Channel centerline for the Coquille River, Oregon in 2005

The Coquille River system is an unregulated system that encompasses 2,745 square kilometers of southwestern 
Oregon and flows into the Pacific Ocean near the town of Bandon, Oregon. Beginning in the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest, 
the South Fork Coquille River gains the Middle Fork Coquille River (drainage area 798 square kilometers) and shortly thereafter the 
North Fork Coquille River (749 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 South Fork Coquille River from river kilometer (RKM) 115.4 near its confluence with Upper Land Creek 
to RKM 58.5 at its confluence with the North Fork Coquille River, the mainstem Coquille River from RKM 58.5 at the confluence of the 
South and North Forks of the Coquille River to its mouth, the Middle Fork Coquille River from RKM 15.4 to its confluence with the 
South Fork Coquille River, and the North Fork Coquille River from RKM 14.6 to its confluence with the South Fork Coquille River. To 
support these analyses, digital channel maps were produced to depict channel and floodplain conditions in the Coquille River basin 
from different time periods. GIS layers defining the wetted channel and bar features and channel centerline of Hunter Creek 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.

Single-Beam Bathymetry Data Collected in 2022 from Point Aux Chenes Bay, Mississippi

Scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (USGS – SPCSMC), conducted a single-beam bathymetry survey within Point Aux Chenes Bay, Mississippi (MS), in June 2022 under the USGS Field Activity Number (FAN) 2022-320-FA. The data was collected from two personal watercrafts (PWC): research vessel (R/V) Shark (subFAN 22CCT09, WVR1) and R/V Chum (subFAN 22CCT10, WVR2). A re-survey of just the north and south subtidal reefs occurred in November 2022 (subFANs 22CCT11 and 22CCT12, respectively). Efforts were supported by the Coastal Marine Hazards Research Preogram (CMHRP) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) Effects of Sea Level Rise (ESLR) Program in partnership with Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve and Mississippi State University. The processed point data files (xyz) are released in two datums, the World Geodetic System of 1984 (WGS84 G2139) ellipsoid height referenced to the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) Zone 16 North (N); and the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83 (2011)), North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) orthometric height with respect to GEOID12A. Additional data products include a single-beam trackline shapefile (.shp), a 10-meter (m) cell-size digital elevation model (DEM). and formal Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) metadata. For consistency and comparison, the shoreline derivation method from Terrano and others (2021) utilized to derive the 2021 shoreline was replicated to derive the 2022 shoreline. Similarly, methods from Stalk and others (2021) utilized to create the 2021 10-meter DEM were replicated to create the 2022 10-m DEM included in this data release.

2010 Alabama and Florida USACE Lidar-Derived Dune Crest, Toe and Shoreline

The Storm-Induced Coastal Change Hazards component of the National Assessment of Coastal Change Hazards project focuses on understanding the magnitude and variability of extreme storm impacts on sandy beaches. Lidar-derived beach morphologic features such as dune crest, toe and shoreline help define the vulnerability of the beach to storm impacts. This dataset defines the elevation and position of the seaward-most dune crest and toe and the mean high water shoreline derived from the 2010 Alabama and Florida U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) lidar survey. Beach width is included and is defined as the distance between the dune toe and shoreline along a cross-shore profile. The beach slope is calculated using this beach width and the elevation of the shoreline and dune toe.

Navigation and environmental data from R/V Weatherbird II for the West Florida Shelf: USGS Cruise 11CEV01

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) is conducting a study on the effects of climate change on ocean acidification within the Gulf of Mexico; dealing specifically with the effect of ocean acidification on marine organisms and habitats. To investigate this, the USGS participated in cruises in the West Florida Shelf and northern Gulf of Mexico regions aboard the R/V Weatherbird II, a ship of opportunity lead by Dr. Kendra Daly, of the University of South Florida (USF). This cruise occurred January 3-7, 2011, leaving from and returned to Saint Petersburg, Florida. The USGS collected data pertaining to pH, dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), and total alkalinity in discrete samples. Thirty-six underway discrete samples in January were collected approximately hourly over a span of 745.3 km Flow-through conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) data were collected, which includes temperature, salinity, and pH. Corroborating the USGS data are the vertical CTD profiles collected by USF, using the following sensors: CTD, oxygen, chlorophyll fluorescence, optical backscatter, and transmissometer. Additionally, discrete depth samples for nutrients, chlorophyll, and particulate organic carbon/nitrogen were collected.

