Umpqua River Oregon Roseburg PhotoMosaic 1967

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.

MCMASTER60_PROJECT: Sediments of Narragansett Bay

Gravel, sand, silt, and clay contents were determined for samples from Narragansett Bay and the adjacent Rhode Island Shelf. In the Narragansett Bay system, clayey silt and sand-silt-clay are the most abundant sediments. Sand is abundant locally and on the inner shelf. In general, toward the lower passages of the Bay the sediments show a progressive change to coarser textures.

Processed Continuous Resistivity Profiles Collected in the Neuse River, May3, 2005

The Neuse River Estuary in North Carolina is a broad, V-shaped water body located on the southwestern end of Pamlico Sound. This estuary suffers from severe eutrophication for which several water quality models have recently been developed to aid in the management of nutrient loading to the estuary. In an effort to help constrain model estimates of the fraction of nutrients delivered by direct ground-water discharge, continuous resistivity profile (CRP) measurements were made during the spring of 2004 and 2005. CRP is used to measure electrical resistivity of sediments, a property that is sensitive to difference in salinity of submarine ground water. The 2004 and 2005 surveys used floating resistivity streamers of 100 m and 50 m respectively. The depth penetration of the streamers is approximately 20% of the streamer length which translates to approximately 20-25 m with the 100 m streamer and 12-14 m with the 50 m streamer. These data were processed using AGI's EarthImager 2D software. CRP data enables the mapping of the extent and depth of the fresher ground water within the estuary.

Mean annual runoff, precipitation, and evapotranspiration in the glaciated northeastern United States, 1951-80

Two maps, compiled at 1:1,000,000 scale, depict mean annual runoff,
precipitation, and evapotranspiration in the part of the United
States east of Cleveland, Ohio and north of the southern limit of
glaciation.  The maps are mutually consistent in that runoff equals
precipitation minus evapotranspiration everywhere.  The runoff map
is based on records of streamflow from 503 watersheds in the United
States and southernmost Canada, adjusted to represent 1951-80 and
supplemented by records of precipitation at 459 stations.
Precipitation at each station was partitioned into point estimates
of runoff and evapotranspiration, which were constrained such that
the evapotranspiration estimates varied smoothly across the region
and decreased with increasing latitude and altitude, and the runoff
estimates were consistent with measured runoff from nearby
watersheds.  A point estimate of runoff was allowed to equal mean
runoff in a nearby watershed, or to be somewhat higher
(or lower) if a compensating departure from mean watershed runoff
could be inferred in distant parts of the watershed on the basis of
altitude or regional trends.  Then, precipitation contours were
drawn to parallel runoff contours but differ from them by the
magnitude of nearby estimates of evapotranspiration.  These maps may
slightly underrepresent mean precipitation and evapotranspiration
in areas of high relief because most precipitation stations in such
areas are in valleys.
These 3 coverages were used to produce Open-File Report 96-395.

Shapefiles of data from the west Florida Shelf in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico including sediment data and interpretations of shelf-edge habitats

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), and Florida State University (FSU), collected the data presented here as part of a larger study of seafloor habitats on the shelf edge of the northeastern Gulf of Mexico. It is a pilot study, carried out to demonstrate the utility of geologic mapping to fisheries management issues. This report contains sidescan-sonar mosaics, seismic-reflection profiles, texture and calcium carbonate content of sediment samples and interpretative maps of the seafloor morphology, sediments, and benthic habitats of the study area.
The study area is an approximately 150-km2 area along the shelf edge in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico. The site is on the eastern side of the DeSoto Canyon and 75 km due south of Cape San Blas on the Florida panhandle. Water depth ranges from about 50 meters (m) to 120 m. It was chosen because reports from fishermen suggested that high-relief rocky outcrops, which are preferred by gag grouper as spawning aggregation sites, would be abundant. The geologic maps help the fisheries biologists select station locations for ongoing monitoring studies and provide a basis for siting of future reserves.

Seafloor character from sidescan sonar data-Santa Barbara Channel

Substrate was classified using the method of (Cochrane and Lafferty, 2002) for this study. Sea floor character derived from towed sidescan sonar data is available for the mainland coast within the study area from USGS online publications (Cochrane and others, 2003; Cochrane and others, 2005). The number of substrate classes was reduced because rugosity could not be derived for all areas due to the lack of bathymetry data for other data sets used in the study.

Evapotranspiration Units for the Diamond Valley Flow System Groundwater Discharge Area, Central Nevada, 2010

These data were created as part of a hydrologic study to characterize groundwater budgets and water quality 
in the Diamond Valley Flow System (DVFS), central Nevada. This dataset represents evapotranspiration (ET) 
units derived from the mean Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) calculated from two Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper 
scenes from the summer of 2010. ET units were defined within the DVFS groundwater discharge area (GDA) to 
group areas characterized by similar phreatophytic vegetation type and cover and to extrapolate site-scale 
groundwater ET estimates across the study area.  This dataset represents three ET units: shrubland, grassland, 
and playa. The shrubland unit is composed of low to high density phreatophytic shrubs and bare soil while the 
grassland ET unit is composed of grassland, meadow, and marshland vegetation assemblages. The ET units 
were developed using a combination of EVI and site scale discharge measurements. The data were used to 
evaluate and estimate groundwater discharge by evapotranspiration in the study area. ET unit delineations 
reflect general spatial changes on the landscape and are not intended to be exact delineations of plant 
communities or soil conditions.

Estimates of nitrogen-fertilizer sales for the conterminous United States in 1987

This coverage contains estimates of nitrogen-fertilizer sales for the
conterminous United States in 1987 as reported by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (1990) and by Jerald Fletcher (West Virginia University,
written commun., 1992). Nitrogen-fertilizer sales estimates in this
coverage are reported for each county polygon in tons of actual nutrient
sold (inorganic nitrogen, phosphate, and potash) as distinct from total
tons of fertilizer product.
		
The data are summarized for fertilizer years (i.e. the 1987 fertilizer
year runs from July 1, 1986 to June 30, 1987).
		
The polygons representing county boundaries in the conterminous United
States, as well as lakes, estuaries, and other nonland-area features were
derived from the Digital Line Graph (DLG) file representing the
1:2,000,000-scale map in the National Atlas of the United States (1970).

2004 Maine NOAA 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 2004 NOAA Maine 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.

6-m resolution image of shaded relief multibeam bathymetry in western Massachusetts Bay map Quadrangle 3, pseudo-colored by backscatter intensity (Q3_BACKPC.TIF)

The U.S. Geological Survey has conducted geologic mapping to characterize the sea floor offshore of Massachusetts.  The mapping was carried out using a Simrad Subsea EM 1000 Multibeam Echo Sounder on the Frederick G. Creed on four cruises conducted between 1994 and 1998.  The mapping was conducted in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and with support from the Canadian Hydrographic Service and the University of New Brunswick.
The long-term goal of this mapping effort is to produce high-resolution geologic maps and a Geographic Information System (GIS) project that presents images and grids of bathymetry, shaded relief bathymetry, and backscatter intensity data from these surveys that will serve the needs of research, management and the public.
