GULF - Coastal Vulnerability to Sea-Level Rise: U.S. Gulf Coast

The goal of this project is to quantify, at the National scale, the relative susceptibility of the Nation's coast to sea-level rise through the use of a coastal vulnerability index (CVI). This initial classification is based upon the variables geomorphology, regional coastal slope, tide range, wave height, relative sea-level rise and shoreline erosion and accretion rates. The combination of these variables and the association of these variables to each other furnish a broad overview of regions where physical changes are likely to occur due to sea-level rise.

Data to Support Stillwater Analyses

The U.S. Geological Survey New England Water Science Center, under an interagency agreement with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, conducted frequency analyses of stillwater elevations at three National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration coastal gages following the coastal floods of 2018. The datasets are comma-delimited files of period-of-record annual peak stillwater elevations collected at gages in Boston, Massachusetts, Portland, Maine, and Seavey Island, Maine, for analysis of annual-exceedence probabilities. The peak water-surface elevations are in feet in the North American Vertical Datum of 1988.

Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2021 Site 0463 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.

September 2007 Northern Gulf of Mexico USGS EAARL Lidar-Derived Dune Crest, Toe and Shoreline

The Storm-Induced Coastal Change Hazards component of the National Assessment of Coastal Change Hazards project focuses on understanding the magnitude and variability of extreme storm impacts on sandy beaches. Lidar-derived beach morphologic features such as dune crest, toe and shoreline help define the vulnerability of the beach to storm impacts. This dataset defines the elevation and position of the seaward-most dune crest and toe and the mean high water shoreline derived from the 2007 Northern Gulf of Mexico (Mississippi and Alabama) U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar (EAARL) lidar survey. Beach width is included and is defined as the distance between the dune toe and shoreline along a cross-shore profile. The beach slope is calculated using this beach width and the elevation of the shoreline and dune toe.

Data from two bathymetric surveys of the Sandusky River near Bradys Island, Fremont, Ohio, March 2023 and May 2024

As part of the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) project template 774-GC10 entitled, “Characterization of hydrology and sediment mobility to inform design and implementation of a seasonal barrier to disrupt invasive grass carp reproduction in the Sandusky River near Brady’s Island, Ohio”, two bathymetric surveys of the Sandusky River from the Hayes Avenue bridge to the Ohio State Route 6 bridge were completed. The first survey was done by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) on March 1, 2023 and the second was started on May 29, 2024 and was completed May 30, 2024. These data were collected to inform the feasibility of potentially installing a grass carp deterrent barrier on the Sandusky River near Bradys Island in Fremont, Ohio. 
The surveys consisted of measuring bathymetry at cross sections, spaced approximately 200 feet apart, and a streamwise transit of the study section.  Surveys were completed using a manned survey vessel with a two-person survey crew. All data were georeferenced using a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver mounted on the survey vessel. Depths were measured using a Teledyne RD Instruments RiverPro acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) deployed on a fixed mount from the survey vessel. Data were processed first in Teledyne RD Instrument's WinRiver II (TRDI, 2023) and then using the Velocity Mapping Toolbox's bathymetry batch mode (Parsons and others, 2012). The Velocity Mapping Toolbox exports the bathymetry data from the four individual beams of the ADCP, corrected for heading, pitch, and roll.

Water-quality and streamflow datasets used for estimating loads considered for use in the 2002 Midcontinent nutrient SPARROW models, United States and Canada, 1970-2012

The United States Geological Survey’s (USGS) SPAtially Referenced Regressions On Watershed attributes (SPARROW) model was developed to aid in the interpretation of monitoring data and simulate water-quality conditions in streams across large spatial scales.  SPARROW is a hybrid empirical⁄process-based mass balance model that can be used to estimate the major sources and environmental factors that affect the long-term supply, transport, and fate of contaminants in streams. The spatially explicit model structure is defined by a river reach network coupled with contributing catchments. The model is calibrated by statistically relating watershed sources and transport-related properties to monitoring-based water-quality load estimates.  Load estimates used in recent Midcontinent SPARROW model applications (2002 base year) are described in Saad and others, 2018 (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20185051).  Load estimation methods described in this report include the Beale Ratio Estimator and Fluxmaster models.  This USGS data release, prepared in cooperation with the International Joint Commission, contains all of the input and output files necessary to reproduce the load estimates considered for inclusion in the 2002 Midcontinent SPARROW models.  Data preparation for input to the load estimation models is also fully described in the above-mentioned report.

Data Pertaining to Mapping the Approximate Inland Extent of Saltwater at the Base of the Biscayne Aquifer in Miami-Dade County, Florida, 2018

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with Miami-Dade County, mapped the approximate inland extent of saltwater intrusion in eastern Miami-Dade County in 2018. This approximation required acquisition and compilation of relevant data collected by the organizations: Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority (FKAA), Florida Power &amp; Light Company (FPL), MacVicar Consulting Inc., Miami-Dade County Regulatory and Economic Resources (MD-RER), the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), and the USGS. Data from the selected monitoring wells were entered into a geographic information system (GIS) for analysis and mapping. The approximate saltwater interface is represented by the 1,000-mg/L isochlor at the base of the Biscayne aquifer. The word “approximate” is used because the spatial distribution of monitoring wells is generally insufficient to create a precise representation.

