square-kilometer region of California. The complex hydrologic system 
of the Central Valley is simulated using the USGS's numerical modeling code MODFLOW-FMP (Schmid 
and others, 2006).  This simulation is referred to here as the CVHM (Faunt, 2009). Utilizing MODFLOW-FMP, 
the CVHM simulates groundwater and surface-water flow, irrigated agriculture, land subsidence, and other key 
processes in the Central Valley on a monthly basis from 1961-2003.  The total active modeled area is 20,334 
square-miles.   The CVHM includes complex surface-water management processes.  The hydrology of the 
present-day Central Valley and the CVHM model are driven by surface-water deliveries and associated 
groundwater pumpage.  The Streamflow Routing Package (SFR1) is linked to MODFLOW-FMP to facilitate 
the simulated conveyance of surface-water deliveries. If surface-water deliveries do not meet the farm-delivery 
requirement, the FMP invokes simulated groundwater pumping to meet the demand.  The surface-water 
network represents a subset of the entire stream network in the valley.  Quantitative observations of streamflow 
gains and losses were available for 57 reaches of 20 major stream systems in the Central Valley for water years 
1961-77 (Mullen and Nady, 1985). These observations were included in parameter estimation process and in the 
model-fit statistics.  The CVHM is the most recent regional-scale model of the Central Valley developed by the U.S. 
Geological Survey (USGS).  The CVHM was developed as part of the USGS Groundwater Resources Program 
(see "Foreword", Chapter A, page iii, for details).

Digital data sets that describe aquifer characteristics of the High Plains aquifer in western Oklahoma

This data set consists of digital polygons of constant hydraulic
conductivity values for the High Plains aquifer in Oklahoma.
This area encompasses the panhandle counties of Cimarron, Texas,
and Beaver, and the western counties of Harper, Ellis, Woodward,
Dewey, and Roger Mills. The High Plains aquifer underlies
approximately 7,000 square miles of Oklahoma and is used
extensively for irrigation. The High Plains aquifer is a
water-table aquifer and consists predominately of the
Tertiary-age Ogallala Formation and overlying Quaternary-age
alluvial and terrace deposits. In some areas the aquifer is
absent and the underlying Triassic, Jurassic, or Cretaceous-age
rocks are exposed at the surface. These rocks are hydraulically
connected with the aquifer in some areas.
The High Plains aquifer is composed of interbedded sand,
siltstone, clay, gravel, thin limestones, and caliche. The
proportion of various lithological materials changes rapidly
from place to place, but poorly sorted sand and gravel
predominate. The rocks are poorly to moderately well cemented by
calcium carbonate.
The High Plains aquifer was divided into three zones with each
zone having an assigned hydraulic conductivity that was used as
input to a ground-water flow model on the High Plains aquifer.
These values are 8.3 feet per day for the west zone, 16.2 feet
per day for the central zone, and 19.3 feet per day for the east
zone.
The polygon boundaries and constant hydraulic conductivity
values were constructed by extracting lines from digital
surficial geology data sets based on a scale of 1:125,000 for
the panhandle counties and 1:250,000 for the western counties.
Some of the lines were digitized from maps in a published
water-level elevation map for 1980.
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.

Potential marine benthic habitat maps were constructed using multibeam echosounder (MBES) bathymetry and backscatter data. The habitats were based on substrate types and documented or "ground truthed" using underwater video images and seafloor samples obtained by the USGS. These maps display various habitat types that range from flat, soft, unconsolidated sediment-covered seafloor to hard, deformed (folded), or highly rugose and differentially eroded bedrock exposures.

150-meter Fledermaus bathymetry grid from U.S. Geological Survey Cruise 02051, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration RB0208, September 24 to 30, 2002 aboard the Ronald H. Brown in the Puerto Rico Trench region (RB2002sd.sd)

In 2002 and 2003, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center (WHCMSC), in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), conducted three exploration cruises (USGS Cruise 02051, NOAA RB0208, September 24 to 30, 2002; USGS Cruise 03008, NOAA RB0303, February 18 to March 7, 2003 and USGS Cruise 03032, NOAA RB0305, August 28 to September 4, 2003). These cruises mapped for the first time the morphology of this entire tectonic plate boundary stretching from the Dominican Republic in the west to the Lesser Antilles in the east, a distance of approximately 700 kilometers (430 miles). Observations from these three exploration cruises, coupled with computer modeling and published Global Positioning System (GPS) results and earthquake focal mechanisms have provided new information that is changing the evaluation of the seismic and tsunami hazard from this plate boundary. The observations collected during these cruises also contributed to the basic understanding of the mechanisms that govern plate tectonics, in this case, the creation of the island of Puerto Rico and the deep trench north of it. Results of the sea floor mapping have been an important component of the study of tsunami and earthquake hazards to the northeastern Caribbean and the U.S. Atlantic coast off the United States.

