LANDFIRE 2016 Remap Fuel Vegetation Height (FVH) AK 2020 Capable Fuels

The LANDFIRE (LF) 2016 Remap Fuel Vegetation Height (FVH) represents a modified pre-disturbance version of the Existing Vegetation Height (EVH) product from previous LF versions. LF Remap EVH is mapped as continuous estimates of canopy height for tree, shrub, and herbaceous lifeforms with a potential range from 0m to 50m or more. To translate continuous EVH values into fuel model assignments, EVH values are binned to new groups to improve canopy fuel predictions. FVH leverages fuel transition assignments related to disturbed areas by re-establishing pre-disturbance vegetation and was developed using the full suite of LF vegetation releases and the most recent 10 years of disturbance data. FVH 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. This new process considers all the existing disturbances included in LF Remap and adjusts the TSD for these to the effective year (2020 in this example), making the products "2020 capable fuels." More information about capable fuels can be found at https://www.landfire.gov/lf_remap.php.

Seismic-Reflection Profiles in SEG-Y Format From Western Rhode Island Sound (1980)

During 1980, a Uniboom seismic-reflection survey was conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in western Rhode Island Sound aboard the Research Vessel NeechoThe cruise consisted fo 2 legs and had a total of 8 survey days. Data from this survey were recorded in analog form and archived at the USGS. As a result of recent interest in the geology of Rhode Island Sound and in an effort to make the data more readily accessible while preserving the original paper records, the seismic data from this cruise were scanned and converted to TIFF images and SEG-Y data files. In order to scan the lines, some of the paper records were cut and scanned in sections. These sections are labeled with lower-case letters and differ from the names of lines in the logbook. Some SEG-Y files were further divided in order for each file to contain continuous data collected at the same ship speed; these line segments have been labeled _1, _2, or _3 after the section label. Navigation data were converted from LORAN-C time delays to latitudes and longitudes that are available in ESRI shapefile format and as eastings and northings in space-delimited text format.

Digital data sets that describe aquifer characteristics of the Rush Springs aquifer in western Oklahoma

This data set consists of digitized polygons of constant
hydraulic conductivity values for the Rush Springs aquifer in
western Oklahoma. This area encompasses all or part of
Blaine, Caddo, Canadian, Comanche, Custer, Dewey, Grady,
Stephens, and Washita Counties. For the purposes of modeling
the ground-water flow in the Rush Springs aquifer, Mark F.
Becker (U.S. Geological Survey, written commun., 1997)
defined the Rush Springs aquifer to include the Rush Springs
Formation, alluvial and terrace deposits along major streams,
and parts of the Marlow Formations, particularly in the
eastern part of the aquifer boundary area.
The Permian-age Rush Springs Formation consists of highly
cross-bedded sandstone with some interbedded dolomite and
gypsum. The Rush Springs Formation is overlain by
Quaternary-age alluvial and terrace deposits that consist of
unconsolidated clay, silt, sand, and gravel. The Rush Springs
Formation is underlain by the Permian-age Marlow Formation
that consists of interbedded sandstones, siltstones,
mudstones, gypsum-anhydrite, and dolomite beds (Mark F.
Becker, written commun., 1997). The parts of the Marlow
Formation that have high permeability and porosity are where
the Marlow Formation is included as part of the Rush Springs
aquifer.
The Rush Springs aquifer underlies about 2,400 square miles
of western Oklahoma and is an important source of water for
irrigation, livestock, industrial, municipal, and domestic
use. Irrigation wells are reported to have well yields
greater than 1,000 gallons per minute (Mark F. Becker,
written commun., 1997).
The hydraulic conductivity values used by Mark F. Becker
(written commun., 1997) to simulate the ground-water flow in
the Rush Springs aquifer are 0.8, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0, and 10.0
feet per day. The hydraulic conductivity values are based on
specific capacity data and aquifer tests. Mark F. Becker
created some of the hydraulic conductivity data set by
digitizing parts of previously published surficial geology
maps.
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.

