Digital Surface Model representing Marconi Beach, Wellfleet, MA on March 22, 2023

The data in this release re-map the beach and nearshore environment at Marconi Beach in Wellfleet, MA and provide updated environmental context for the 2021 CoastCam installation that looks out at the coast shared by beachgoers, shorebirds, seals, and sharks. This is related to the field activity 2022-014-FA and a collaboration with the National Park Service at Cape Cod National Seashore to monitor the region that falls within the field of view of CoastCam CACO-02, which are two video cameras aimed at the beach. In March 2023, U.S. Geological Survey and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) scientists conducted field surveys to collect topographic and bathymetric data. Images of the beach for use in structure-from-motion were taken with a camera (SONY a6000) and a post-processed kinematic (PPK) system attached to a helium powered balloon-kite (Helikite). High-precision GPS targets (AeroPoints) and numbered black and white tarps were used as ground control points. Bathymetry was collected in the nearshore using a single-beam echosounder mounted on a surf capable self-righting electric autonomous surface vehicle. Agisoft Metashape (v. 1.8.1) was used to create a digital surface model and orthomosaic with the collected imagery.

Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2005, 2008, 2012, 2016 and 2018 Site 4110 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 five land-water products (2005, 2008, 2012, YYYY and 2018).  The resulting matrix has 32 possible classes defined by the combination of land and water categories on those five dates.

USGS Global Fiducials Library: 1999-2009

'A Fiducial site is a geographic location that is used as a benchmark for the long-term monitoring of processes, both natural and anthropogenic, associated with the causes and effects of global environmental change. The word fiducial carries multiple meanings with regard to the GFL. Fiducials are marks or points of reference applied to images to present a fixed standard of reference, so in the GFL they refer to the identification of a place on the Earth. The term fiducial may also be interpreted to refer to a long-term trust, where one may be holding something in trust for another. Both references aptly apply, as the GFL maintains a long-term record of data over specific places on the Earth to be available for scientific investigations. Fiducial sites are associated with Earth processes and environmentally sensitive areas that are being monitored so that scientists can better understand and model the dynamic systems and changes that are occurring. The sites are located around the globe and are distributed among environmental topics and processes within five major disciplines: Ocean Processes; Ice and Snow Dynamics; Atmospheric Processes; Land Use/Land Cover; and Geologic Processes.

Digital Elevation Model (DEM) from the Hydrologic Derivatives for Modeling and Analysis (HDMA) database -- North America

This dataset contains the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) for North America from the Hydrologic Derivatives for Modeling and Analysis (HDMA) database. The DEM data were developed and distributed by processing units. There are 13 processing units for North America. The distribution files have the number of the processing unit appended to the end of the zip file name (e.g. na_dem_3_2.zip contains the DEM data for unit 3-2). The HDMA database provides comprehensive and consistent global coverage of raster and vector topographically derived layers, including raster layers of digital elevation model (DEM) data, flow direction, flow accumulation, slope, and compound topographic index (CTI); and vector layers of streams and catchment boundaries. The coverage of the data is global (-180º, 180º, -90º, 90º) with the underlying DEM being a hybrid of three datasets: HydroSHEDS (Hydrological data and maps based on SHuttle Elevation Derivatives at multiple Scales), Global Multi-resolution Terrain Elevation Data 2010 (GMTED2010) and the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM). For most of the globe south of 60º North, the raster resolution of the data is 3-arc-seconds, corresponding to the resolution of the SRTM. For the areas North of 60º, the resolution is 7.5-arc-seconds (the smallest resolution of the GMTED2010 dataset) except for Greenland, where the resolution is 30-arc-seconds. The streams and catchments are attributed with Pfafstetter codes, based on a hierarchical numbering system, that carry important topological information.

Sagebrush Collaborative Restoration Landscapes to Support Management Efforts Improving Fire Resiliency and Restoration in the Sagebrush Biome

The sagebrush ecosystem spans over 175 million acres in the western United States, and is biologically, culturally, and economically significant to the country. Many disturbances including prolonged drought, pinyon-juniper encroachment, and cycles of invasive grasses and wildfire, pose significant threats to the resilience of the sagebrush biome. To conserve the sagebrush biome and promote community and economic sustainability, the Department of the Interior’s bureaus and offices are working together with many public and private partners to implement a “defend and grow the core” approach to conserve remaining intact sagebrush habitat and ecosystem functions, as well as restore other habitat types which are important to re-establish and maintain the sagebrush ecosystem. To aid in defending and growing the core, we conducted a spatial analysis of current (2017-2020) sagebrush core habitat and growth opportunity areas (Doherty et al. 2022) to identify areas of the sagebrush biome that have high ecological value, resilience to climate change, and existing collaborative partner capacities that facilitate delivery of on-the-ground actions (see "SCRL_Raster.tif"). Using our spatial analysis, we selected areas of the landscape using sub-watershed level polygons (Hydrologic Unit code 12 [HUC 12], Watershed Boundary Dataset) to aid in prioritizing strategic investments in conservation and restoration actions that will “defend and grow the core”. We asked for feedback from tribes, states, and federal resource management agencies to further refine the landscapes to areas of greatest conservation need and collaborative potential. We call these areas "Sagebrush Collaborative Restoration Landscapes" or SCRL (see "SCRL.shp" in SagebrushCollaborativeRestorationLandscapes.zip).

