1992 orthophoto mosaic Malakoff Diggins State Historic Park, California

One of the largest hydraulic mines (1.6 km2) is located in California’s Sierra Nevada within the Humbug Creek watershed and Malakoff Diggins State Historic Park (MDSHP). MDSHP’s denuded and dissected landscape is composed of weathered Eocene auriferous sediments susceptible to chronic rill and gully erosion whereas block failures and debris flows occur in more cohesive terrain. This data release includes a 1992 digital surface model (DSM), 1992 orthophoto mosaic, masked orthophoto of the study area, 1992 ground cover classification, and 1992 pruned DSM with the vegetation bias removed. Stereo-photogrammetry was used to create a 1992 digital surface model (DSM) and orthophoto mosaic from archived aerial photographs. These datasets can be used to map vegetation and topographic change and to quantify volumetric differences and estimate erosion rates by co-referencing and differencing the 1992 DSM from more recent bare earth digital elevation models. Any direct volumetric comparison using these datasets should consider the horizontal and vertical minimum thresholds of significance as well as vegetation bias. The original DSM was derived using stereo photogrammetry and includes all vegetation components. To facilitate topographic change analysis a pruned DSM was created. The vegetation bias was removed from the pruned DSM using a ground cover classification. It is recommended that the pruned DSM be used for any topographic or volumetric change analysis.

Attributes for NHDPlus Version 2.1 Reach Catchments and Modified Routed Upstream Watersheds for the Conterminous United States: Annual Average Temperature (Celsius) from 1945 - 2015

This tabular data set represents annual average temperature values (Celsius) described in Wolock and McCabe (2017), compiled for the NHDPlus version 2 data suite (NHDPlusV2) for the conterminous United States. Linkage of the temperature data with NHDPlusV2 is achieved through the common unique identifier COMID. The temperature values are estimated both for: 1) individual reach catchments and 2) reach catchments accumulated upstream through the river network. The reach catchment information characterizes data at the local scale, whereas the catchments accumulated through the river network characterize cumulative upstream conditions.  The network-accumulated values are derived using two methods: 1) divergence routing and 2) total upstream routing. Both approaches use a modified routing database (Schwarz and Wieczorek, 2017) to navigate the NHDPlusV2 reach network and to aggregate (accumulate) the metrics derived from the reach catchment scale.

Saturated thickness of the Madison aquifer, Black Hills, South Dakota.

This data set is a polygon coverage created in ARC/INFO that
represents the saturated thickness of the Madison aquifer, which
includes the entire thickness of the Madison Limestone and
Englewood Formation in the Black Hills area, South Dakota.  The
unconfined zone of the Madison aquifer is the area where the
potentiometric surface of the aquifer is below the top of the
formation.  The elevation of the top of the potentiometric
surface of the Madison aquifer was subtracted from the top of the
Madison  Limestone, and the boundary of the unconfined zone
was created where the calculation results equalled zero.
The saturated thickness of the aquifer in the unconfined zone
was determined by subtracting the elevation of the top of the
Deadwood Formation from the potentiometric surface elevation of
the Madison aquifer. The potentiometric surface and the tops of
the formations where determined from water levels and geologic
logs from selected wells drilled as of 1998. The thickness coverage
contains polygons that have single integer values representing
a range of thickness.

Marsh habitat change analysis for the Point Aux Chenes and Grand Bay Estuaries in Mississippi and Alabama from 1848 to 2022

Over time, as sea levels rise and land subsides, marsh transgression can occur. As shorelines erode and the marsh slowly transgresses landward into the upland, valuable coastal habitat simultaneously is lost and gained. If the shoreline erosion is faster than the rate of upland transgression, the result is a net loss in coastal wetlands. This dataset represents a marsh area change analysis for the Point Aux Chenes and Grand Bay estuaries in Mississippi and Alabama from 1848-1957/1958, 1848-2019/2022, and 1957/1958-2019/2022. Classified habitats are also included for 1848, 1957/1958 and 2022. Shoreline and upland boundary positional data were obtained from multiple data sources, including National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) topographic sheets (t-sheets) and WorldView 2 high resolution satellite imagery. Two dates were chosen for the 1957/1958 (henceforth referred to as 1957), and 2019/2022 (henceforth be referred to as 2022) to provide complete coverage. Shorelines and upland lines were converted into raster data (.tif) to calculate marsh habitat area change over time. This data release contains a raster data for 1848, 1957, and 2022, as well as change rasters for 1848-1957, 1957-2022, and 1848-2022.

Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2018 Site 0307 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 2018 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. Four previous assessments have been conducted (2005, 2008, 2012, and 2015/2016). Once the program creates enough data points for statistical analyses, these data will be used for land area change rate calculation.

Aerial photo mosaic of the Tillamook and Trask Rivers, Tillamook basin, Oregon in 1939

The Tillamook Bay subbasins and Nehalem River basins encompass 1,369 and 2,207 respective 
square kilometers of northwestern Oregon and drain to the Pacific Ocean. The Tillamook, Trask, 
Wilson, Kilchis, and Miami Rivers flow into Tillamook Bay near the towns of Tillamook and Garibaldi. 
The Wilson and Trask River basins cover the largest areas (500 and 451 square kilometers, 
respectively) whereas the Tillamook and Kilchis Rivers encompass similar sized areas (156 and 
169 square kilometers, respectively) and the Miami River the smallest area (94 square kilometers). 
In cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Geological Survey completed a 
reconnaissance-level assessment of channel condition and bed-material transport relevant to the 
permitting of in-stream gravel extraction along the the major alluvial portions of six river systems, 
including the lowermost 14.1 km of the Tillamook River, 16.3 km of the Trask River, 15.2 km of 
the Wilson River, 7.8 km of the Kilchis River, 11.6 km of the Miami River, and 31.4 km of the 
Nehalem River. To support these analyses, digital channel maps were produced to depict channel 
and floodplain conditions in the Tillamook Bay sub-basins and Nehalem River basin from different 
time periods. GIS layers defining the wetted channel and bar features and channel centerline in 
the study area were developed for four time periods: 1939, 1967, 2005, and 2009. For this project, 
the active channel was defined as area typically inundated during annual high flows, and includes 
the low-flow channel as well as side channels, islands, and channel-flanking gravel bars. The wetted 
channel and bar feature datasets were developed by digitizing from aerial photographs. Aerial 
photographs from 1939 and 1967 were scanned, rectified, and mosaicked for this project 
(See metadata for each photograph set for more information on the rectification process and 
resolution of each dataset). Digital orthophotographs from 2005 and 2009 are publicly available.

Assessing the Effectiveness of Nourishment in Decadal Barrier Island Morphological Resilience: Model Inputs and Outputs (Storm_4_Elevations_N)

Using version 5527 of the XBeach numerical model (Roelvink and others, 2009), barrier island morphological change was simulated at Dauphin Island, Alabama (AL), for a 30-year forecast of multiple storms and sea level rise, considering scenarios of no-action and beach and dune nourishment as described in Passeri and others (2021). The two-dimensional XBeach model can be applied to barrier islands to solve for time-dependent 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 topography and bathymetry 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 (2021).
