Hydrographic Surveys of the Missouri River at Council chute, 2011-13

An Innerspace 456 single-beam echosounder in conjunction with a Trimble® differential Global Positioning 
System (DGPS), HYPACK® navigation software, and Ashtech Z-Xtreme and Trimble® R8 Global Navigation 
Satellite System (GNSS) receivers was used to survey 7 chutes and 3 backwaters on the Missouri River 
yearly from 2011-13. These chutes and backwaters are located on the Missouri River between Newcastle, 
Nebraska and Rulo, Nebraska in the States of Nebraska, Iowa, and Missouri.  Surveys of chutes consisted 
of topographic and bathymetric data collected along transects spaced 30.48 m apart from high bank to high 
bank.  Surveys of backwaters consisted of topographic and bathymetric data collected along a transect grid 
of 76.2 m spacing. The data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the U.S. Army 
Corps of Engineers (USACE) Omaha District as part of the Missouri River Habitat Assessment and Monitoring 
Program.

Geographic Locations of Seabed Sediment Samples from the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary Region (SB_SEDSAMPLES Shapefile)

The U.S. Geological Survey, in collaboration with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Marine Sanctuary Program, conducted seabed mapping and related research in the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary region from 1993 to 2004. The mapped area is approximately 3,700 square km (1,100 square nm) in size and was subdivided into 18 quadrangles. Several series of sea floor maps of the region based on multibeam sonar surveys have been published. In addition, 2,628 seabed sediment samples were collected and analyzed and approximately 10,600 still photographs of the seabed were acquired during the project. These data provide the basis for scientists, policymakers, and managers for understanding the complex ecosystem of the sanctuary region and for monitoring and managing its economic and natural resources.

LANDFIRE Remap Fuel Vegetation Cover (FVC) CONUS

The LANDFIRE (LF) 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. This new process considers all the existing disturbances included in LF Remap and adjusts the TSD for these to the effective year (2020 in this example), making the products "2020 capable fuels." More information about capable fuels can be found at https://www.landfire.gov/lf_remap.php.

Effects of Late Holocene Climate and Coastal Change in Mobile Bay, Alabama: ADCIRC Model Input and Results (Velocity_Residual_RS_PH)

Using version 52.30 of the ADvanced CIRCulation (ADCIRC) numerical model (Luettich and others, 1992), astronomic tides were simulated at Mobile Bay, Alabama (AL), under scenarios of Holocene geomorphic configurations representing the period of 3500 to 2300 years before present including a breach in the Morgan Peninsula and a land bridge at Pass aux Herons, as described in Smith and others (2020). The two-dimensional ADCIRC model can be applied to coastal and estuarine systems to solve for time-dependent hydrodynamic circulation and transport scenarios. For this study, the ADCIRC unstructured finite element mesh domain spans to the 60th meridian west in the Atlantic Ocean and has higher spatial resolution elements (20 - 100 meters (m)) along the northern Gulf of Mexico coast from Louisiana through the Florida Panhandle. The ADCIRC model setup requires the input of topographic and bathymetric elevations at each mesh node. Model inputs in the form of topography and bathymetry and model outputs in the form of water levels and velocities at each mesh node are provided in this data release. For further information regarding model input generation and visualization of model output, refer to Smith and others (2020).

Hillshaded relief image derived from elevations of the late-Wisconsinan regressive unconformity beneath the Massachusetts inner continental shelf between Nahant and Northern Cape Cod Bay (Urelevhs GeoTIFF Image; UTM, Zone 19N, WGS 84)

These data are qualitatively derived interpretive polygon shapefiles and selected source raster data defining surficial geology, sediment type and distribution, and physiographic zones of the sea floor from Nahant to Northern Cape Cod Bay. Much of the geophysical data used to create the interpretive layers were collected under a cooperative agreement among the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (CZM), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Coastal and Marine Geology Program, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). 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 seafloor geology are important first steps toward protecting fish habitat, delineating marine resources, and assessing environmental changes because of natural or human effects. The project is focused on the inshore waters of coastal Massachusetts. Data collected during the mapping cooperative involving the USGS have been released in a series of USGS Open-File Reports (http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/project-pages/coastal_mass/html/current_map.html). The interpretations released in this study are for an area extending from the southern tip of Nahant to Northern Cape Cod Bay, Massachusetts. A combination of geophysical and sample data including high resolution bathymetry and lidar, acoustic-backscatter intensity, seismic-reflection profiles, bottom photographs, and sediment samples are used to create the data interpretations. Most of the nearshore geophysical and sample data (including the bottom photographs) were collected during several cruises between 2000 and 2008. More information about the cruises and the data collected can be found at the Geologic Mapping of the Seafloor Offshore of Massachusetts Web page: http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/project-pages/coastal_mass/.

