Processed Continuous Resistivity Profiles Collected in the Neuse River, April 23, 2004

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.

Time Series of Structure-from-Motion Products - RGB Orthomosaics: Little Dauphin Island and Pelican Island, Alabama, September 2018 to April 2019

Aerial imagery acquired with a small unmanned aircraft system (sUAS), in conjunction with surveyed ground control points (GCP) visible in the imagery, can be processed with structure-from-motion (SfM) photogrammetry techniques to produce high-resolution orthomosaics, three-dimensional (3D) point clouds and digital elevation models (DEMs). This dataset, prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (SPCMSC), provides UAS survey data products consisting of red-green-blue (RGB) orthomosaics produced from imagery collected at Little Dauphin Island and Pelican Island, Alabama, from September 2018 to April 2019 in order to develop integrated models linking geomorphology, habitat characteristics, and non-breeding shorebird species usage.
Photogrammetry software was used to perform SfM processing on low-altitude digital aerial imagery acquired with a 3DR Solo UAS quadcopter equipped with a Ricoh GR II digital camera and MicaSense RedEdge 3 multispectral camera, using surveyed temporary targets (black and white, 4-square checked pattern) distributed uniformly throughout the UAS flight operations area as GCPs. The following SfM products are produced for each UAS survey over the northern half of Little Dauphin Island and all of Pelican Island:
* georeferenced red-green-blue (RGB) orthomosaic image with 5-centimeter (cm) resolution
* georeferenced multispectral (MS) orthomosaic image with 5-cm resolution
* DEM with 5-cm horizontal resolution
* 3D RGB-colored point cloud
All horizontal data are provided in the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) projected coordinate system, Zone 16 North (16N), referenced to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83(2011)), and elevation is referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88), GEOID12B.

Digital Shoreline Analysis System version 4.1 Transects with Short-Term Rate Calculations for the Massachusetts Islands Region including Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket (MA_Islands_ST.shp)

Sandy ocean beaches are a popular recreational destination, often surrounded by communities containing valuable real estate.  Development is on the rise despite the fact that coastal infrastructure is subjected to flooding and erosion.  As a result, there is an increased demand for accurate information regarding past and present shoreline changes.  To meet these national needs, the Coastal and Marine Geology Program of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is compiling existing reliable historical shoreline data along open-ocean sandy shores of the conterminous United States and parts of Alaska and Hawaii under the National Assessment of Shoreline Change project.
There is no widely accepted standard for analyzing shoreline change.  Existing shoreline data measurements and rate calculation methods vary from study to study and prevent combining results into state-wide or regional assessments.  The impetus behind the National Assessment project was to develop a standardized method of measuring changes in shoreline position that is consistent from coast to coast.  The goal was to facilitate the process of periodically and systematically updating the results in an internally consistent manner.

Underwater video observations offshore of Tacoma, Washington

This part of USGS Data Series 935 (Cochrane, 2014) presents observations from underwater video collected in the Offshore of Tacoma, Washington, map area, a part of the Southern Salish Sea Map Series. To validate the interpretations of sonar data in order to turn it into geologically and biologically useful information, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) towed a camera sled over specific locations throughout the Tacoma map area to collect video and photographic data that would “ground truth” the seafloor. The ground-truth survey conducted in the Tacoma map area occurred in 2009 and 2011 on the R/V Karluk (USGS field activity K109PS, and K0111PS) and on the Washington State Department of Fish and Game R/V Molluscan in 2011 and 2012 (USGS field activity M0111PS, M0112PS, and M0212PS). The camera sled was towed 1 to 2 m above the seafloor at speeds of between 1 and 2 nautical miles/hour. The surveys for this map area includes approximately 30 hours (47 trackline km) of video.

Shaded Relief of the Bathymetry near Shorty's Island and Myrtle Bend, 2010, Kootenai River near Bonners Ferry, ID

The shaded relief raster data was created based on bathymetry obtained in the meander 
reach collected in about a one month period extending from 6/3/2010 - 6/19/2010. This 
subset data extends from river kilometer designator 228 upstream to 237. Similar methods 
used to collect and process the bathymetry are described in Fosness (2013). The shaded 
relief was created from a surface raster (also referred to as digital elevation model) of the 
bathymetry data and displays the illumination angle of the surface raster. The shaded relief 
data provides an appearance of three-dimensional space through the use of shading and 
lighting.

National Land Cover Database 2001 (NLCD01) Tile 2, Northeast United States: NLCD01_2

This 30-meter data set represents land use and land cover for the conterminous United States for the 2001 time 
period. The data have been arranged into four tiles to facilitate timely display and manipulation within a Geographic 
Information System see https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/file/get/631405cad34e36012efa3297?name=nlcd01-partitions.jpg.
The National Land Cover Data Set for 2001 was produced through a cooperative project conducted by the Multi-
Resolution Land Characteristics (MRLC) Consortium. The MRLC Consortium is a partnership of Federal agencies 
(http://www.mrlc.gov), consisting of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric 
Administration (NOAA), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), the U.S. Department of Agriculture 
(USDA), the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), the National Park Service (NPS), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 
(USFWS), the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service 
(NRCS). One of the primary goals of the project is to generate a current, consistent, seamless, and accurate 
National Land Cover Database (NLCD) circa 2001 for the United States at medium spatial resolution. For a 
detailed definition and discussion on MRLC and the NLCD 2001 products, refer to Homer and others (2004), 
(see: https://www.mrlc.gov/mrlc2k.asp).
		
