AndreaBozzo/ceres-open-data-index huggingface dataset:
Digital geospatial datasets in support of hydrologic investigations of the Colorado Front Range Infrastructure Resources Project

The U.S. Geological Survey developed this dataset as part of the Colorado Front Range Infrastructure Resources 
Project (FRIRP).  One goal of the FRIRP was to provide information on the availability of those hydrogeologic 
resources that are either critical to maintaining infrastructure along the northern Front Range or that may 
become less available because of urban expansion in the northern Front Range.  This dataset extends 
from the Boulder-Jefferson County line on the south, to the middle of Larimer and Weld Counties on the 
North. On the west, this dataset is bounded by the approximate mountain front of the Front Range of the 
Rocky Mountains;  on the east, by an arbitrary north-south line extending through a point about 6.5 
kilometers east of Greeley.  This digital geospatial dataset consists of bedrock-outcrop outlines from 
hand-drawn maps.

14BIM05_SSS_50cm_WGS84_UTM16N_Tile1: The 0.50-meter sample resolution of the side-scan sonar data collected in 2014 near Breton National Wildlife Refuge, Louisiana. This tile is one of four for this dataset.

As part of the Barrier Island Monitoring Project, scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center conducted nearshore geophysical surveys off Breton and Gosier Islands, Louisiana, in July and August of 2014. To assist the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) with restoration planning efforts, the USGS was tasked with answering fundamental questions about the physical environment of the southern Chandeleur Islands, including the geology, morphology, and oceanography. Baseline data needed to answer these questions was either insufficient or missing in the area.  The USGS conducted a comprehensive geologic investigation in the summer of 2014 by collecting geophysical and sedimentological data.
Breton Island, located at the southern end of the Chandeleur Island chain, Louisiana, was recognized as a natural and globally important nesting sanctuary for several bird species and was established as the Breton National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) in 1904.  The aerial extent of Breton Island has diminished 90% since 1920.  Land loss is attributed to ongoing relative sea-level rise, diminished sediment supply, and storm impacts.  The bird population on Breton Island has also declined over the years, most notably after Hurricane George in 1998 and Hurricane Katrina in 2015, which completely submerged the island.  Despite the decreasing habitable acreage, migratory seabirds continue to return and utilize Breton Island.  To prevent the island from being completely submerged in the future and to protect, stabilize, and provide more nesting and foraging areas for the birding population, the USFWS is proposing a restoration effort to rebuild Breton Island to its pre-Katrina footprint.
This Data Series serves as an archive of processed interferometric-swath, single-beam bathymetry, and side-scan sonar data collected in the nearshore of Breton and Gosier Islands, NWR, Louisiana.  The data were collected during two USGS cruises (USGS Field Activity Numbers 2014-314-FA and 2014-317-FA) in July and August 2014. Geographic Information System data products include a 100 meter-cell-size interpolated bathymetry grid surface, trackline maps, and point data files. Additional files include error analysis maps, Field Activity Collection System logs, and formal Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) metadata.

SUTRA model used to evaluate the effects of groundwater withdrawal and injection, Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park, Hawaiʻi

A three-dimensional, variable-density solute-transport model (SUTRA) was developed 
to evaluate the effects of three selected withdrawal/injection scenarios on salinity of 
groundwater (as simulated at damselfly anchialine-pool habitat) and discharge of 
freshwater to the nearshore environment of Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical 
Park (KAHO), Hawaiʻi. A base model was constructed using water-level, salinity, 
and withdrawal data available during the period from 2009 to 2017. Groundwater 
recharge for the base model was from a published daily water budget representing 
rainfall for the period 1984-2008. The SUTRA code was modified to include simplified 
unsaturated zone properties in the subroutine UNSAT. Changes in salinity of groundwater 
and discharge of freshwater relative to the base model were quantified for two withdrawal 
and one injection scenario. Each of the withdrawal/injection scenarios consists of 15 
model runs, representing 15 independently tested withdrawal/injection sites. Model 
parameter values for the three-dimensional model were initially estimated using a 
two-dimensional cross section model and the model code SUTRA-MS, which allows 
simulation of both salinity and heat transport. The two-dimensional cross-section model 
was used to evaluate model sensitivity to selected features or flow-system 
conceptualizations. The four sensitivity-analysis model simulations were: 
(1) no heat transport; 
(2) confining units for the deep, coastal confined-groundwater system with dip of 5 degrees 
instead of 1 degree in the base model; 
(3) thick upper confining unit; and 
(4) no confining units. 
This USGS data release contains all of the input and output files for the simulations described 
in the associated model documentation report (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20215004).

