COW_Q05.TIF - U.S. Pacific West Coast EEZ GLORIA sidescan-sonar data mosaic (5 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.

1-m interval contours of smoothed multibeam bathymetry in western Massachusetts Bay map Quadrangle 1 (Q1_1MCTR.SHP)

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.

MODFLOW-NWT model of groundwater flow in the Ozark Plateaus aquifer system, version 1.1

A previously developed groundwater flow model (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20185035) 
was modified and used as the primary tool to assess groundwater availability in the 
Ozark Plateaus aquifer system which is an important source for municipal, industrial, 
agricultural, and domestic water supply needs across much of southern Missouri and 
northern Arkansas, and smaller areas of southeastern Kansas and northeastern 
Oklahoma. The new model was developed to access changes in simulated hydrologic 
budget components at the regional scale to quantify hydrologic changes across the 
Ozark system. The model benefits current and future investigations that involve 
groundwater-withdrawal scenarios, optimization, particle transport, and monitoring 
network analysis. Recent short-term drought conditions have emphasized the need 
to better understand the delicate balance between abundance, sustainability and 
scarcity. The model also is critical to the ongoing work to quantify groundwater availability 
in the Ozark aquifer system. The groundwater model simulated 116 years (1900—2016) 
of historical hydrologic conditions, 45 years (2016-2060) of potential future hydrologic 
conditions, and the response of the groundwater system to changes in stress. Stress 
applied to the groundwater system included changes in recharge and increased 
groundwater withdrawals for water supply. Semi-seasonal stress periods were simulated 
from the later part of 1991 through 2060 to represent higher demand and lower recharge 
in the spring and summer months, and lower demand and higher recharge in the fall and 
winter months. Three scenarios were developed to simulate potential future conditions 
and assess the potential effects on the hydrologic system and availability of water 
resources. For each scenario, changes in water levels and hydrologic budget components 
were evaluated from predevelopment (1900) to present (2016), and 44 years into the future 
(2060). This USGS data release contains all of the input and output files for the model and 
the calibration and scenario simulations described in the associated professional paper 
(https://doi.org/10.3133/pp1854). This data release also includes 
(1) MODFLOW-NWT (v. 1.1.2) source code, 
(2) PEST++ source code, and 
(3) processing Python scripts and associated instruction files for parameter estimation 
and model calibration using PEST++.

Shorelines used to calculate shoreline change statistics from the Outer Cape Cod coastal region from Long Point in Provincetown to Monomoy Island, Massachusetts (OuterCapeCod_shorelines.shp)

Due to continued coastal population growth and increased threats of erosion, current data on trends and rates of shoreline movement are required to inform shoreline and floodplain management. The Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management launched the Shoreline Change Project in 1989 to identify erosion-prone areas of the coast. In 2001, a 1994 shoreline was added to calculate both long- and short-term shoreline change rates at 40-meter intervals along ocean-facing sections of the Massachusetts coast.
The Coastal and Marine Geology Program of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management, has compiled reliable historical shoreline data along open-facing sections of the Massachusetts coast under the Massachusetts Shoreline Change Mapping and Analysis Project 2013 Update. Two oceanfront shorelines for Massachusetts (approximately 1,800 km) were (1) delineated using 2008/09 color aerial orthoimagery, and (2) extracted from topographic LIDAR datasets (2007) obtained from NOAA's Ocean Service, Coastal Services Center. The new shorelines were integrated with existing Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (MA CZM) and USGS historical shoreline data in order to compute long- and short-term rates using the latest version of the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS).

Bathymetry--Offshore Bolinas, California

This part of DS 781 presents data for the bathymetry map of the Offshore of Bolinas, California. The raster data file is included in "Bathymetry_OffshoreBolinas.zip," which is accessible from https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/781/OffshoreBolinas/data_catalog_OffshoreBolinas.html. These data accompany the pamphlet and map sheets of Cochrane, G.R., Dartnell, P., Johnson, S.Y., Greene, H.G., Erdey, M.D., Golden, N.E., Hartwell, S.R., Manson, M.W., Sliter, R.W., Endris, C.A., Watt, J.T., Ross, S.L., Kvitek, R.G., Phillips, E.L., Bruns, T.R., and Chin, J.L. (G.R. Cochrane and S.A. Cochran, eds.), 2015, California State Waters Map Series — Offshore of Bolinas, California: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2015–1135, pamphlet 36 p., 10 sheets, https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20151135.
The bathymetry map of Offshore Bolinas, California, was generated from bathymetry data collected by California State University, Monterey Bay (CSUMB), by Fugro Pelagos, and by Moss Landing Marine Laboratory (MLML). Mapping was completed between 2004 and 2010, using a combination of 200-kHz and 400-kHz Reson 7125, and 244-kHz Reson 8101 multibeam echosounders, as well as 468-kHz SEA SWATHPlus and 250-kHz GeoSwath interferometric systems. Moss Landing Marine Laboratory mapped the nearshore region north of Bolinas in 2004 prior to the California Seafloor Mapping Program (CSMP). The nearshore region from south of Bolinas Lagoon to Stinson Beach was mapped by Fugro Pelagos in 2009 for a project outside of the CSMP and only bathymetry data were collected. These mapping missions combined to collect bathymetry from about the 10-m isobath to beyond the 3-nautical-mile limit of California's State Waters.
NOTE: the horizontal datum of the bathymetry data (NAD83) differs from the horizontal datum of other layers in this data series (WGS84). Some bathymetry grids within this map were projected horizontally from WGS84 to NAD83 using ESRI tools to be more consistent with the vertical reference of the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88). These data are not intended for navigational purposes.