JPEG Images of seismic-reflection profiles collected in Lake Mohave in 2002

Lake Mohave is one of several multi-purpose reservoirs that have been constructed on the Colorado River.  The lake was formed upon completion of the Davis Dam in 1953. No mapping of the floor of the lake had been conducted since completion of the Davis Dam. The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with researchers from the University of Nevada Las Vegas, completed a geophysical survey of this lake in April 2002.  The survey included collection of sidescan sonar imagery of nearly the entire lake floor, and high-resolution seismic-reflection profiles along widely spaced lines throughout the lake.  The detailed mapping of the lake floor was used to determine the amount of sediment that had accumulated in the lake since impoundment, its distribution, and the processes of deposition.

HW3_Q70.TIF - Hawaii III - Northwestern Hawaii U.S. EEZ GLORIA sidescan-sonar data mosaic (18 of 22) (LCC, 50 m, WGS84)

In 1984, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Office of Marine Geology, launched a program using the Geological LOng-Range Inclined Asdic (GLORIA) sidescan-sonar system to study the entire U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). From 1989 through 1991, the USGS and IOS (Institute of Oceanographic Sciences, U.K.) scientists conducted several surveys within the EEZ off Hawaii. Six surveys during that time period focused on the northwestern Hawaii region. The results of these surveys were 22 digital mosaics of approximately of approximately a 2 degree by 2 degree area with a 50-meter pixel resolution.

Katrina_R2_elevation: Modeling the impacts of sand placement strategies on barrier island evolution in a semi-enclosed bay system: model input and results

Using version 5527 of the XBeach numerical model (Roelvink and others, 2009), barrier island morphological change was simulated at Little Dauphin Island, Alabama (AL) under different storm scenarios and restoration alternatives as described in Passeri and others (2025). The two-dimensional XBeach model can be applied to barrier islands to solve for time-dependent elevations (topography and bathymetry). The XBeach model setup requires the input of topographic and bathymetric elevations at each grid cell. Model inputs and outputs in the form of elevation at each grid cell are provided in this data release. For further information regarding model input generation and visualization of model output, refer to Passeri and others (2025).

OahuN_LT - Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) version 4.2 transects with long-term weighted linear regression rate calculations for the Oahu north region from Camp Erdman to Kahuku, Hawaii.

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.

Attributes for MRB_E2RF1 Catchments by Major River Basins in the Conterminous United States: Normalized Atmospheric Deposition for 2002, Ammonium (NH4)

This tabular data set represents the average normalized (wet) deposition, in kilograms per square 
kilometer multiplied by 100, of ammonium (NH4) for the year 2002 compiled for every MRB_E2RF1 
catchment of the Major River Basins (MRBs, Crawford and others, 2006). Estimates of NH4 deposition 
are based on National Atmospheric Deposition Program (NADP) measurements (B. Larsen, U.S. 
Geological Survey, written. commun., 2007). De-trending methods applied to the year 2002 are 
described in Alexander and others, 2001. NADP site selection met the following criteria: stations 
must have records from 1995 to 2002 and have a minimum of 30 observations.
		
The MRB_E2RF1 catchments are based on a modified version of the U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency's (USEPA) ERF1_2 and include enhancements to support national and regional-scale 
surface-water quality modeling (Nolan and others, 2002; Brakebill and others, 2011).
		
Data were compiled for every MRB_E2RF1 catchment for the conterminous United States covering 
New England and Mid-Atlantic (MRB1), South Atlantic-Gulf and Tennessee (MRB2), the Great Lakes, 
Ohio, Upper Mississippi, and Souris-Red-Rainy (MRB3), the Missouri (MRB4), the Lower Mississippi,
