Esri Binary 2-m Bathymetric Grid of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Survey H12298 in Block Island Sound (UTM Zone 19, NAD 83, H12298_2M_UTM)

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), is producing detailed geologic maps of the coastal sea floor. Bathymetric and sidescan-sonar data, originally collected by NOAA for charting purposes, provide a framework for research and management activities along western Block Island Sound, show the composition and terrain of the seabed, and provide information on sediment transport and benthic habitat. During June 2013, bottom photographs and surficial sediment data were acquired as part of a ground-truth reconnaissance survey of this area. Interpretations were derived from the multibeam-echosounder, sidescan-sonar, sedimentary, and photographic data collected in Block Island Sound. For more information on the ground-truth survey see https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2013-005-FA.

Saturated thickness, High Plains aquifer, 2009

This raster data set represents the saturated thickness of the High Plains aquifer of the United States, 2009, 
in feet. The High Plains aquifer underlies approximately 112.6 million acres (176,000 square miles) in parts 
of eight States: Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming. 
The aquifer's saturated thickness ranges from near zero to about 1,200 feet (Weeks and Gutentag, 1981). 
Water-level declines occurred in parts of the High Plains aquifer soon after the onset of substantial irrigation 
with groundwater (about 1950) (Luckey and others, 1981). This data set was generated in ESRI ArcInfo 
Workstation Version 9.3, which is a geographic information system (GIS), using an aquifer base raster 
data set, saturated-thickness data from wells measured in 2009 and from some additional wells in New 
Mexico, which were measured in 2005 through 2008, and a published map of the aquifer's saturated 
thickness in 1980 (Weeks and Gutentag, 1981). For this data set, (1) areas that Gutentag and others 
(1984) delineated as areas of "little or no saturated thickness" and (2) areas, generally near the aquifer 
boundary, with interpolated saturated thickness less than zero were set to a saturated thickness of 10 feet.

Estimated Altitude of the Top of the Uppermost Unit of Fine-Grained Sediment within the Wood River Valley aquifer system, South-Central Idaho

This dataset is the estimated altitude of the top of the uppermost fine-grained sediment 
within the Wood River Valley aquifer system. This map was compiled by describing the 
estimated altitude of the top of the fine-grained sediment from about 160 well-driller 
reports for boreholes drilled within the area of the approximate extent of the confined 
aquifer. A surface was generated using kriging of the point data. This dataset was 
created in support of the third phase of a continuing U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 
study to assess the groundwater resources of the Wood River Valley, south-central 
Idaho. The first phase was documented in "Water-resource trends and comparisons 
between partial development and October 2006 hydrologic conditions, Wood River 
Valley, south-central Idaho" (Skinner and others, 2007), and the second phase was 
documented in "Ground-water budgets for the Wood River Valley aquifer system, 
south-central Idaho"(Bartolino, 2009). The third phase is a description of the 
hydrogeologic framework of the Wood River Valley aquifer system. The Wood River 
Valley contains most of the population of Blaine County and the cities of Sun Valley, 
Ketchum, Hailey, and Bellevue. This mountain valley is underlain by the alluvial Wood 
River Valley aquifer system. The entire population of the area depends on groundwater 
for domestic supply and rapid population growth since the 1970s has caused concern 
about the long-term sustainability of the groundwater resource.

EAARL Coastal Topography-Cape Canaveral, Florida, 2009: First Surface

A digital elevation model (DEM) of a portion of the eastern Florida coastline was produced from remotely sensed, geographically referenced elevation measurements cooperatively by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Kennedy Space Center, FL. Elevation measurements were collected over the area using the NASA Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar (EAARL), a pulsed laser ranging system mounted onboard an aircraft to measure ground elevation, vegetation canopy, and coastal topography. The system uses high-frequency laser beams directed at the Earth's surface through an opening in the bottom of the aircraft's fuselage. The laser system records the time difference between emission of the laser beam and the reception of the reflected laser signal in the aircraft. The plane travels over the target area at approximately 50 meters per second at an elevation of approximately 300 meters, resulting in a laser swath of approximately 240 meters with an average point spacing of 2-3 meters. The EAARL, developed by NASA at Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, measures ground elevation with a vertical resolution of +/-15 centimeters. A sampling rate of 3 kilohertz or higher results in an extremely dense spatial elevation dataset. Over 100 kilometers of coastline can be surveyed easily within a 3- to 4-hour mission. When resultant elevation maps for an area are analyzed, they provide a useful tool to make management decisions regarding land development.

Interpretations of the Surficial Geology from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Survey H11079 of Great Round Shoal Channel, MA (H11079_SURFGEOL.SHP, Geographic)

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (MA CZM), is producing detailed geologic maps of the coastal sea floor. Imagery, originally collected by NOAA for charting purposes, provide a fundamental framework for research and management activities along this part of the Massachusetts coastline, show the composition and terrain of the seabed, and provide information on sediment transport and benthic habitat. Interpretive data layers were derived from multibeam echo-sounder and sidescan sonar data collected in Great Round Shoal Channel, a passage through the shoals at the eastern entrance to Nantucket Sound, off Cape Cod, Massachusetts.  In June 2006, bottom photographs and surficial sediment data were acquired as part of a ground-truth reconnaissance survey.

AA_Q02.TIF - Aleutian Arc U.S. EEZ GLORIA sidescan-sonar data mosaic (2 of 31) (LCC, 50 m, WGS84)

During late July through September 1987 and June and July 1988 the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted four cruises to cover the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) region of the Aleutian Arc. As in earlier EEZ reconnaissance surveys, the USGS utilized the GLORIA (Geological LOng-Range Inclined Asdic) sidescan-sonar system to complete the geologic mapping. The collected GLORIA data were processed and digitally mosaicked to produce continuous imagery of the seafloor. A total of 31 digital mosaics of a 3 degree by 3 degree (or smaller) area with a 50-meter pixel resolution were completed for the region.

Topographic Lidar Survey of the Alabama, Mississippi, and Southeast Louisiana Barrier Islands, from September 5 to October 11, 2012 -- Classified Point Data

This Data Series Report contains lidar elevation data collected September 5 to October 11, 2012, for the barrier islands of Alabama, Mississippi and southeast Louisiana, including the coast near Port Fourchon.  Most of the data were collected September 5-10, 2012, with a reflight conducted on October 11, 2012, to increase point density in some areas.
Lidar data exchange format (LAS) 1.2 formatted point data files were generated based on these data. The point cloud data were processed to extract bare earth data; therefore, the point cloud data are organized into only four classes: 1-unclassified, 2-ground, 7-noise and 9-water.
Aero-Metric, Inc., was contracted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to collect and process these data.
The lidar data were collected at a nominal pulse spacing (NPS) of 1.0 meter (m).
The horizontal projection and datum of the data are Universe Transverse Mercator, zones 15N and 16N, North American Datum 1983 (UTM Zone 15N or 16N NAD83), meters. The vertical datum is North American Vertical Datum 1988, Geoid 2012 (NAVD88, GEOID12), meters.
These lidar data are available to Federal, State and local governments, emergency-response officials, resource managers, and the general public.