Contours--Offshore of Salt Point Map Area, California

This part of DS 781 presents data for the bathymetric contours for several seafloor maps of the Offshore of Salt Point map area, California. The vector data file is included in "Contours_OffshoreSaltPoint.zip," which is accessible from https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/781/OffshoreSaltPoint/data_catalog_OffshoreSaltPoint.html. These data accompany the pamphlet and map sheets of Johnson, S.Y., Dartnell, P., Golden, N.E., Hartwell, S.R., Erdey, M.D., Greene, H.G., Cochrane, G.R., Kvitek, R.G., Manson, M.W., Endris, C.A., Dieter, B.E., Watt, J.T., Krigsman, L.M., Sliter, R.W., Lowe, E.N., and Chin, J.L. (S.Y. Johnson and S.A. Cochran, eds.), 2015, California State Waters Map Series—Offshore of Salt Point, California: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2015–1098, pamphlet 37 p., 10 sheets, scale 1:24,000, https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20151098.
10-m interval contours of the Offshore of SaltPoint map area, California, were generated from bathymetry data collected by California State University, Monterey Bay (CSUMB) and by Fugro Pelagos. Mapping was completed between 2007 and 2010, using a combination of 200-kHz and 400-kHz Reson 7125, and 244-kHz Reson 8101 multibeam echosounders, as well as 468-kHz SEA SWATHPlus interferometric system. These mapping missions combined to collect bathymetry from about the 10-m isobath to beyond the 3-nautical-mile limit of California State Waters. Bathymetric contours at 10-m intervals were generated from a bathymetric surface model. The most continuous contour segments were preserved while smaller segments and isolated island polygons were excluded from the final output. Contours were smoothed via a polynomial approximation with exponential kernel (PAEK) algorithm using a tolerance value of 60 m. The contours were then clipped to the boundary of the map area. These data are not intended for navigational purposes.

Autonomous Surface Vehicle Sidescan-sonar mosaic from Cat Point Bar, Apalachicola Bay, Florida (ASV157.TIF)

These data were collected under a cooperative mapping program between the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Coastal Services Center (NOAA\CSC), and the Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR). The primary objectives of this program were to collect marine geophysical data to develop a suite of seafloor maps to better define the extent of oyster habitats, the overall seafloor geology of the bay and provide updated information for management of this resource. In addition to their value for management of the bay's oyster resources, the maps also provide a geologic framework for scientific research and the public.
High resolution bathymetry, backscatter intensity, and seismic profile data were collected over a 230 square kilometers of the floor of the bay. The study focused on the Apalachicola Bay and Western St. George Sound portions of the estuary mostly in depths &gt; 2.0 meters.

Shorelines Extracted from 1984-2015 Landsat Imagery: Cat Island, Mississippi (dates_meta.txt)

Shorelines Extracted from 1984-2015 Landsat Imagery:  Cat Island, Mississippi (Polyline: Individual Dates) is a line 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.

Still images in JPEG format of the sediment surface in the grab sampler, collected on Stellwagen Bank during U.S. Geological Survey field activity 2019-008-FA, aboard the R/V Auk, July 30, 31, and August 1, 2019

This field activity is part of the effort to map geologic substrates of the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary region off Boston, Massachusetts. The overall goal is to develop high-resolution (1:25,000) interpretive maps, based on multibeam sonar data and seabed sampling, showing surficial geology and seabed sediment dynamics. This cruise was conducted in collaboration with the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary, and the data collected will aid research on the ecology of fish and invertebrate species that inhabit the region. The Sanctuary's research vessel, R/V Auk, visited 53 locations on Stellwagen Bank at which a customized Van Veen grab sampler (SEABOSS) equipped with a video camera and a CTD was deployed in drift mode to collect sediment for grain-size analysis, video imagery of the seabed, and measurements of water column properties.