Bathymetry of the Main Pool of Lake Calumet, Cook County, Illinois, July 2023

These data are single-beam bathymetry points compiled in comma separated values (CSV) file format, generated from a hydrographic survey of the northern portion of Lake Calumet in Cook County, Illinois. Hydrographic data were collected July 18-19, 2023, using a single-beam echosounder (SBES) integrated with a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) mounted on a marine survey vessel. Surface water elevation data were collected July 18 utilizing a single-base real-time kinematic (RTK)/GNSS unit. Bathymetric data points were collected as the vessel traversed the northern portions of the lake along overlapping survey lines. The SBES internally collected and stored the depth data from the echosounder and the horizontal and vertical position data of the vessel from the GNSS in real time. Data processing required specialized computer software to export bathymetry data from the raw data files. A Python script was written to calculate the lakebed elevations and identify outliers in the dataset.
These data are provided in comma separated values (CSV) format as LakeCalumet_SBES_20230718.csv. Data points are stored as a series of x (longitude), y (latitude), and z (elevation or depth) points along with variable length records specific to the data transects.

Grid of the sea-floor bathymetry southwest of Montauk Point, New York, in 1998 (3-m resolution Esri binary grid, Mercator, WGS 84)

Surveys of the bathymetry and backscatter intensity of the sea floor south of Long Island, New York, were carried out in November 1998 using a Simrad EM1000 multibeam echosounder mounted on the Canadian Coast Guard ship Frederick G. Creed. The purpose of the multibeam echosounder surveys was to explore the bathymetry and backscatter intensity of the sea floor in several areas off the southern coast of Long Island along the 20-meter isobath. Survey areas offshore of Fire Island Inlet, Moriches Inlet, Shinnecock Inlet, and southwest of Montauk Point were about 1 kilometer (km) wide and 10 km long. The area was mapped by the U.S. Geological Survey with support from the Canadian Hydrographic Service and the University of New Brunswick.

Topographic point cloud for the intertidal zone at Lone Tree Point, Kiket Bay, WA, 2019-06-05

This portion of the data release presents a topographic point cloud of the intertidal zone at Lone Tree Point, Kiket Bay, WA. The point cloud was derived from structure-from-motion (SfM) processing of aerial imagery collected with an unmanned aerial system (UAS) on 2019-06-05. The point cloud has 206,323,353 points with an average point density of 929 points per-square meter. The point cloud is tiled to reduce individual file sizes and is grouped within a zip file for downloading. Each point in the point cloud contains an explicit horizontal and vertical coordinate, color, intensity, and classification. Water portions of the point cloud were classified using a polygon digitized from the orthomosaic imagery derived from these surveys (also available in this data release). No other classifications were performed. The raw imagery used to create these point clouds was acquired using a UAS fitted with a Ricoh GR II digital camera featuring a global shutter. The UAS was flown on pre-programmed autonomous flight lines spaced to provide approximately 70 percent overlap between images from adjacent lines. The camera was triggered at 1 Hz using a built-in intervalometer. The UAS was flown at an approximate altitude of 70 meters above ground level (AGL), resulting in a nominal ground-sample-distance (GSD) of 1.8 centimeters per pixel. The raw imagery was geotagged using positions from the UAS onboard single-frequency autonomous GPS. Eighteen temporary ground control points (GCPs) were distributed throughout the survey area to establish survey control. The GCPs consisted of a combination of small square tarps with black-and-white cross patterns and "X" marks placed on the ground using temporary chalk. The GCP positions were measured using post-processed kinematic (PPK) GPS, using corrections from a GPS base station located approximately 16 kilometers from the study area. The point clouds are formatted in LAZ format (LAS 1.2 specification).

Data on Produced Water Quality and Quantities from Hydraulically Fractured Williston Basin Oil Wells

This dataset contains compositional data on 17 produced water samples from hydraulically fractured unconventional oil wells completed in the Middle Bakken and Three Forks Formations.  The oil wells are  located in five different wellfields across the Williston Basin.  Specific gravity, conductivity, temperature, pH and oxidation-reduction potential for each sample was measured in the field.  Ions (B, Li, Cl, Na, Br),  biomarkers (Pristane /n-C17 and Phytane /n-C18), glycol ether compounds, major ions, as well as radium (Ra-228/Ra-226), boron (δ11B), oxygen (δ18O) and hydrogen (δ2H) isotopic ratios were analyzed in the lab. Well profiles are provided to increase understanding of the produced waters compositions in the context of the depth of the well, age of the well, the time since hydraulic fracturing, the amounts of water injected and produced since hydraulic fracturing, the hydraulic fracturing treatment fluid types injected.

DisMOSH, Cost, MOSHShoreline: Distance to foraging areas for piping plovers (foraging shoreline, cost mask, and least-cost path distance): Rockaway Peninsula, NY, 2012

Understanding how sea-level rise will affect coastal landforms and the species and habitats they support is critical for crafting approaches that balance the needs of humans and native species. Given this increasing need to forecast sea-level rise effects on barrier islands in the near and long terms, we are developing Bayesian networks to evaluate and to forecast the cascading effects of sea-level rise on shoreline change, barrier island state, and piping plover habitat availability. We use publicly available data products, such as lidar, orthophotography, and geomorphic feature sets derived from those, to extract metrics of barrier island characteristics at consistent sampling distances. The metrics are then incorporated into predictive models and the training data used to parameterize those models. This data release contains the extracted metrics of barrier island geomorphology and spatial data layers of habitat characteristics that are input to Bayesian networks for piping plover habitat availability and barrier island geomorphology. These datasets and models are being developed for sites along the northeastern coast of the United States. This work is one component of a larger research and management program that seeks to understand and sustain the ecological value, ecosystem services, and habitat suitability of beaches in the face of storm impacts, climate change, and sea-level rise.
