Underwater temperature data collected from off-shore coral reefs of the Florida Keys, U.S.A. (Version 2)

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Coral Reef Ecosystems Studies (CREST) project (http://coastal.er.usgs.gov/crest/) provides science that helps resource managers tasked with the stewardship of coral reef resources. Coral reef organisms are very sensitive to high and low water-temperature extremes. It is critical to precisely know water temperatures experienced by corals and associated plants and animals that live in the dynamic nearshore environment to document thresholds in temperature tolerance. This dataset provides underwater temperature data recorded every fifteen minutes from 2009 to 2016 at five off-shore coral reefs in the Florida Keys, USA. From northeast to southwest, these sites are Fowey Rocks (Biscayne National Park), Molasses Reef (Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, FKNMS), Crocker Reef (FKNMS), Sombrero Reef (FKNMS), and Pulaski Shoal (Dry Tortugas National Park). A portion of the dataset included here was interpreted in conjunction with coral and algal calcification rates in Kuffner et al. (2013).

Vectorized Marsh Shorelines derived from WorldView imagery for the Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve in Mississippi from 2013-2020

Shoreline change analysis is an important environmental monitoring tool for evaluating coastal exposure to erosion hazards, particularly for vulnerable habitats such as coastal wetlands where habitat loss is problematic world-wide. The increasing availability of high-resolution satellite imagery and emerging developments in analysis techniques support the implementation of these data into coastal management, including shoreline monitoring and change analysis. Geospatial shoreline data were created from a semi-automated methodology using WorldView (WV) satellite data between 2013 and 2020. The data were compared to contemporaneous field-surveyed Real-time Kinematic (RTK) Global Positioning System (GPS) data collected by the Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (GBNERR) and digitized shorelines from U.S. Department of Agriculture National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) orthophotos. Field data for shoreline monitoring sites was also collected to aid interpretation of results. This data release contains digital vector shorelines, shoreline change calculations for all three remote sensing data sets, and field surveyed data. The data will aid managers and decision-makers in the adoption of high-resolution satellite imagery into shoreline monitoring activities, which will increase the spatial scale of shoreline change monitoring, provide rapid response to evaluate impacts of coastal erosion, and reduce cost of labor-intensive practices. For further information regarding data collection and/or processing methods, refer to the associated journal article (Smith and others, 2021).

Farm Process (FMP) Parameters used in the Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM)

This digital dataset defines the farm-process parameters used in the transient hydrologic model of the 
Central Valley flow system. The Central Valley encompasses an approximate 50,000 square-kilometer 
region of California. The complex hydrologic system of the Central Valley is simulated using the USGS 
numerical modeling code MODFLOW-FMP.  This simluation is referred to here as the Central Valley 
Hydrologic Model (CVHM) (Faunt, 2009). Utilizing MODFLOW-FMP, the CVHM simulates groundwater 
and surface-water flow, irrigated agriculture, land subsidence, and other key processes in the Central 
Valley on a monthly basis from 1961-2003. The Farm Process parameters for Crops, Root Depth, Runoff, 
Pressure, Crop Coefficients (Kc), Transpiratory fraction of consumptive use (FTR), Evaporative fraction of 
consumptive use related to precipitation (FEP), and Evaporative fraction of consumptive use related to 
irrigation (FEI) are all tabulated.  More detailed descriptions of these parameters can be found in Schmid 
and others (2006b) and Faunt and others (2009). The CVHM is the most recent regional-scale model of 
the Central Valley developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).  The CVHM was developed as part 
of the USGS Groundwater Resources Program (see "Foreword", Chapter A, page iii, for details).

Umpqua River Oregon Active Channel 2005

The Umpqua River drains 12,103 square kilometers (4,673 square miles) in southwest Oregon before flowing 
into the Pacific Ocean at Winchester Bay near the city of Reedsport. In cooperation with the Portland District 
of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the USGS evaluated sediment transport and gravel storage 
along the downstream alluvial reaches of the North and South Umpqua Rivers and the entire mainstem 
Umpqua River. This includes the lower 46.8 kilometers (29.1 miles) of the North Umpqua River and the 
lower 122.6 kilometers (76.2 miles) of the South Umpqua River. 
		
The Umpqua River gravel transport study involved multiple analyses, including tracking patterns of historical 
channel change and estimation of a sediment budget. To support these analyses, digital channel maps were 
produced to depict channel and floodplain conditions along the Umpqua River system from different time periods.
		
GIS layers defining the active channel of the Umpqua River system were developed for three time periods: 
1939, 1967, and 2005. For the South Umpqua River and the 19 kilometers (12 miles) of the mainstem 
Umpqua River downstream from the confluence of the North and South Umpqua Rivers, GIS layers were 
also developed for the time periods 1994, 2000, 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 
active channel datasets were developed by digitizing from aerial photographs. Aerial photographs from 
1939 and 1967 were scanned, rectified, and mosaiced for this project. Digital orthophotographs from 1994, 
2000, 2005, and 2009 are publicly available (See metadata for each photograph set for more information 
on the rectification process and resolution of each dataset). Although our study area encompasses the 
Umpqua River and lower reaches of the North and South Umpqua Rivers, the extent of each dataset 
depended upon the underlying aerial photographs; for example, the 1967 photographs extend only as 
far downstream as floodplain kilometer 7, whereas the 1939 and 2005 datasets extend to the mouth 
of the Umpqua River at the Pacific Ocean.