HW1_Q24.TIF - Hawaii I - Southeastern Hawaiian Ridge U.S. EEZ GLORIA sidescan-sonar data mosaic (24 of 29) (LCC, 50 m, WGS84)

Survey of the southeastern Hawaiian Ridge was the fifth major segment of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) mapping program to have been initiated. Data acquisition for this region required approximately one-half year and were acquired during eight cruises over a four year period from 1986 through 1989, skipping 1987. At the conclusion of the survey 29 mosaics of a 2 degree by 2 degree were completed for the region. As in earlier EEZ reconnaissance surveys, the USGS utilized the GLORIA (Geological LOng-Range Inclined Asdic) sidescan-sonar system to complete the geologic mapping. The collected GLORIA data were processed and digitally mosaicked to produce continuous imagery of the seafloor. A total of twenty-seven digital mosaics of a 2 degree by 2 degree area and 2 mosaics of 2.25 degree by 2 degree with a 50-meter pixel resolution were completed for the region.

Barnegat Bay surface and subsurface sediment physical parameters data from May 2014 (U.S. Geological Survey Field Activity Number 2014-310-FA)

Barnegat Bay, located along the eastern shore of New Jersey, was significantly impacted by Hurricane Sandy in October 2012. Scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) developed a multidisciplinary study of sediment transport and hydrodynamics to understand the mechanisms that govern estuarine and wetland responses to storm forcing.  This report details the physical and chemical characteristics of surficial and downcore sediments from two areas within the bay. Eleven sites were sampled in both the central portion of the bay near Barnegat Inlet and in the southern portion of the bay in Little Egg Harbor. Laboratory analyses include Be-7, Pb-210, bulk density, porosity, x-radiographs, and grain-size distribution. These data will serve as a critical baseline dataset for understanding the current sedimentological regime and can be applied to future storms for understanding estuarine and wetland evolution.This report serves as an archive for sedimentological and radiochemical data derived from the surface sediments and box cores. Downloadable data are available as Excel spreadsheets, PDF files, and JPEG files, and includes sediment core data plots and x-radiographs, as well as, physical-properties, grain-size, alpha-spectoscopy, and gamma-spectroscopy data. Federal Geographic Data Committee metadata are available for analytical datasets in the data downloads page of this report.

Elevation of the late-Wisconsinan regressive unconformity beneath the Massachusetts inner continental shelf between Nahant and Northern Cape Cod Bay (urelev Esri binary grid; UTM, Zone 19N, WGS 84)

These data are qualitatively derived interpretive polygon shapefiles and selected source raster data defining surficial geology, sediment type and distribution, and physiographic zones of the sea floor from Nahant to Northern Cape Cod Bay. Much of the geophysical data used to create the interpretive layers were collected under a cooperative agreement among the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (CZM), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Coastal and Marine Geology Program, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). 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 seafloor geology are important first steps toward protecting fish habitat, delineating marine resources, and assessing environmental changes because of natural or human effects. The project is focused on the inshore waters of coastal Massachusetts. Data collected during the mapping cooperative involving the USGS have been released in a series of USGS Open-File Reports (http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/project-pages/coastal_mass/html/current_map.html). The interpretations released in this study are for an area extending from the southern tip of Nahant to Northern Cape Cod Bay, Massachusetts. A combination of geophysical and sample data including high resolution bathymetry and lidar, acoustic-backscatter intensity, seismic-reflection profiles, bottom photographs, and sediment samples are used to create the data interpretations. Most of the nearshore geophysical and sample data (including the bottom photographs) were collected during several cruises between 2000 and 2008. More information about the cruises and the data collected can be found at the Geologic Mapping of the Seafloor Offshore of Massachusetts Web page: http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/project-pages/coastal_mass/.

Digital Shoreline Analysis System version 4.1 Transects with Short-Term Rate Calculations for the New Jersey North region from Sandy Hook to Little Egg Inlet, New Jersey (NewJerseyN_ST.shp)

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.
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.

Hydrodynamic and Sediment Transport Model Application for OSAT3 Guidance:  wave direction

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.