1 minute interval navigation points for the R/V GYRE cruise 97006 seismic tracklines (G97_1MNPTS.SHP)

Since 1982 the, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has collected a large amount of surficial and shallow subsurface geologic information in the deep parts of the Gulf of Mexico. These data include digital sidescan sonar imagery, digital seismic-reflection data, and descriptions and analyses of piston and gravity cores. The data were collected during several different projects that addressed surficial and shallow subsurface geologic processes. Some of these data sets have already been published, but the growing interest in the occurrence and distribution of gas hydrates in the Gulf of Mexico warrants integrating these existing data and associated interpretations into a GIS to provide regional background information for ongoing and future gas hydrate research.

Comparison of Acoustic Recorders and Field Observers for Monitoring Tundra Bird Communities in Northwestern Alaska

Acoustic recorders can detect the presence of birds and these detections may be used for the purpose of population abundance or estimation. This monitoring project compared the abundance of tundra-breeding birds detected through both acoustic monitoring and observational surveys. The data package is comprised of four tables: (1) habitat type, including vegetation height at sites where acoustic recorders and human observer point counts occurred, 2) bird detections obtained using the observer methods, 3) bird detections obtained using the acoustic monitoring method, and 4) taxonomy table of bird species detected during both observer and acoustic recorder survey methods.

Time Domain Electromagnetic Surveys Collected to Estimate the Extent of Saltwater Intrusion in Nassau and Queens County, New York, October-November 2017

During October-November 2017 twelve time domain electromagnetic (TDEM) surveys were collected in Nassau and Queens County. The data were collected to estimate the extent of saltwater intrusion in support of the Long Island Groundwater Sustainability Project in cooperation with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
In the TDEM method, an electrical current is run through a wire in a transmitter loop, which in turn produces a magnetic field.  The strength of the magnetic field is proportional to the strength of the electrical current.  The current is rapidly shut off and due to Faraday’s Law, a secondary current is induced.  The strength of the secondary current is proportional to the rate of change (dB/dt) of the magnetic field.  These induced currents travel into the subsurface and produce secondary magnetic fields that induce voltages in the central receiver coils.  Conductive bodies in the subsurface create higher induced voltages in the receiver coils (Fitterman, 1986).  The magnitude and decay of the voltages measured in the receiver coil are used to model a 1D sounding of resistivity with depth. 
TDEM data were collected using the ABEM WalkTEM acquisition unit.  Depending on the size of the site, one of the following transmitter loop geometries were used: 1) 40 by 40 meter square, or 2)100 by 100 meter square.  A central induction array was used where two receiver loops were set up within the transmitter loop: 1)A 0.5 by 0.5 meter square, and 2) a 10 by 10 meter square.  Due to the quantity of loops in each receiver coil, the effective areas were 35 square meters and 1400 square meters, respectively.  Two to three surveys were conducted at each site using various time-gate scripts in the WalkTEM unit and the data were filtered, stacked 10 times, and averaged.
This data release includes XML metadata, a site location map, the raw and processed TDEM data, and the inverted soundings showing resistivity (in ohm-m) with depth at the 12 survey sites in Nassau and Queens County.

Digital data sets that describe aquifer characteristics of the alluvial and terrace deposits along the North Canadian River from Oklahoma City to Eufaula Lake in east-central Oklahoma

This data set consists of digital aquifer boundaries for the
alluvial and terrace deposits along the North Canadian River
from Oklahoma City to Eufaula Lake in east-central Oklahoma.
Ground water in 710 square miles of Quaternary alluvial and
terrace deposits along the North Canadian River is an important
source of water for irrigation, industrial, municipal, stock,
and domestic supplies. The aquifer, composed of alluvial and
terrace deposits, consists of sand, silt, clay, and gravel. The
aquifer is underlain and in hydraulic connection with the upper
zone of the Permian-age Garber-Wellington aquifer and the
Pennsylvanian-age Ada-Vamoosa aquifer.
		
The aquifer boundaries were digitized from a published
ground-water modeling report and some lines were extracted from
published digital geology data sets.
