MODFLOW-2000 model used to evaluate alternative withdrawal strategies on groundwater flow in the unconfined Kirkwood-Cohansey aquifer system, the Rio Grande water-bearing zone, and the Atlantic City 800-foot sand in the Great Egg Harbor and Mullica River Basins, New Jersey

A three-dimensional groundwater-flow model (MODFLOW-2000 ) of the 
Kirkwood-Cohansey aquifer system, Rio Grande water-bearing zone, 
and Atlantic City 800-foot sand in the Great Egg Harbor and Mullica 
River Basins, N.J. was developed to simulate the effects of withdrawals 
on streamflow and groundwater supply.  Increasing groundwater 
withdrawals from the unconfined Kirkwood Cohansey aquifer system is 
a major concern because of the potential for streamflow depletion and 
the resulting ecological effects on aquatic habitats, wetlands, and vernal 
ponds. In the confined Atlantic City 800-foot sand aquifer water levels 
have been steadily declining and most of the groundwater withdrawn 
from the Atlantic City 800-foot sand ultimately comes from the Kirkwood
-Cohansey aquifer system. The groundwater flow model was used to 
simulate scenarios under three possible conditions: average 1998 to 
2006 withdrawals (Average scenario), full-allocation withdrawals (Full 
Allocation scenario), and projected 2050-demand withdrawals (2050 
Demand scenario). Three adjusted scenarios, variations of the Average, 
Full Allocation, and 2050 Demand scenarios, were simulated where 
withdrawals were modified in stages with the intent to successively 
eliminate or minimize the base-flow deficits. Monthly base-flow depletion 
criteria were determined using the NJDEP Low-Flow Margin method to 
estimate available water on an annual basis and if water-supply deficits 
exist. The model simulates monthly stress periods from 1998 through 
2006.  An existing regional model of the New Jersey Coastal Plain was 
revised to provide boundary conditions for the Great Egg Harbor and 
Mullica River Basin model (GEM). This USGS data release contains all 
of the input and output files for the simulations described in the associated 
model documentation report (http://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2012/5187/).

Shorelines Extracted from 1984-2015 Landsat Imagery: Ship Island, Mississippi (Polygon: Combined Dates)

Shorelines Extracted from 1984-2015 Landsat Imagery:  Ship Island, Mississippi (Polygon: Combined Dates) is a polygon shapefile representing shorelines generated from satellite imagery that was collected from 1984 to 2015.  The sample frequency of satellite imagery is much higher, and the coverage much greater, than most routine high-resolution topographic surveys.  Certain aspects of barrier island morphology, such as island size, shape and position, can be determined from these images and can indicate erosion, land loss, and island breakup.  Studying how these characteristics evolve will help develop an understanding of how barrier islands will respond to climate change, sea level rise, and major storms in the future and that will serve to improve management of coastal resources.

Composite sidescan-sonar mosaic collected by the U.S. Geological Survey offshore of Massachusetts between Duxbury and Hull (DH_USGS_backscatter1m, UTM Zone 19N, GeoTIFF)

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 Science Center (WHSC). 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 (5-30 m deep) of Massachusetts between the New Hampshire border and Cape Cod Bay. Data collected for the mapping cooperative have been released in a series of USGS Open-File Reports (http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/project-pages/coastal_mass/). This spatial dataset is from the study area located between Duxbury and Hull Massachusetts, and consists of high-resolution geophysics (bathymetry, backscatter intensity, and seismic reflection) and ground validation (sediment samples, video tracklines and bottom photographs). The data were collected during four separate surveys conducted between 2003 and 2007 (NOAA survey H10993 in 2003, USGS-WHSC survey 06012 in 2006, and USGS-WHSC surveys 07001 and 07003 in 2007) and cover more than 200 square kilometers of the inner continental shelf.

Lidar-Derived Bare-Earth XYZ for EAARL Coastal Topography—Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, Pre-Hurricane Isabel, 2003

ASCII XYZ data for Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, were produced from remotely sensed, geographically referenced elevation measurements collected pre-Hurricane Isabel on September 16, 2003 by the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Elevation measurements were collected over the area using the first-generation Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar (EAARL-A), a pulsed laser ranging system mounted onboard an aircraft to measure ground elevation, vegetation canopy, and coastal topography. The system uses high-frequency laser beams directed at the Earth's surface through an opening in the bottom of the aircraft's fuselage. The laser system records the time difference between emission of the laser beam and the reception of the reflected laser signal in the aircraft. The plane travels over the target area at approximately 55 meters per second at an elevation of approximately 300 meters, resulting in a laser swath of approximately 240 meters. More than 100 kilometers of coastline can be surveyed easily within a 3- to 4-hour mission. When resultant elevation maps for an area are analyzed, they provide a useful tool to make management decisions regarding land development.