Digital geospatial datasets in support of hydrologic investigations of the Colorado Front Range Infrastructure Resources Project

The U.S. Geological Survey developed this dataset as part of the Colorado Front Range Infrastructure Resources 
Project (FRIRP).  One goal of the FRIRP was to provide information on the availability of those hydrogeologic 
resources that are either critical to maintaining infrastructure along the northern Front Range or that may 
become less available because of urban expansion in the northern Front Range.  This dataset extends 
from the Boulder-Jefferson County line on the south, to the middle of Larimer and Weld Counties on the 
North. On the west, this dataset is bounded by the approximate mountain front of the Front Range of the 
Rocky Mountains;  on the east, by an arbitrary north-south line extending through a point about 6.5 
kilometers east of Greeley.  This digital geospatial dataset consists of saturated-thickness polygons 
that were generated with a Geographic Information System (GIS).

Hydrodynamic time-series data from Whale's Tail South marsh in Eden Landing Ecological Reserve in Alameda County, CA in 2021 and 2022

Hydrodynamic and sediment transport time-series data, including water depth, velocity, turbidity, conductivity, and temperature, were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center in South San Francisco Bay and in the Whale's Tail South marsh in Eden Landing Ecological Reserve in Alameda County, CA in 2021 and 2022. Data files are grouped by data type and season (summer and winter). At Bay sites, instruments were deployed on small quadpods. In the tidal creek, instruments were attached to grates mounted directly on the sediment bed. Marsh sites consisted of one transect of six stations perpendicular to the bay-marsh interface, and a second transect perpendicular to a tidal creek. Note that marsh stations were positioned fairly high in the tidal frame (close to the mean higher-high water elevation), so they were inundated less than 10 percent of the time. Instruments at the Bay stations were inundated most of the time but were subaerial at low tide. Data are only valid when the instruments were submerged. Users are advised to assess data quality carefully, and to check metadata for instrument information, as platform deployment times and data-processing methods varied.

Chandeleur Islands physical parameters data from field activities 12BIM01, 12BIM02, 12BIM05, and 13BIM06

Scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (SPCMSC) conducted a time-series collection of shallow sediment cores from the back-barrier environments along the Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana from March 2012 through July 2013. The sampling efforts were part of a larger USGS study to evaluate the effects on the geomorphology of the Chandeleur Islands following the construction of an artificial sand berm in response to the Deep Water Horizon oil spill. The objective of this study was to evaluate the response of the back-barrier tidal and wetland environments to the berm.
This report serves as an archive for sedimentological, radiochemical, and microbiological data derived from the sediment cores. Data is available for a time-series of four sampling periods: March 2012; July 2013; September 2012; and July 2013. Data is available in downloadable spreadsheet, Joint Photographic Experts Group and Portable Document File formats. Additional files included: ArcGIS shape files of the sample locations, detailed results of sediment grain size analyses, and formal Federal Geographic Data Committee (FDGC) metadata.

Interpretation of the distribution of Holocene low-amplitude sand ridges on the inner-continental shelf within the New York Bight, derived from seismic data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey, 1995 - 1999 (Esri polygon shapefile, Geographic, WGS84)

These data orginate from interpretations of seismic
reflection and sidescan-sonar data. The derivative data are in an
ESRI shapefile, polygon vector format and are intended to represent the
distribution of Holocene low-amplitude sand ridges ((fine sand) with
reworked, high-backscatter early Pleistocene coarse sand depositts in
the troughs) throughout the inner-continental
shelf within the New York Bight. These data are helpful in
understanding the stratigraphic evolution of the inner-continental shelf, the regional sediment
transport system, and the influence of the inner-shelf framework
on coastal processes.

Digital Bathymetric Grid and Associated Spatial Data Files for USGS Cruise 07CCT01

The Gulf Islands National Seashore (GUIS) is composed of a series of barrier islands along the Mississippi - Alabama coastline. Historically these islands have been undergoing long-term change. The devastation of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 prompted questions about the stability of the barrier islands and their potential response against future storm impacts. Additionally, there was concern from the National Park Service (NPS) about the preservation of the historical Fort Massachusetts, located on West Ship Island. Prior to 1969, Ship Island was an individual island. In 1969 Hurricane Camille breached Ship Island, widening the cut and splitting it into what is now known as West Ship Island and East Ship Island.
In July of 2007, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) was able to provide the NPS with a small bathymetry survey of Camille Cut using high-resolution single-beam bathymetry. This provided the GUIS with a post-Katrina assessment of the bathymetry in Camille Cut and along the northern shoreline directly in front of Fort Massachusetts. Ultimately, this survey became an initial bathymetry dataset toward a larger USGS effort included in the Northern Gulf of Mexico (NGOM) Ecosystem Change and Hazard Susceptibility Project.
