Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2005, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2018, and 2021 Site 0234 land-water matrix

Wetland restoration efforts conducted by the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in Louisiana rely on monitoring to determine the efficacy of these projects. The Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) was developed to assist in a multiple-reference approach that uses aspects of hydrogeomorphic functional assessments and probabilistic sampling for monitoring. The CRMS program includes a suite of approximately 390 sites that encompass the range of hydrological and ecological conditions for each stratum. As part of CRMS, land and water classifications are created from Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quadrangles (DOQQs) approximately every three years at all CRMS sites. This dataset consists of a matrix of six land-water products (2005, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2018, and 2021).  The resulting matrix has 64 possible classes defined by the combination of land and water categories on those six dates.

Groundwater-level altitudes and long-term groundwater-level Changes in the Chicot, Evangeline, and Jasper aquifers, Houston-Galveston Region, Texas, 2020

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Harris‐Galveston Subsidence District, City of Houston, Fort Bend Subsidence District, and Lone Star Groundwater Conservation District produced this dataset of groundwater‐level altitudes and groundwater‐level altitude changes in the Chicot, Evangeline, and Jasper aquifers in the Houston‐Galveston region, Texas. This dataset documents current‐year (2020) groundwater‐level altitudes for each aquifer, 5‐year (2015‐20) groundwater‐level changes for each aquifer, long‐term (1990‐2020 and 1977‐2020) groundwater‐level changes for the Chicot and Evangeline aquifers, and long‐term (2000‐2020) groundwater‐level change for the Jasper aquifer. The groundwater‐level measurements from which the dataset were built are stored in the USGS National Water Information System (NWIS) (http://dx.doi.org/10.5066/F7P55KJN) and are accessible through the NWIS  Web Interface.  
In 2020, groundwater-level-altitude contours for the Chicot aquifer ranged from 150 feet (ft) below the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 to 200 ft above datum. Groundwater-level-altitude contours for the Evangeline aquifer ranged from 250 ft below datum to 200 ft above datum. Groundwater-level-altitude contours for the Jasper aquifer ranged from 200 ft below datum to 250 ft above datum. In each aquifer, the highest and lowest groundwater-level altitudes were measured in relatively small, isolated areas. This dataset was created by the U.S. Geological Survey to provide resource managers, public officials, researchers, and the general public with ready access to accurate, impartial, scientific information regarding groundwater‐level changes and altitudes in Harris, Galveston, Fort Bend, Montgomery, Brazoria, Chambers, Grimes, Liberty, San Jacinto, Walker, and Waller Counties, Texas.  
These digital data accompany a U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigation Report by Braun and Ramage (2020).

ElevMHW: Elevation adjusted to local mean high water: Monomoy Island, MA, 2014

Understanding how sea-level rise will affect coastal landforms and the species and habitats they support is critical for crafting approaches that balance the needs of humans and native species. Given this increasing need to forecast sea-level rise effects on barrier islands in the near and long terms, we are developing Bayesian networks to evaluate and to forecast the cascading effects of sea-level rise on shoreline change, barrier island state, and piping plover habitat availability. We use publicly available data products, such as lidar, orthophotography, and geomorphic feature sets derived from those, to extract metrics of barrier island characteristics at consistent sampling distances. The metrics are then incorporated into predictive models and the training data used to parameterize those models. This data release contains the extracted metrics of barrier island geomorphology and spatial data layers of habitat characteristics that are input to Bayesian networks for piping plover habitat availability and barrier island geomorphology. These datasets and models are being developed for sites along the northeastern coast of the United States. This work is one component of a larger research and management program that seeks to understand and sustain the ecological value, ecosystem services, and habitat suitability of beaches in the face of storm impacts, climate change, and sea-level rise.

Isopachs--Pigeon Point to Monterey, California

This part of DS 781 presents data for the sediment-thickness isopachs for the Pigeon Point to Monterey Bay, California, map region. The vector data file is included in "Isopachs_PigeonPointToMonterey.zip," which is accessible from https://doi.org/10.5066/F7N29V0Z.
As part of the USGS's California State Waters Mapping Project, a 50-m-resolution grid of sediment thickness for the seafloor within the limit of California’s State Waters between Pigeon Point and southern Monterey Bay was generated from seismic-reflection data collected in 2009, 2010, and 2011 (USGS activities (S-15-10-NC, S-N1-09-MB, and S-06-11-MB) supplemented with outcrop and geologic structure from DS 781. Isopach contours at 2.5-meter intervals were derived from this sediment-thickness grid.

GFLOW model used to characterize the groundwater resources of the Washburn Unit of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, Wisconsin

The model simulates two-dimensional groundwater flow and base flow in streams in the 
Washburn Unit of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest using the analytic element 
program GFLOW (Haitjema, 1995). Significant streams and lakes in the model domain 
are represented at varying levels of detail as linesink elements fully connected to the 
groundwater system. The highest level of detail is given to surface water features within 
the Forest Unit, while greatly simplified features around the perimeter of the model 
provide a boundary condition for the groundwater flow system. Groundwater discharge 
to the linesinks is computed, and routed through the surface water network as base 
flow. Recharge to the groundwater system was obtained from a separate soil-water-balance 
(SWB) model, which uses topography, soils, land use, and climatic data to estimate recharge 
as deep drainage from the soil zone. Estimated average annual recharge rates were supplied 
to the GFLOW model on a regular 1-km grid covering the model domain, using the Hybrid 
GFLOW-MODFLOW feature of GFLOW.
		
The model was calibrated to groundwater levels, interpreted lake stages, and estimated 
annual base flows in streams, \with an emphasis on data collected since 1970. Parameters 
representing hydraulic conductivity, groundwater recharge, and surface water bed-sediment 
resistance were adjusted using the parameter estimation program PEST, to produce 
simulated groundwater levels and base flow estimates that agree with field measurements, 
and input parameter values that are consistent with previous studies and the conceptual 
understanding of the area. This USGS data release contains all of the input and output 
for the simulations described in the published report, which can be found in the main 
directory of this data release.

USGS Benchmark Glacier Project Comprehensive Data Collection

Mountain glaciers are closely coupled to climate processes, ecosystems, and regional water resources. To enhance physical understanding of these connections, the USGS maintains a collection of glacier mass balance and climate data across the western United States and Alaska. In some cases, records of glacier mass balance extend back to the mid-1940s. These data have been incorporated from various sources, primarily original USGS studies, but also including work from the University of Alaska, and the Juneau Icefield Research Program (JIRP). The core of this collection is composed of mass balance data from the USGS Benchmark Glaciers. These five glaciers are Lemon Creek Glacier, AK (1953 -Present), South Cascade Glacier, WA (1958 - Present), Gulkana and Wolverine glaciers, AK (1966 - Present), and Sperry Glacier, MT (2005 - Present). Datasets from each benchmark glacier are composed of, at a minimum, point mass balances, glacier hypsometry, daily temperature and precipitation, geodetic mass balances, and glacier-wide mass balances. Data from other glaciers within this collection may be less complete, continuous, or representative as data from the benchmark glaciers. In these cases, we urge users to carefully inspect the associated metadata of each specific data release for further details.