Aerial photo mosaic of the Wilson and Kilchis Rivers, Tillamook basin, Oregon in 1939

The Tillamook Bay subbasins and Nehalem River basins encompass 1,369 and 2,207 respective 
square kilometers of northwestern Oregon and drain to the Pacific Ocean. The Tillamook, Trask, 
Wilson, Kilchis, and Miami Rivers flow into Tillamook Bay near the towns of Tillamook and Garibaldi. 
The Wilson and Trask River basins cover the largest areas (500 and 451 square kilometers, 
respectively) whereas the Tillamook and Kilchis Rivers encompass similar sized areas (156 and 
169 square kilometers, respectively) and the Miami River the smallest area (94 square kilometers). 
In cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Geological Survey completed a 
reconnaissance-level assessment of channel condition and bed-material transport relevant to the 
permitting of in-stream gravel extraction along the the major alluvial portions of six river systems, 
including the lowermost 14.1 km of the Tillamook River, 16.3 km of the Trask River, 15.2 km of the 
Wilson River, 7.8 km of the Kilchis River, 11.6 km of the Miami River, and 31.4 km of the Nehalem 
River. To support these analyses, digital channel maps were produced to depict channel and 
floodplain conditions in the Tillamook Bay sub-basins and Nehalem River basin from different time 
periods. GIS layers defining the wetted channel and bar features and channel centerline in the study 
area were developed for four time periods: 1939, 1967, 2005, and 2009. For this project, the active 
channel was defined as area typically inundated during annual high flows, and includes the low-flow 
channel as well as side channels, islands, and channel-flanking gravel bars. The wetted channel and 
bar feature datasets were developed by digitizing from aerial photographs. Aerial photographs from 
1939 and 1967 were scanned, rectified, and mosaicked for this project (See metadata for each 
photograph set for more information on the rectification process and resolution of each dataset). 
Digital orthophotographs from 2005 and 2009 are publicly available.

EAARL Coastal Topography--Assateague Island National Seashore, 2008: First Surface

A first-surface elevation map (also known as a Digital Elevation Model, or DEM) of the Assateague Island National Seashore in Virginia and Maryland was produced from remotely sensed, geographically referenced elevation measurements cooperatively by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the National Park Service (NPS), and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Elevation measurements were collected over the area using the NASA Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar (EAARL), a pulsed laser ranging system mounted onboard an aircraft to measure ground elevation, vegetation canopy, and coastal topography. The system uses high frequency laser beams directed at the Earth's surface through an opening in the bottom of the aircraft's fuselage. The laser system records the time difference between emission of the laser beam and the reception of the reflected laser signal in the aircraft. The plane travels over the target area at approximately 50 meters per second at an elevation of approximately 300 meters. The EAARL, developed by NASA at Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, measures ground elevation with a vertical resolution of +/-15 centimeters. A sampling rate of 3 kilohertz or higher results in an extremely dense spatial elevation dataset. Over 100 kilometers of coastline can be surveyed easily within a 3- to 4-hour mission. When subsequent elevation maps for an area are analyzed, they provide a useful tool to make management decisions regarding land development.

Location of sea floor video tracklines along with videos collected in 2014 by the U.S. Geological Survey offshore of Fire Island, NY (MP4 videos files and Esri polyline shapefile, Geographic, WGS 84)

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted a geophysical and sampling survey in October 2014 that focused on a series of shoreface-attached ridges offshore of western Fire Island, NY. Seismic-reflection data, surficial grab samples and bottom photographs and video were collected along the lower shoreface and inner continental shelf. The purpose of this survey was to assess the impact of Hurricane Sandy on this coastal region. These data were compared to seismic-reflection and surficial sediment data collected by the USGS in the same area in 2011 to evaluate any post-storm changes in seabed morphology and modern sediment thickness on the inner continental shelf.
