title: Projected Seafloor Elevation Along the Florida Reef Tract From Big Pine Key to Marquesas Key, Florida-75 Years From 2011 Based on Historical Rates of Mean Elevation Change

description: The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center conducted research to quantify the combined effect of all constructive and destructive processes on modern coral reef ecosystems by projecting future regional-scale changes in seafloor elevation for several sites along the Florida Reef Tract, Florida (FL) including the shallow seafloor along Key West, FL. USGS staff used historical bathymetric point data from the 1930's (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Office of Coast Survey, see Yates and others, 2017) and light detection and ranging (lidar)-derived data acquired in 2002 (Brock and others, 2006, 2007) to calculate historical seafloor elevation changes in the Upper Florida Keys (UFK) (Yates and others, 2017). Using those changes in seafloor elevation, annual rates of elevation change were calculated for 13 habitat types found in the UFK reef tract. The annual rate of mean elevation change for each habitat type was applied to a digital elevation model (DEM) extending from Big Pine Key to Marquesas Key, FL that was modified from the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) Key West coastal DEM (NOAA, 2011) to project future seafloor elevation (from 2011) along the Key West section of the Florida Reef Tract. Grid resolution for the DEM is 1/3 arc second (approximately 10 meters). Data were collected under Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary permit FKNMS-2016-068. For more information visit: Yates, K.

title: Cold-water Coral Microbiomes (Astrangia poculata) from Narragansett Bay: Sequence Data

description: The files in this data release are the DNA sequence files referenced in Goldsmith and others (2019), which represent a 16S rRNA gene amplicon survey of Astrangia poculata microbiomes completed using Sanger dideoxy sequencing. The coral samples were collected from Narragansett Bay (Fort Wetherill State Park, Jamestown, Rhode Island) in 2015 and 2016. Sequences were obtained by first extracting DNA from a fragment of each A. poculata sample comprising mucus, tissue, and skeleton. Bacterial DNA was amplified from all samples by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using primers 8F (5'-AGA GTT TGA TCC TGG CTC AG) and 1492R (5'-GGT TAC CTT GTT ACG ACT T) to target the 16S rDNA gene in bacteria. Archaeal DNA from two of the samples (FW1B8 and FW1W8) was amplified using primers 21F (5'-TTC CGG TTG ATC CYG CCG GA) and 958R (5'-YCC GGC GTT GAM TCC AAT T) to target the 16S rDNA gene from archaea. All amplicons were visualized on an agarose gel, extracted from the gel, quantitated, cloned into a vector, and used to transform competent cells. Inserts in positive transformants were sequenced by the Clemson University Genomics Computational Laboratory (Clemson, South Carolina). The sequences were processed by trimming vectors and ends, removing sequences less than 50 base pairs, checking for chimeras, classifying taxonomy, and removing unclassified, chloroplast, and mitochondrial sequences. After processing, 806 bacterial operational taxonomic units (OTUs) and 18 archaeal OTUs remained. Sequences representing each OTU have been deposited in the National Center for Biotechnology Information's (NCBI) GenBank archive and have been assigned accession numbers MK175495 through MK176300 (bacterial sequences) and MH915525 through MH915542 (archaeal sequences).

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

description: The effectiveness of nourishment in decadal barrier island morphological resilience was assessed using the XBeach model to simulate morphologic change over a 30-year period at Dauphin Island, AL, under scenarios of no-action and beach and dune nourishment, as described in Passeri et al., 2021. The 30-year simulation used a storm climatology developed for the region based on synthetic tropical cyclones and a moderate projection of future sea level rise. The initial (year 0) and final (year 30) model elevations (topography and bathymetry) are provided here, as well as the post-storm elevations from each event that was simulated (storm numbers correspond to the synthetic storm number). For further information regarding model input generation and visualization of model output topography and bathymetry, refer to Passeri et al., 2021.

