title: Wetland-Change Data Derived from Landsat Imagery, Assateague Island to Metompkin Island, Maryland and Virginia, 1984 to 2015

description: This data release includes geospatial datasets that were created to analyze wetland changes along the Virginia and Maryland Atlantic coasts between 1984 and 2015 as part of the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) Barrier Island and Estuarine Wetland Physical Change Assessment. Wetland change was determined by assessing two metrics: wetland persistence and land-cover switching. Because seasonal water levels, beach width, and vegetation differences can affect change analyses, only images acquired during the spring (March, April, and May) were included in the wetland-change metrics (N=10). USGS Data Series 968 presented data that were derived from Landsat 5 and Landsat 8 imagery from 1984 to 2014, including wetland and terrestrial habitat extents; open-ocean, back-barrier, and estuarine mainland shoreline positions; and sand-line positions along the estuarine mainland and barrier shorelines from Assateague Island, Maryland to Metompkin Island, Virginia. As part of the wetland-change analyses, 2 additional satellite images (17-April-1985 and 05-May-2015) were processed and classified using the methods described in Data Series 968 in order to provide a more complete time series. One additional image (26-April-1994) was reprocessed to correct a classification error that was identified by comparing wetland and total analysis extents among all images.

title: Shoreline Change Analysis of Coastal and Estuarine Shorelines in Barnegat and Great Bays, NJ: 1839 to 2012

description: Shoreline erosion is a significant issue for many coastal states, and as coastal populations continue to grow, these data will become increasingly important for managing coastal habitats and communities. The data presented here include compiled vectorized shorelines and transects with shoreline change rates for both estuarine and open-ocean shorelines in Barnegat and Great Bays, New Jersey. Shoreline change was calculated from digital vector shorelines acquired from historical topographic sheets, aerial photography, and/or lidar. Shoreline change rates are estimated from the shoreline position of multiple dated datasets utilizing the intersection with a perpendicular transect to the congregate shoreline. These analyses were conducted using the Analyzing Movement Boundaries Using R (AMBUR) package. For additional information on AMBUR, see Jackson, C.W., Jr., 2010, Basic User Guide for the AMBUR package for R, version 1.0a. Note: This data release was versioned on December 08, 2017.

title: Historical Shoreline for New Jersey (1971 to 1978): Vector Digital Data

description: This data release features a digitized historic shoreline for the New Jersey coastline (Point Pleasant, NJ to Longport, NJ) from 1971 to 1978. Imagery of the New Jersey coastline was acquired from the New Jersey Geographic Information Network (NJGIN) as two images: &amp;amp;quot;1970 NJDEP Wetlands Basemap&amp;amp;quot; (1971-78) and the &amp;amp;quot;1977 Tidelands Basemaps&amp;amp;quot; (1977-78). These images are available as a web mapping service (WMS) through the NJGIN website (https://njgin.state.nj.us/NJ_NJGINExplorer/jviewer.jsp?pg=wms_instruct). To reduce digitizing error, the imagery was acquired on a hard drive from the NJGIN via personal communication. Using ArcMap 10.3.1, the 1970 NJDEP Wetlands Basemap was used to delineate and digitize historical foreshore, backshore, mainland, and island shoreline positions, with the 1977 Tidelands Basemaps being used to fill in missing shorelines and clarify areas of uncertainty from the 1970s imagery. These shorelines were digitized for use in long-term shoreline and wetland analyses for Hurricane Sandy wetland physical change assessment.

title: Archive of Chirp Subbottom Profile Data Collected in 2015 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 September of 2015. 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 September 2015 offshore of the northern Chandeleur Islands, during USGS Field Activity Number 2015-331-FA. Data products including unprocessed digital chirp subbottom data, trackline map, navigation files, processed profile images, geographic information system (GIS) files, 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.

title: Single-Beam Bathymetry Data Collected in 2015 Nearshore Dauphin Island, Alabama

description: Dauphin Island, Alabama is a barrier island located in the Northern Gulf of Mexico that supports local residences, tourism, commercial infrastructure, and the historical Fort Gaines. During the past decade, Dauphin Island has been impacted by several major hurricanes (Ivan, 2004; Katrina, 2005; Isaac, 2012). Storms, along with sea level rise, present a continued threat to island stability. State and federal managers are taking a scientific, investigative approach to identify the best options available to formulate and implement a long-term plan to properly restore Dauphin Island and provide resilience against future storms and sea-level rise. Island morphology, including current bathymetry and shoreline data, is one of several aspects being investigated and funded through a grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation Gulf Environmental Benefit Fund. In 2015, the United States Geological Survey Saint Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (USGS SPCMSC), in cooperation with the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the state of Alabama, conducted bathymetric surveys of the nearshore waters surrounding Dauphin Island. This data release provides 1,165-line kilometers (km) of processed single-beam bathymetry (SBB) data collected by the USGS SPCMSC in August 2015 (Field Activity Number [FAN] 2015-326-FA).

title: Shorelines Extracted from Landsat Imagery: Ship Island, Mississippi

description: The deployment of Landsat and other earth-observing satellites within the last few decades has provided an opportunity to observe barrier islands at frequent intervals, often many times a year. A variable of persistent interest as a metric for coastal erosion or change is the shoreline. Shorelines derived from imagery have value to resolve coastal changes. This data release includes shoreline positions extracted from Landsat satellite imagery. The shorelines are released in shapefiles with both line and polygon feature types to support a variety of user needs. The data (lines or polygons) are released as individual shapefiles for each sample date and are also released as combined shapefiles with all dates, again to provide users of these data with more options for selecting data of interest. The methods used to identify the shorelines are presented in Guy (2015).
