US Fish and Wildlife Service Fire Atlas- Burn Severity Mosaic for CONUS in 1999

The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) requests burn severity assessments through an agreement with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to be completed by analysts with the Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity (MTBS) Program. These data products are burned area boundary shapefiles derived from post-fire sensor data (including Landsat TM, Landsat ETM+, Landsat OLI). The pre-fire and post-fire subsets included were used to create Normalized Burn Ratio (NBR) and then a differenced Normalized Burn Ratio (dNBR) image. The objective of this assessment was to generate burned area boundaries for each fire. Data bundles also include post-fire subset, pre-fire subset, NBR, and dNBR images. This map layer is a thematic raster image of burn severity classes for all inventoried fires occurring in CONUS during calendar year 1999. Fires omitted from this mapped inventory are those where suitable satellite imagery was not available, or fires which were not discernable from available imagery.

Terrestrial Light Detection and Ranging Topographic Data at a Recreation Site Upstream from Blue Mountain Lake, Arkansas, March 2020

Topographic data were collected at Hise Hill Recreation Center on the Petit Jean River about 2 miles upstream from Blue Mountain Lake on March 3, 2020, using terrestrial light detection and ranging (T-lidar), Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), and conventional surveying techniques. These data are high-resolution topography in laser scan format, collected using a tripod mounted T-lidar at multiple scan setups. Data collection software integrated and stored the range and angular measurements from the T-lidar equipment. Computer software was used to process the raw data, align the various scans in reference to one another, classify the data, and extract the topography data in a useable format. The data were saved with Red, Green, Blue color and classification in LAS format (8.5 million points).

CoSMoS (Coastal Storm Modeling System) Central California v3.1 wave-hazard projections: 20-year storm in Monterey County

This data contains maximum model-derived significant wave height (in meters) for the sea-level rise (SLR) and storm condition indicated. 
The Coastal Storm Modeling System (CoSMoS) makes detailed predictions (meter-scale) over large geographic scales (100s of kilometers) of storm-induced coastal flooding and erosion for both current and future sea-level rise (SLR) scenarios. Projections for CoSMoS v3.1 in Central California include flood-hazard information for the coast from Pt. Conception to the Golden Gate. Outputs include SLR scenarios of 0.0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, and 5.0 meters; storm scenarios include background conditions (astronomic spring tide and average atmospheric conditions) and simulated 1-year/20-year/100-year return interval coastal storms. Methods and processes used in Central California are replicated from and described in O'Neill and others (2018). Please read metadata and inspect output carefully. Data are complete for the information presented.
Due to file size constraints, data are available in two parts: part 1 includes SLR conditions 0 - 1.5 m, and part 2 includes SLR conditions 2.0 - 5.0 m.

Channel centerline for the Tillamook, Trask, Wilson, Kilchis, and Miami Rivers, 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.

Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2005, 2008, 2012, 2016 and 2018 Site 0194 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 five land-water products (2005, 2008, 2012, YYYY and 2018).  The resulting matrix has 32 possible classes defined by the combination of land and water categories on those five dates.

Exit and Paradise Creek Fluvial Features, 1950

This dataset presents a delineation of the maximum extent of fluvial occupation detectable from vegetation patterns at Exit and Paradise Creeks in Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska for 1950 conditions. This comprehensive 1950 surface includes the active braid plain, taken as the suite of wetted channels and largely unvegetated intervening bars (Curran and McTeague, 2011), the inactive braid plain, considered here as vegetated formerly occupied channels and bars still accessible by braiding without substantial bank erosion, and surfaces occupied by former glacier drainage but potentially no longer accessible by braiding. For simplicity, this surface also includes isolated non-fluvial features such as bedrock or moraines stranded within the fluvial features.Limited photo resolution and lack of elevation data precluded differentiating the active and inactive surfaces.

Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2021 Site 0565 land-water classification data

Wetland restoration efforts conducted by the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in Louisiana rely on monitoring efforts to determine the efficacy of these efforts. 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 398 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. A DOQQ is a raster image in which displacement in the image caused by sensor orientation and terrain relief has been removed and combines the image characteristics of a photo with geometric qualities of a map. The DOQQs generated for this project consist of 2021 Color Infrared (CIR) Digital Imagery. These images were classified into land and water categories using a threshold of the near infrared (NIR) band, followed by supervised and unsupervised classification.  Initial classification results are then reviewed by multiple image analysts to identify and manually recode errors. The final land-water classifications are intended to serve as both geographic and quantitative assessments of landscape composition on the date of acquisition. Five previous assessments have been conducted (2005, 2008, 2012, 2015/2016, and 2018). Once the program creates enough data points for statistical analyses, these data will be used for land area change rate calculation.

National Assessment of Oil and Gas Project - Michigan Basin Province (063) Boundary

The USGS Central Region Energy Team assesses oil and gas resources of the United States.  The onshore and State water areas of the United States comprise 71 provinces.  Within these provinces, Total Petroleum Systems are defined and Assessment Units are defined and assessed.  Each of these provinces is defined geologically, and most province boundaries are defined by major geologic changes.    The Michigan Basin Province is located in all of Michigan, except for a small portion of the Upper Penninsula, eastern Wisconsin, northeastern Illinois, northern Indiana, and northwestern Ohio. The main population centers within the study area are Detroit, Grand Rapids, Lansing and Flint, Michigan; Milwakee, Wisconsin; Chicago, Illinois; Fort Wayne, Indiana; and Toledo, Ohio. Numerous Interstate highways traverse the province from north to south and east to west. The province boundary was drawn to include the geologic structures generally considered to be in or bounding the Michigan Basin.

Velocity_GBI: Modeling the effects of large-scale interior headland restoration on tidal hydrodynamics and salinity transport in an open coast, marine-dominant estuary: model input and results

Using version 20.1_19 of the Discontinuous-Galerkin Shallow Water Equations Model (DG-SWEM) (Kubatko and others, 2006), astronomic tides and salinity transport were simulated at Grand Bay, Alabama (AL), under scenarios of interior headland restoration and sea level rise, as described in Passeri and others (2023). The two-dimensional DG-SWEM model can be applied to coastal and estuarine systems to solve for time-dependent hydrodynamic circulation and salinity transport. The DG-SWEM model uses the ADCIRC framework (Luettich and others, 1992) and requires inputs of an unstructured finite element mesh. For this study, the mesh domain has an open ocean boundary in the Gulf of Mexico and has higher spatial resolution elements (20 - 100 meters [m]) along the Mississippi and Alabama coast. The model mesh coordinates (latitude and longitude) and simulated maximum velocities are included in this data release. For further information regarding model input generation and visualization of model output, refer to Passeri and others (2023).