title: Upper Florida Keys 1930s-2002 Seafloor Elevation Stability Models, Maps, and Tables

description: The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (SPCMSC) conducted research to identify areas of seafloor elevation stability and instability based on elevation changes between the 1930s and 2002 in the Upper Florida Keys (UFK) from Triumph Reef to Pickles Reef within a 234.2 square-kilometer area. USGS SPCMSC staff used seafloor elevation-change data from Yates and others (2017a) derived from an elevation-change analysis between two elevation datasets acquired in the 1930s and 2001/2002 using the methods of Yates and others (2017b). Most of the elevation data from the 2001/2002 time period were collected during 2002, so as an abbreviated naming convention, we refer to this time period as 2002. A seafloor stability threshold was determined for the 1930s-2002 UFK elevation-change dataset based on the vertical uncertainty of the 1930s historical hydrographic surveys and 2002 digital elevation models (DEMs). Five stability categories (which include, Stable: 0.0 meters (m) to plus/minus 0.24 m or 0.0 m to plus/minus 0.49 m; Moderately stable: plus/minus 0.25 m to plus/minus 0.49 m; Moderately unstable: plus/minus 0.50 m to plus/minus 0.74 m; Mostly unstable: plus/minus 0.75 m to plus/minus 0.99 m; and Unstable: plus/minus 1.00 m to Max/Min elevation change) were created and used to define levels of stability and instability for each elevation-change value (25,982 data points) based on the amount of erosion and accretion during the 1930s to 2002 time period. Seafloor-stability point and triangulated irregular network (TIN) surface models were created at five different elevation-change data resolutions (1st order through 5th order) with each resolution becoming increasingly more detailed. The stability models were used to determine the level of seafloor stability at potential areas of interest for coral restoration and 13 habitat types found in the UFK. Stability surface (TIN) models were used for areas defined by specific XY geographic points, while stability point models were used for areas defined by bounding box coordinate locations. This data release includes ArcGIS map packages containing the binned and color-coded stability point and surface (TIN) models, potential coral restoration locations, and habitat files; maps of each stability model; and data tables containing stability and elevation-change data for the potential coral restoration locations and habitat types. Data were collected under Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary permit FKNMS-2016-068.

title: Microbial Nutrient Cycling in the Upper Floridan Aquifer

description: Groundwater samples were collected from a South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) monitoring well at the discharge point of the Kissimmee River into Lake Okeechobee between 2018 and 2019. The groundwater source was the Upper Floridan Aquifer at approximately 1,000 feet below land surface (fbls). Samples were dosed with nitrogen, phosphorus, and carbon, then sampled over a period of time to quantify the rates at which the native planktonic and biofilm-associated bacteria removed these nutrients and either incorporated them into bacterial biomass and/or carbon dioxide. For further information regarding data collection and/or processing methods refer to the associated journal article (Lisle, 2020).

title: Archive of Chirp Subbottom Profile Data Collected in 2017 From the Northern Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana

description: As part of the Barrier Island Evolution Research Project, scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center conducted a nearshore geophysical survey around the northern Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana, in August of 2017. The objective of the project is to improve the understanding of barrier island geomorphic evolution, particularly storm-related depositional and erosional processes that shape the islands over annual to interannual timescales (1-5 years). Collecting geophysical data can help researchers to identify relationships between the geologic history of the island and its present-day morphology and sediment distribution. High-resolution geophysical data collected along this rapidly changing barrier island system can provide a unique time-series dataset to further the analyses and geomorphological interpretations of this and other coastal systems, improving researchers understanding of coastal response and evolution over medium-term time scales (months to years). This data release serves as an archive of subbottom profile and navigation data collected in August 2017 offshore of the northern Chandeleur Islands, during USGS Field Activity Number 2017-337-FA. Data products, including unprocessed digital chirp subbottom data, trackline map, navigation files, processed profile images, geographic information system (GIS) files and formal Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) metadata, and field logs are provided. For additional information regarding data acquisition and processing methods, refer to USGS Data Series 1077.
