CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth) data collected on Stellwagen Bank on U.S. Geological Survey field activity 2015-062-FA, aboard the R/V Auk, Oct. 21 and 22 and Nov. 3 and 4 2015

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 75 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 temperature, conductivity, and depth measurements of the water column. Additional information regarding this field activity is available from https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fa=2015-062-FA.

Water level and salinity data for four sites in the coastal marsh at Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, Mississippi, from October 2016 through October 2017

To understand sediment deposition in marsh environments, scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey, St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (USGS-SPCMSC) selected four study sites in the Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, Mississippi (GNDNERR). Each site consisted of four plots located along a transect perpendicular to the marsh-estuary shoreline at 5-meter (m) increments (5, 10, 15, and 20 m from the shoreline). Each plot contained four net sedimentation tiles (NST) that were secured flush to the marsh surface using polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe. NST are an inexpensive and simple tool to assess short- and long-term deposition that can be deployed in highly dynamic environments without the compaction associated with traditional coring methods. The NST were deployed for three months, measuring quarterly sediment deposition for one year from October 2016 to October 2017. In addition, three NST were deployed at the 10-m plot on October 5th prior to the landfall of Hurricane Nate (October 8, 2017) and retrieved after 12 days, providing measurements of storm deposition. Sediment deposited on the NST were processed to determine physical characteristics, such as deposition thickness, volume, wet weight/dry weight, and organic content (loss-on-ignition [LOI]). When available, additional data collected at each site including water level, elevation, and turbidity data are provided in this data release.  Data were collected during Field Activities Numbers (FAN) 2017-303-FA, 2017-315-FA, 2017-333-FA, 2017-346-FA, and 2017-363-FA (also known as subFANs 17CCT01, 17CCT02, 17CCT03, 17CCT04, and 17CCT05, respectively). Additional survey and data details are available from the U.S. Geological Survey Coastal and Marine Geoscience Data System (CMGDS) at, https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/.

Umpqua River Oregon Days Creek PhotoMosaic 1939

The Umpqua River drains 12,103 square kilometers (4,673 square miles) in southwest Oregon before flowing 
into the Pacific Ocean at Winchester Bay near the city of Reedsport. In cooperation with the Portland District 
of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the USGS evaluated sediment transport and gravel storage 
along the downstream alluvial reaches of the North and South Umpqua Rivers and the entire mainstem 
Umpqua River. This includes the lower 46.8 kilometers (29.1 miles) of the North Umpqua River and the 
lower 122.6 kilometers (76.2 miles) of the South Umpqua River. 
		
The Umpqua River gravel transport study involved multiple analyses, including tracking patterns of historical 
channel change and estimation of a sediment budget. To support these analyses, digital channel maps were 
produced to depict channel and floodplain conditions along the Umpqua River system from different time periods.
		
GIS layers defining the active channel of the Umpqua River system were developed for three time periods: 
1939, 1967, and 2005. For the South Umpqua River and the 19 kilometers (12 miles) of the mainstem 
Umpqua River downstream from the confluence of the North and South Umpqua Rivers, GIS layers were 
also developed for the time periods 1994, 2000, 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 active 
channel datasets were developed by digitizing from aerial photographs. Aerial photographs from 1939 and 
1967 were scanned, rectified, and mosaiced for this project. Digital orthophotographs from 1994, 2000, 2005, 
and 2009 are publicly available (See metadata for each photograph set for more information on the rectification 
process and resolution of each dataset). Although our study area encompasses the Umpqua River and lower 
reaches of the North and South Umpqua Rivers, the extent of each dataset depended upon the underlying 
aerial photographs; for example, the 1967 photographs extend only as far downstream as floodplain kilometer 
7, whereas the 1939 and 2005 datasets extend to the mouth of the Umpqua River at the Pacific Ocean.

AA_Q16.TIF - Aleutian Arc U.S. EEZ GLORIA sidescan-sonar data mosaic (16 of 31) (LCC, 50 m, WGS84)

During late July through September 1987 and June and July 1988 the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted four cruises to cover the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) region of the Aleutian Arc. As in earlier EEZ reconnaissance surveys, the USGS utilized the GLORIA (Geological LOng-Range Inclined Asdic) sidescan-sonar system to complete the geologic mapping. The collected GLORIA data were processed and digitally mosaicked to produce continuous imagery of the seafloor. A total of 31 digital mosaics of a 3 degree by 3 degree (or smaller) area with a 50-meter pixel resolution were completed for the region.

GAK_Q49.TIF - Gulf of Alaska U.S. EEZ GLORIA sidescan-sonar data mosaic (19 of 30) (LCC, 50 m, WGS84)

GLORIA data for the Gulf of Alaska Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) were acquired during five cruises over a four year period. The first cruise conducted in 1986 (F-1-86-GA) surveyed an area of the north-central mosaic area and covered an area of approximately 40,000 square kilometers (sq km). The second two cruises (F-8-88-AA, F-9-88-WG) were conducted in 1988. One of the 1988 cruises (F-8-88-AA) focused on a survey of the Aleutian Arc. The eastern most portion of that survey extended outside of the Aleutian Arc survey area and covered an area of approximately 52,000 square kilometers (sq km) of seafloor on the western edge of the Gulf of Alaska. The final two cruises (F-6-89-GA, F-7-89-EG) were completed in 1989. As in earlier EEZ reconnaissance surveys, the USGS utilized the GLORIA (Geological LOng-Range Inclined Asdic) sidescan-sonar system to complete the geologic mapping. The collected GLORIA data were processed and digitally mosaicked to produce continuous imagery of the seafloor. Thirty digital mosaics with a 50-meter pixel resolution were completed for the region.

Single-Beam Bathymetry Sounding Data of Shark River and Trout Creek, Florida (2004) in XYZ file format

During the past century, river and tidal creeks through the coastal wetlands of the Everglades have filled with sediment and vegetation of surrounding landscapes to the point that many have greatly diminished or disappeared entirely. Restoration plans are under consideration to redirect additional freshwater inflow from the Everglades to open and sustain these waterways to a level that closely resembles historic patterns.  The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) has developed hydrodynamic numerical models to help define the restoration plan and oversees monitoring to assess restoration impacts.
This report serves as an archive of processed single-beam bathymetry data that were collected in Shark River and Trout Creek, Florida in 2004. Geographic information system data products include XYZ data. Additional files include formal Federal Geographic Data Committee metadata.

LANDFIRE Remap Fuel Vegetation Cover (FVC) Micronesia

The LANDFIRE (LF) 2016 Remap (Remap) Fuel Vegetation Cover (FVC) represents a modified pre-disturbance version of the Existing Vegetation Cover (EVC) product from previous LF versions. LF Remap EVC is mapped as continuous estimates of canopy cover for tree, shrub, and herbaceous lifeforms with a potential range from 10% to 100%. To translate continuous EVC values into fuel model assignments, EVC values are binned to correspond with the bins from previous LF versions. FVC leverages fuel transition assignments related to disturbed areas by re-establishing  pre-disturbance vegetation and is developed using the full suite of LF vegetation releases, plus the most recent 10 years of disturbance data. FVC is a capable fuels product that calculates Time Since Disturbance (TSD) assignments for disturbed areas using an "effective year." For example, year 2020 fuels may be calculated for the year 2020. the new process considers all the existing disturbances included in LF Remap and adjusts the TSD for these to the effective year (2020 in the example), making the products "2020 capable fuels." More information about capable fuels can be found at https://www.landfire.gov/lf_remap.php.