Tropical Storm Bill Assessment of Potential Coastal-Change Impacts: NHC Advisory 2, 0900 AM UTC MON JUN 16 2015

This dataset defines storm-induced coastal erosion hazards for the Texas and Louisiana coastline. The analysis was based on a storm-impact scaling model that used observations of beach morphology combined with sophisticated hydrodynamic models to predict how the coast would respond to the direct landfall of Tropical Storm Bill in June 2015. Storm-induced water levels, due to both surge and waves, were compared to beach and dune elevations to determine the probabilities of the three types of coastal change: collision (dune erosion), overwash, and inundation. All hydrodynamic and morphologic variables are included in this dataset.

Suggested Polygon of the Habitat Area of Particular Concern Associated with Pulley Ridge

Pulley Ridge is a series of drowned barrier islands that extends almost 200 km in 60-100 m water depths. This drowned ridge is located on the Florida Platform in the southeastern Gulf of Mexico about 250 km west of Cape Sable, Florida. This barrier island chain formed during the initial stage of the Holocene marine transgression. These islands were then submerged and left abandoned near the outer edge of the Florida Platform. The southern portion of Pulley Ridge hosts zooxanthellate scleractinian corals, green, red and brown macro algae, and a mix of deep and typically shallow-water tropical fishes. This reef community is in unusually deep water, and its extent and the controls on its distribution were unknown. To address these questions scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey Coastal and Marine Geology Program in cooperation with scientists from the University of South Florida Department of Marine Sciences have completed a detailed mapping of the southernmost 35 km of Pulley Ridge. The area was mapped using multibeam bathymetry, sidescan-sonar imagery, and high-resolution seismic-reflection profiling to define the geologic framework on which the reef is established. Submersible dives, remotely operated vehicle (ROV) transects, and transects of bottom photographs and video were collected to identify the corals and to map their distribution. This extensive suite of data has been compiled and preliminary analysis of the data suggests that the reefs are not tied to the ridge system, but instead are more broadly distributed. Whether reef distribution is controlled by oceanographic conditions or by subtle differences in the substrate that overlies the barrier island system is unclear, and are topics of continued research.

STCR2014_EAARLB_v09g12B_mosaic_metadata: EAARL-B Submerged Topography–Saint Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, 2014

A submerged topography Digital Elevation Model (DEM) mosaic for a portion of the submerged environs of Saint Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, was produced from remotely sensed, geographically referenced elevation measurements collected on March 11, 19, and 21, 2014 by the U.S. Geological Survey, in collaboration with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Coral Reef Conservation Program. Elevation measurements were collected over the area using the second-generation Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar (EAARL-B), 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 with an average point spacing of 0.5?1.6 meters. The nominal vertical elevation accuracy expressed as the root mean square error (RMSE) is 13.5 centimeters. A peak sampling rate of 15?30 kilohertz results in an extremely dense spatial elevation dataset. 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.

10-m Interpolated Bathymetric Grid of the Northern Part of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Survey H11044 off Milford, Connecticut (H11044N_10UTM, UTM Zone 18, WGS84)

During 2001 the NOAA Ship RUDE completed charting survey H11044 that covered a roughly 293 km2 area of the sea floor in north-central Long Island Sound, off Milford Connecticut. Although 100 percent coverage was achieved with sidescan sonar for charting purposes, only reconnaissance (spaced line) bathymetry was acquired with shallow-water multibeam and single-beam systems. Therefore, further processing was conducted at the USGS's Woods Hole Science Center to provide bathymetric datasets with more continuous coverage. This project produced grids and GeoTIFF imagery of the combined and interpolated shallow-water multibeam and single-beam bathymetry generated from the northern part of this data set.
Anthropogenic wastes, toxic chemicals, and changes in land-use patterns resulting from residential, commercial, and recreational development have stressed the environment of the Sound, causing degradation and potential loss of benthic habitats. Detailed maps of the sea floor are needed to help evaluate the extent of adverse impacts and to help manage resources wisely in the future.  Therefore, in a continuing effort to better understand Long Island Sound, we have interpolated and gridded shallow-water multibeam and single-beam bathymetric data within specific areas of special interest.