Swath Bathymetry Sounding Data of Seven Rivers in Southwest Florida (2004) in XYZ format

During the past century, river and tidal creeks through the coastal wetlands of the Everglades have filled with sediment and vegetation of surrounding landscapes to the point that many have greatly diminished or disappeared entirely. Restoration plans are under consideration to redirect additional freshwater inflow from the Everglades to open and sustain these waterways to a level that closely resembles historic patterns. In the last 100 years, requirements for water supply and flood protection for urban areas and agriculture in South Florida have resulted in the construction of an extensive canal system to prompt drainage of water into the Atlantic Ocean rather than allowing seasonal seepage through the Everglades and Florida Bay. Water diversions and excessive nutrients and contaminants within the Everglades have decimated bird populations and driven the Florida panther to the brink of extinction. In Florida Bay, declines in sea grasses have resulted in decreasing water clarity, degradation of the food web, and resultant declines in fish populations. The data will be used for hydrodynamic modeling for determining MFL, and for PES scientific studies to improve society's understanding of the environment and assist in the sustainable use, protection, and restoration of the Everglades and other ecosystems within the Southwest region of Florida.
This report serves as an archive of processed swath bathymetry data that were collected in Little Shark, Broad, Harney, Huston, Turner, Chatham, and Lopez. All rivers are located within the boundaries of Everglades National Park in 2004. All rivers are located within the boundaries of Everglades National Park in south Florida. Geographic information system data products include a XYZ data set divided by rivers and USGS quadrangle boundaries. Additional files include formal Federal Geographic Data Committee metadata.

15-Minute Navigation for Seismic-Reflection Data Collected in Eastern Rhode Island Sound in 1975 (A75_6NAV_SORT.SHP)

During 1975, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted a seismic-reflection survey utilizing Uniboom seismics in eastern Rhode Island Sound aboard the Research Vessel Asterias. This cruise totalled 8 survey days. Data from this survey were recorded in analog form and archived at the USGS. Due to recent interest in the geology of Rhode Island Sound and in an effort to make the data more readily accessible while preserving the original paper records, the seismic data from this cruise were scanned and converted to TIFF images and SEG-Y data files. Navigation data were converted from LORAN-C time delays to latitudes and longitudes, which are available in ESRI shapefile format and as eastings and northings in space-delimited text format.

Digital Shoreline Analysis System version 4.3 shoreline intersection points used to calculate long-term shoreline change statistics for the Outer Cape Cod coastal region from Long Point in Provincetown to Monomoy Island (OuterCapeCod_intersects_LTw.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 in total length) 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 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).

Processed continuous resistivity profile data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in Great South Bay on Long Island, New York, on May 19, 2008

An investigation of submarine aquifers adjacent to the Fire Island National Seashore and Long Island, New York, was conducted to assess the importance of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) as a potential nonpoint source of nitrogen delivery to Great South Bay. More than 200 kilometers (km) of continuous resistivity profiling (CRP) data were collected to image the fresh-saline groundwater interface in sediments beneath the bay. In addition, groundwater sampling was performed at sites (1) along the northern shore of Great South Bay, particularly in Patchogue Bay, that were representative of the developed Long Island shoreline, and (2) at sites on and adjacent to Fire Island, a 50-km-long barrier island on the southern side of Great South Bay. Other field activities included sediment coring, stationary electrical resistivity profiling, and surveys of in-situ pore water conductivity. The onshore and offshore shallow hydrostratigraphy of the Great South Bay shorelines, particularly the presence and nature of submarine confining units, appears to exert primary control on the dimensions and chemistry of the submarine groundwater flow and discharge zones. Sediment coring has shown that the confining units commonly consist of drowned and buried peat layers likely deposited in salt marshes. Based on CRP data, low-salinity groundwater extends from 10 to 100 meters (m) offshore along much of the northern and southern shores of Great South Bay, especially off the mouths of tidal creeks, and beneath shallow flats to the north of Fire Island adjacent to modern salt marshes. Human modifications of much of the shoreline and nearshore areas along the northern shore of the bay, including filling of salt marshes, construction of bulkheads and piers, and dredging of navigation channels, has substantially altered the natural hydrogeology of the bay's shorelines by truncating confining units and increasing recharge near the shore in filled areas. Better understanding of the nature of SGD along developed and undeveloped shorelines of embayments such as this could lead to improved models and mitigation strategies for nutrient overenrichment of estuaries. For more information on the surveys involved in this project, see  https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2008-007-FA and https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2008-037-FA.
