Flow system boundary by D'Agnese and others (1997) for the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system study, Nevada and California

This digital data set defines the flow-system boundary encompassing the regional ground-water flow model 
by D'Agnese and others (1997). The boundary encompasses an approximately 50,000 square-kilometer 
region of southern Nevada and California, defined as the Death Valley region by Bedinger and others (1989; 
see Source Citation Information). The flow-system boundary is mostly a no-flow boundary resulting from 
physical barriers or hydraulic separation of flow regimes (ground-water divides or regional flow lines). D'Agnese 
and others (1997) used results from the evaluation of flow-system components, such as recharge, discharge 
and hydrogeologic framework, to develop the ground-water flow model of the Death Valley regional ground-water 
flow system (DVRFS) to support investigations at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, for the U.S. Department of Energy. 
The regional ground-water flow model was also the basis of development for a transient-flow model of an expanded 
DVRFS region that was completed in 2004 by the U.S. Geological Survey (see "Larger Work Citation", Chapter A, 
pages 7-8, for details).

Text Files of the DGPS Navigation Logged with HYPACK Software on U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Cruise 2011-006-FA from June 13 to June 21, 2011

The USGS, in cooperation with NOAA, is producing detailed maps of the seafloor off southern New England. The current phase of this cooperative research program is directed toward analyzing how bathymetric relief relates to the distribution of sedimentary environments and benthic communities. As part of this program, digital terrain models (DTMs) from bathymetry collected as part of NOAA's hydrographic charting activities are converted into ESRI raster grids and imagery, verified with bottom sampling and photography, and used to produce interpretations of seabed geology and hydrodynamic processes. Although each of the 7 continuous-coverage, completed surveys individually provides important benthic environmental information, many applications require a geographically broader perspective. For example, the usefulness of individual surveys is limited for the planning and construction of cross-Sound infrastructure, such as cables and pipelines, or for the testing of regional circulation models. To address this need, we integrated the 7 contiguous multibeam bathymetric DTMs into one dataset that covers much of Block Island Sound. The new dataset is adjusted to mean lower low water, is provided in UTM Zone 19 NAD83 and geographic WGS84 projections, and is gridded to 4-m resolution. This resolution is adequate for seafloor-feature and process interpretation, but small enough to be queried and manipulated with standard GIS programs and to allow for future growth. Natural features visible in the grid include boulder lag deposits of submerged moraines, sand-wave fields, and scour depressions that reflect the strength of the oscillating tidal currents. Bedform asymmetry allows interpretations of net sediment transport. Together the merged data reveal a larger, more continuous perspective of bathymetric topography than previously available, providing a fundamental framework for research and resource management activities off this portion of the Rhode Island coast.

DS-777 Average Annual Actual Evapotranspiration, 2000 to 2009, in inches estimated from the Simplified-Surface-Energy-Balance (SSEB) Model for the High Plains Aquifer in Parts of Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming

The water-budget components geodatabase contains selected data from maps in the, 
"Selected Approaches to Estimate Water-Budget Components of the High Plains, 1940
 through 1949 and 2000 through 2009" report (Stanton and others, 2011). Data were 
collected and synthesized from existing climate models including the Parameter-Elevation 
Regressions on Independent Slopes Model (PRISM) (Daly and others, 1994), and the 
Snow accumulation and ablation model (SNOW-17) (Anderson, 2006), and used in 
soil-water balance models to compute various components of a water budget. The 
methodologies used to compute the averages and volumes for the data in this 
geodatabase are slightly different for different components and models.

National Land Cover Database 2001 (NLCD01) Tree Canopy Layer Tile 1, Northwest United States: CNPY01_1

This 30-meter resolution data set represents the tree canopy layer for the conterminous 
United States for the 2001 time period. The data have been arranged into four tiles to 
facilitate timely display and manipulation within a Geographic Information System, 
browse graphic: nlcd01-partition.jpg.
		
The National Land Cover Data Set for 2001 was produced through a cooperative project 
conducted by the Multi-Resolution Land Characteristics (MRLC) Consortium. The MRLC 
Consortium is a partnership of Federal agencies (www.mrlc.gov), consisting of the U.S. 
Geological Survey (USGS), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), the U.S. Department of Agriculture 
(USDA), the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), the National Park Service (NPS), the U.S. Fish 
and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and the USDA 
Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). One of the primary goals of the project 
is to generate a current, consistent, seamless, and accurate National Land Cover Database 
(NLCD) circa 2001 for the United States at medium spatial resolution. For a detailed definition 
and discussion on MRLC and the NLCD 2001 products, refer to Homer and others (2004) 
and http://www.mrlc.gov/mrlc2k.asp.
		
The NLCD 2001 was created by partitioning the United States into mapping-zones. A total of 
68 mapping-zones browse graphic: nlcd01-mappingzones.jpg were delineated within the 
conterminous United States based on ecoregion and geographical characteristics, edge-matching 
features, and the size requirement of Landsat mosaics. Mapping-zones encompass the 
whole or parts of several states. Questions about the NLCD mapping zones can be directed 
to the NLCD 2001 Land Cover Mapping Team at the USGS/EROS, Sioux Falls, SD 
(605) 594-6151 or mrlc@usgs.gov.

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

Projections of coastal flood extents for Whatcom County, Northwest Washington State coast (2015-2100)

Projected flood extents associated with compound coastal flood hazards for future sea-level rise (SLR) and storm scenarios are provided for Whatcom County, Washington, in a series of shapefile files. Projections were made using a system of numerical models with atmospheric forcing, tides, sea level position and stream discharge driven by output from Global Climate Models (GCMs) from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5). The resulting computed coastal flood extents along the Whatcom County coast due to predicted sea level rise and future storm conditions consider the changing climate. In addition to sea-level rise, flood simulations run by these numerical models included dynamic contributions from tide, storm surge, wind, waves, and seasonal sea-level fluctuations. In the absence of concordant downscaled GCM stream discharge, daily average stream discharge was fed to the model. Outputs include flood extents from the combinations of SLR scenarios (0, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 and 5.0 m) storm conditions including 1-year, 5-year, 10-year, 20-year, 50-year and 100-year return interval storms and a background condition (no storm - astronomic tide and average atmospheric conditions). Predicted flood extents during the largest annual astronomic tides (King Tide) in combination with an average storm surge scenario are also provided.

HW1_Q28.TIF - Hawaii I - Southeastern Hawaiian Ridge U.S. EEZ GLORIA sidescan-sonar data mosaic (28 of 29) (LCC, 50 m, WGS84)

Survey of the southeastern Hawaiian Ridge was the fifth major segment of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) mapping program to have been initiated. Data acquisition for this region required approximately one-half year and were acquired during eight cruises over a four year period from 1986 through 1989, skipping 1987. At the conclusion of the survey 29 mosaics of a 2 degree by 2 degree were completed for the region. 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 twenty-seven digital mosaics of a 2 degree by 2 degree area and 2 mosaics of 2.25 degree by 2 degree with a 50-meter pixel resolution were completed for the region.

Assessing the Effectiveness of Nourishment in Decadal Barrier Island Morphological Resilience: Model Inputs and Outputs (Storm_71_Elevations_NA)

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).