BackscatterA [8101]--Offshore Pacifica, California

This part of DS 781 presents data for the acoustic-backscatter map of Offshore of Pacifica map area, California. Backscatter data are provided as two separate grids depending on mapping system. The raster data files are included in "BackscatterA_8101_OffshorePacifica.zip," which is accessible from https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/781/OffshorePacifica/data_catalog_OffshorePacifica.html. These data accompany the pamphlet and map sheets of Edwards, B.D., Phillips, E.L., Dartnell, P., Greene, H.G., Bretz, C.K., Kvitek, R.G., Hartwell, S.R., Johnson, S.Y., Cochrane, G.R., Dieter, B.E., Sliter, R.W., Ross, S.L., Golden, N.E., Watt, J.T., Chin, J.L., Erdey, M.D., Krigsman, L.M., Manson, M.W., and Endris, C.A. (S.A. Cochran and B.D. Edwards, eds.), 2014, California State Waters Map Series—Offshore of Pacifica, California: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2014–1260, pamphlet 38 p., 10 sheets, scale 1:24,000, https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20141260.
The acoustic-backscatter map of the Offshore of Pacifica, California was generated from backscatter data collected by Fugro Pelagos and by California State University, Monterey Bay (CSUMB). Mapping was completed between 2005 and 2007, using a combination of 400-kHz Reson 7125 and 244-kHz Reson 8101 multibeam echosounders. Within the final imagery, brighter tones indicate higher backscatter intensity, and darker tones indicate lower backscatter intensity. The intensity represents a complex interaction between the acoustic pulse and the seafloor, as well as characteristics within the shallow subsurface, providing a general indication of seafloor texture and composition. Backscatter intensity depends on the acoustic source level; the frequency used to image the seafloor; the grazing angle; the composition and character of the seafloor, including grain size, water content, bulk density, and seafloor roughness; and some biological cover. Harder and rougher bottom types such as rocky outcrops or coarse sediment typically return stronger intensities (high backscatter, lighter tones), whereas softer bottom types such as fine sediment return weaker intensities (low backscatter, darker tones).

Static Oceanographic Observations made by the USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program at Martha's Vineyard Coastal Observatory, September and October 2011

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) obtained oceanographic measurements as part of the Office of
Naval Research (ONR) Optics Acoustics and Stress In Situ (OASIS) Project.  The objective of this
work is to relate optical and acoustic properties of suspended particles as a function of particle
size, concentration, and vertical distribution near the sea floor. In order to accomplish this
task, a specially modified tripod allows vertical profiling near the sea floor by moving
instruments up and down within 2 meters of the sea floor. The profiling arm was designed and built
by a team of scientists, engineers and technicians from the USGS Woods Hole Coastal and Marine
Science Center (WHCMSC). To accommodate communications and provide power  required for arm movement
and control, the tripod was connected via underwater cable to the Martha's Vineyard Coastal
Observatory (MVCO), operated by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI). In addition to the
instruments on the profiling arm, other instruments were mounted elsewhere on the static portion of
the tripod and nearby on a nearby seafloor platform. The tripod (USGS Mooring 910) and seafloor
platform (911)  were deployed on September 17, 2011 at the MVCO 12-m deep underwater node which is
about 2 kilometers (km) south of Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. Divers assisted in the
deployment and cleaned the acoustic and optical instrument faces on the tripod approximately once a
week until recovery on 23 October, 2011.

Underwater video observations offshore of Burien, Washington

This part of USGS Data Series 935 (Cochrane, 2014) presents observations from underwater video collected in the Offshore of Burien, California, map area, a part of the Southern Salish Sea Habitat Map Series. To validate the interpretations of multibeam sonar data and turn it into geologically and biologically useful information, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) towed a camera sled over specific locations throughout the Seattle map area to collect video and photographic data that would ground truth the seafloor. The ground-truth survey conducted in the Offshore of Burien map area occurred in 2011 on the R/V Karluk (USGS field activities K0109WO, K0111PS) and on the Washington State Department of Fish and Game R/V Molluscan (USGS field activity M0112PS, M0111PS, M0212PS). The underwater camera sled was towed 1 to 2 m above the seafloor at speeds of between 1 and 2 nautical miles/hour. The surveys for this map area include approximately 6 hours (9.1 trackline km) of video.
