Sprague River Oregon Centerline North Fork 2005

The Sprague River drains 4090 square kilometers in south-central Oregon before flowing into the Williamson 
River and upper Klamath Lake. In cooperation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the USGS and University 
of Oregon conducted a study to evaluate channel and floodplain processes for the 131 km of the Sprague River 
and its major tributaries, including the lower 20 km of the South Fork Sprague River, the lower 16 km of the North 
Fork Sprague River, and the lower 62 km of the Sycan River. The study involved multiple analyses, including 
assessments of historical channel change, riparian and floodplain vegetation, and surficial geology. To support 
these analyses, digital floodplain and channel maps were prepared from historic notes, maps, and aerial photos 
to depict channel and floodplain conditions at different times between 1866 and 2005. The geospatial database 
of current and historic channel and floodplain conditions will also enable evaluation of long-term trends pertaining 
to aquatic and riparian habitat conditions.

MODFLOW-2000 and MODPATH model data sets used in scenarios of groundwater flow and pumping (1900-2500) near Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

An existing three-dimensional model (MODFLOW-2000) by Fine, Petkewich, and Campbell (2017) 
(https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20175128) was used to evaluate 7 water-management scenarios and 
predict the effects on the groundwater flow and groundwater-level conditions in the Mount Pleasant, 
South Carolina area. This model was originally developed in 2007, by Petkewich and Campbell 
(https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/sir20075126), then updated and recalibrated to conditions 
from 1900 to 2015.  Results of six previous scenario simulations (scenarios 1-6) for the Mount 
Pleasant Water Works are published in a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Scientific Investigations 
Report (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20175128).  The archived model input and output files are available 
in a USGS data release (https://doi.org/10.5066/F7S181FC). 
		
Seven additional MODFLOW-2000 scenarios (numbered 7-13), using this updated and recalibrated 
model, were developed to evaluate different withdrawal strategies which are included in this data 
release: (7) Mount Pleasant Waterworks bringing online a new well (located at the old well 5 location) 
at 3.51 million gallons per day (Mgal/d) in 2025; (8) Maximizing withdrawals from Mount Pleasant 
Waterworks wells 2 and 5 (3.51 Mgal/d each) in 2020 and 2025, respectively; (9) Same as Scenario 
7, but removing well 3 from production in 2025; (10) Same as Scenario 9, but removing well 4 from 
production in 2025 (11) Same as Scenario 7, but converting well 3 to an injection well in 2025 (12) 
Same as Scenario 11, but converting well 4 to an injection well in 2030; and (13) Same as scenario 
8, but with two injection wells added (one in 2025 and one in 2035) to Mount Pleasant Waterworks 
well field. Nine alternate simulations for scenarios 11-13 (three MODFLOW and six MODPATH) 
were done to evaluate the effects of different porosity on the groundwater flow system, water levels, 
and the time-of-travel of particles from injection wells to the main water source.  This USGS data 
release contains all the input and output files for the simulations described above and in the 
readme.txt file of this data release (https://doi.org/10.5066/P9GZEE4E).

Modified soil adjusted vegetation index for the Death Valley regional flow system, Nevada and California

The raster-based Modified Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index was
derived from Landsat Thematic Mapper imagery data acquired
during June 1992 for the Death Valley regional flow system.
The index has been shown to increase the dynamic range of
the vegetation signal while further minimizing the soil
background influences, resulting in greater vegetation
sensitivity as defined by a "vegetation signal" to
"soil noise" ratio.  The data set was used in determining
phreatophyte boundaries for a ground-water evapotranspiration
study and relative differences in vegetation density between
discharge areas.

5 meter ArcRaster Bathymetric grid of both the inshore and offshore area of Cape Ann - Salisbury Beach Survey Area (CABATH5M, UTM Zone 19, WGS84)

These data were collected under a cooperative agreement with the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (CZM) and the U.S. Geological Survey, Coastal and Marine Geology Program, Woods Hole Science Center. 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 reserves, and assessing environmental changes due to natural or human impacts. The project is focused on the inshore waters (5-30m 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&lt;http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/project-pages/coastal_mass/html/current_map.html&gt;. This spatial dataset is from the Cape Ann and Salisbury Beach Massachusetts project area. They were collected in two separate surveys in 2004 and 2005 and cover approximately 325 square kilometers of the inner continental shelf.  High resolution bathymetry and backscatter intensity were collected in 2004 and 2005. Seismic profile data, sediment samples and bottom photography were also collected in 2005.

