COW_Q10.TIF - U.S. Pacific West Coast EEZ GLORIA sidescan-sonar data mosaic (10 of 36) (TM, 50 m, NAD27)

In March 1983, President Ronald Reagan signed a proclamation establishing an Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of the United States extending its territory 200 nautical miles from the coasts of the United States, Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. territories and possessions. In 1984, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Office of Marine Geology began a program to map these areas of the EEZ. The U.S. Pacific Coast was the first EEZ region to be mapped and launched GLORIA (Geological LOng-Range Inclined Asdic) mapping program. The area covered by this survey extended from the Mexican to the Canadian borders and from the continental shelf edge, at about the 400-meter bathymetric contour, to 200 nautical miles from the coast. Survey of the U.S. Pacific West Coast EEZ was completed in four consecutive cruises conducted from late April through mid-August 1984. The collected GLORIA data were processed and digitally mosaicked to produce continuous imagery of the seafloor. A total of 36 digital mosaics of an approximate 2 degree by 2 degree (or smaller) area with a 50-meter pixel resolution were completed for the region.

UMRS Floodplain Inundation Depth Differences - Pool 17

Floodplain inundation is believed to be the dominant physical driver of an array of ecosystem patterns and processes in the Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS). A geospatial model of floodplain inundation described in Van Appledorn et al. (2021; doi: 10.1002/rra.3628) generates depth time series data for the UMRS floodplain extent. These depth time series data are typically generated from daily water surface elevations from three gaging locations along the mainstem of the Upper Mississippi River in Pool 17. However, due to missing data at the mid-pool gage location at Blanchard Island, this gage was not included in the analysis for 2009 - 2020. To understand the effect of excluding data from the mid-pool gage on modeled depth time series data, we generated depth time series data from 1990 - 1994 both with and without the gage, and compared the differences in simulated depths at select locations in Pool 17. The p17_depthdiff.csv file comprises the observed differences in depth under the two scenarios. It can be used to apply a post-hoc correction term to any depth time series data generated without the mid-pool gage, to understand the UMRS Floodplain Inundation model's sensitivity to mid-pool surface water elevation fluctuations, and other uses.

Sabine Refuge Marsh Creation (CS-28): 2015 land-water classification

The Louisiana State Legislature created the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in order to conserve, restore, create and enhance Louisiana's coastal wetlands. The wetland restoration plans developed pursuant to these acts specifically require an evaluation of the effectiveness of each coastal wetlands restoration project in achieving long-term solutions to arresting coastal wetlands loss. This data set includes mosaicked aerial photographs for the Sabine Refuge Marsh Creation (CS-28) project for 2015. This data is used as a basemap land-water classification. It also serves as a visual tool for project managers to help them identify any obvious problems or land loss within their project boundary. To better evaluate the effectiveness of restoration efforts, a land-water classification is performed on specific CWPPRA sites to help assess landscape changes.

Flood Inundation Depth for a Flow of 1,750 cfs (stage 13) at Gage 14211500, Johnson Creek near Sycamore, Oregon (sycor_13.tif)

The basis for these features is U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigation Report 2017-5024 Flood Inundation Mapping Data for Johnson Creek near Sycamore, Oregon. The domain of the HEC-RAS hydraulic model is a 12.9 mile reach of Johnson Creek from just upstream of SE 174th Avenue in Portland, Oregon to its confluence with the Willamette River. Some of the hydraulics used in the model were taken from Federal Emergency Management Agency, 2010, Flood Insurance Study, City of Portland, Oregon, Multnomah, Clackamas and Washington Counties, Volume 1 of 3, November 26, 2010. The Digital Elevation Model (DEM) utilized for the project was developed from LiDAR data flown in 2015 and provided by the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries. Bridge decks are generally removed from DEMs as standard practice. Therefore, these features may be shown as inundated when they are not. Judgement should be used when estimating the usefulness of a bridge during flood flow. Comparing the bridge to the surrounding ground can be more informative in this respect than simply looking at the bridge itself. Two model plans were used in the creation of the flood layers. The first is a stable model plan using unsteady flow in which the maximum streamflow is held in place for a long period of time (a number of days) in order to replicate a steady model using an unsteady plan. The stable model plan produced the areas of uncertainty contained in the sycor_breach.shp shapefile. The second is an unstable model plan that uses unsteady flow in which the full hydrograph (rising and falling limb) is represented based on the hydrograph shape of the December 2015 peak annual flood.  The unstable model plan produced the flood extent polygons contained in the sycor.shp shapefile and the depth rasters and represents the best estimate of flood inundation for the given streamflow at U.S. Geological Survey streamgage 14211500.

The Vigil Network: Drainage Area Number One, Wyoming

Long-term monitoring data of geomorphic, hydrological, and biological characteristics of landscapes. This information provides an effective means of relating observed change to possible causes of the change. Identification of changes in basin characteristics, especially in arid areas where the response to altered climate or land use is generally rapid and readily apparent, might provide the initial direct indications that factors such as global warming and cultural impacts have affected the environment. The Vigil Network provides an opportunity for earth and life scientists to participate in a systematic monitoring effort to detect landscape changes over time, and to relate such changes to possible causes. This data release includes 70 sites and basins used to monitor landscape features. This data release includes information for Vigil Network sites monitored in the United States. The data and information in this data release are historical and were obtained from original documents.

Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2021 Site 3054 land-water classification data

Wetland restoration efforts conducted by the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in Louisiana rely on monitoring efforts to determine the efficacy of these efforts. 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 398 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. A DOQQ is a raster image in which displacement in the image caused by sensor orientation and terrain relief has been removed and combines the image characteristics of a photo with geometric qualities of a map. The DOQQs generated for this project consist of 2021 Color Infrared (CIR) Digital Imagery. These images were classified into land and water categories using a threshold of the near infrared (NIR) band, followed by supervised and unsupervised classification.  Initial classification results are then reviewed by multiple image analysts to identify and manually recode errors. The final land-water classifications are intended to serve as both geographic and quantitative assessments of landscape composition on the date of acquisition. Five previous assessments have been conducted (2005, 2008, 2012, 2015/2016, and 2018). Once the program creates enough data points for statistical analyses, these data will be used for land area change rate calculation.