The NLCD 2001 was created by partitioning the United States into mapping zones. A total of 68 mapping zones 
(see https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/file/get/631405cad34e36012efa3297?name=nlcd01-mappingzones.jpg), were delineated within the conterminous 
United States based on ecoregion and geographical characteristics, edge-matching features, and the size 
requirement of Landsat mosaics. Mapping zones encompass the whole or parts of several states. 
Questions about the NLCD mapping zones can be directed to the NLCD 2001 Land Cover Mapping Team at 
the USGS/EROS, Sioux Falls, SD (605) 594-6151 or mrlc@usgs.gov.

Raw and modified raw continuous resistivity profile data collected in Manhasset Bay on Long Island, New York on May 16, 2008

An investigation of coastal groundwater systems was performed along the north shore of Long Island, New York during May 2008 to constrain nutrient delivery to Northport Harbor and Manhasset Bay by delineating locations of likely groundwater discharge. The embayments are bounded by steep moraines and are underlain by thick fine-grained sediments deposited in proglacial lakes during the last ice age. Beach sand and gravel overlie the glacial deposits along the coast. The continuous resistivity profiling (CRP) surveys that were conducted indicate the existence of low-salinity groundwater in shore-parallel bands, typically 25 to 50 meters wide, along the shorelines of both bays. Piezometer sampling and seepage meter deployments in intertidal and subtidal areas of the two bays confirmed the presence and discharge of brackish and low-salinity groundwater. The large tidal ranges (up to 3 meters), and the steep onshore topography and hydraulic gradients are important variables controlling coastal groundwater discharge in these areas. For more information on the survey involved in this project, see https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2008-007-FA.

Radiocarbon age dates for sections of 19 sediment cores from offshore Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in 2008 and Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in the 1960's

In 2008, as a collaborative effort between Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the U.S. Geological Survey, 20 giant gravity cores were collected from areas surrounding Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The regions sampled have had many large earthquake and landslide events, some of which are believed to have triggered tsunamis. The objective of this coring cruise, carried out aboard the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration research vessel Seward Johnson, was to determine the age of several substantial slope failures and seismite layers near Puerto Rico in an effort to map their temporal distribution. Data gathered from the cores collected in 2008 and 11 archive cores from the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory are included in this report. These data include lithologic logs, core summary sheets, x-ray fluorescence, wet-bulk density, magnetic susceptibility, grain-size analyses, radiographs, and radiocarbon age dates.

LANDFIRE Remap Forest Canopy Bulk Density (CBD) Puerto Rico US Virgin Islands

LANDFIRE’s (LF) 2106 Remap (Remap) Canopy Bulk Density (CBD) describes the mass of available canopy fuel per unit canopy volume that would burn in a crown fire. A spatially explicit map of CBD supplies information used in fire behavior models to determine the spread characteristics of crown fires across the landscape. The CBD mapping process derives field referenced estimates of canopy characteristics through LF Reference Database (LFRDB) plot analysis. Utilizing the LFRDB plots, field referenced CBD values are computed for each plot with the canopy fuel estimation software FuelCalc. In FuelCalc, for tree species that have no crown biomass, an equation for a species with a similar genus is used as a substitute. Species widely considered to be resistant to fire are excluded, for example, Acer and Populus spp. are excluded from the canopy fuel profile because these species are considered relatively inflammable and therefore unavailable. 
CBD has a series of post-processing techniques and logic checks ensuring it is relevant in the context of other fuel products and fire behavior predictions. All non-forest values and non-burnable types such as urban, barren, snow and ice, and agriculture are coded as 0. Some stands dominated by broadleaf species which typically do not permit initiation of crown fire (e.g. Populus spp.) are coded with a CBD of 0.01 kg m-3.  In some instances, LF Remap assumes the potential burnable biomass in the tree canopy has been accounted for in the surface fuel model. For example, young or short conifer stands where the trees are represented by a shrub type fuel model will not have canopy characteristics. 
LF Remap Annual Disturbance products are incorporated into CBD to provide informed changes by disturbance type, severity, and time since disturbance (TSD). Annual Disturbance products provide a pre-disturbance scenario represented by LF Remap existing vegetation products. Reporting of the pre-disturbance scenario helps to calculate CBD, with information about vegetation type, cover, and height impacted by a disturbance. With the use of Annual Disturbance products, CBD also has capable fuels functionality. Capable fuels calculate 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.