Survey lines along which EdgeTech SB-512i chirp seismic-reflection data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey - Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center offshore of the Gulf Islands, MS, 2010 (ESRI polyline shapefile, 2010-012-FA_SeismicTrackline.shp)

In 2010, the U.S. Geological Survey in Woods Hole, MA and St. Petersburg, FL, in partnership with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District conducted geologic mapping to characterize the seafloor and shallow subsurface stratigraphy offshore of the Gulf Islands of Mississippi. The mapping was carried out during two cruises in March, 2010 on the R/V Tommy Munro of Biloxi, MS. Data were acquired with the following equipment: an SEA Ltd SwathPlus interferometric sonar (both 234 kHz and 468 kHz systems), a Klein 3000 and a Klein 3900 dual frequency sidescan-sonar, and an Edgetech 512i chirp subbottom profiling system. The long-term goal of this mapping effort is to produce high-quality, high-resolution geologic maps and geophysical interpretations that can be utilized to identify sand resources within the region and better understand the Holocene evolution and anticipate future changes in this coastal system. More information on the field work can be accessed from the Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center Field Activity webpage https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2010-012-FA or the St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Geology InfoBank https://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/m/m210gm/html/m-2-10-gm.meta.html.

GIS data: Sediment Sample Locations Collected in July 2013 from the Northern Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana (U.S. Geological Survey Field Activity Number 13BIM05)

As part of the Barrier Island Evolution Research (BIER) project, scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (SPCMSC) collected sediment samples from the northern Chandeleur Islands in July 2013. The overall objective of this project, which integrates geophysical (bathymetric, seismic, and topographic) and sedimentologic data, is to understand better the depositional and erosional processes that drive the morphologic evolution of barrier islands over annual to interannual timescales (1 to 5 years). Between June 2010 and April 2011, in response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the State of Louisiana constructed a sand berm extending more than 14 kilometers (km) along the northern Chandeleur Islands platform. The construction of the berm provided a unique opportunity to investigate how this new sediment source interacts with and affects the morphologic evolution of the barrier-island system. Data collected from this study can be used to describe differences in the physical characteristics and spatial distribution of sediments both along the axis of the berm and also along transects across the berm and onto the adjacent barrier island. Comparison of these data with data from prior sampling efforts can provide information about sediment interactions and movement between the berm and the natural island platform, improving our understanding of short-term morphologic change and processes in this barrier-island system.
This data series serves as an archive of sediment data collected in July 2013 from the Chandeleur Islands sand berm and adjacent barrier-island environments. Data products, including descriptive core logs, core photographs and x-radiographs, results of sediment grain-size analyses, sample location maps, and Geographic Information System (GIS) data files with accompanying formal Federal Geographic Data Committee (FDGC) metadata, can be downloaded from https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/894/downloads.html.

Seabed still images in JPEG format and image locations collected on Stellwagen Bank during U.S. Geological Survey field activity 2016-004-FA, aboard the R/V Auk, January 28, 2016

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 19 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.

Shorelines used to calculate shoreline change statistics from the Buzzards Bay coastal region of Massachusetts from Nobska Point in Woods Hole to Westport at the Rhode Island border (BuzzardsBay_shorelines.shp)

Due to continued coastal population growth and increased threats of erosion, current data on trends and rates of shoreline movement are required to inform shoreline and floodplain management. The Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management launched the Shoreline Change Project in 1989 to identify erosion-prone areas of the coast. In 2001, a 1994 shoreline was added to calculate both long- and short-term shoreline change rates at 40-meter intervals along ocean-facing sections of the Massachusetts coast.
The Coastal and Marine Geology Program of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management, has compiled reliable historical shoreline data along open-facing sections of the Massachusetts coast under the Massachusetts Shoreline Change Mapping and Analysis Project 2013 Update. Two oceanfront shorelines for Massachusetts (approximately 1,800 km) were (1) delineated using 2008/09 color aerial orthoimagery, and (2) extracted from topographic LIDAR datasets (2007) obtained from NOAA's Ocean Service, Coastal Services Center. The new shorelines were integrated with existing Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (MA CZM) and USGS historical shoreline data in order to compute long- and short-term rates using the latest version of the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS).
