This data release presents structure-from-motion (SfM) products derived from aerial imagery collected along the California coast as part of an ongoing effort by the USGS Coastal and Marine Hazards and Resources Program (CMHRP) Remote Sensing Coastal Change (RSCC) project. The products presented herein are point cloud and change detection products for 33 flights between January 2017 to...
Sediment grain-size data from the Klamath River estuary, California Sediment grain-size data from the Klamath River estuary, California
This data release includes grain-size measurements on sediment samples collected from the substrate surface and uppermost 10 cm of sediment deposits in the Klamath River estuary, northern California. Samples were collected using a BMH-60 bed-material sampler deployed from a boat, or by hand trowel from subaerial or shallow-water (less than 0.5 m water depth) regions along the estuary...
Oceanographic and hydrographic monitoring data of a shallow-water placement of dredged sediment in South San Francisco Bay, California, 2023-2025 Oceanographic and hydrographic monitoring data of a shallow-water placement of dredged sediment in South San Francisco Bay, California, 2023-2025
The U.S. Geological Survey Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center collected oceanographic and hydrographic monitoring data for a pilot project to place dredged sediment in bay shallows to nourish marshes conducted by the US Army Corps of Engineers, San Francisco District. Dredged material was placed in the shallows of South San Francisco Bay during December 2023. Monitoring spanned...
Satellite-Derived Shorelines for Five Groin Field Sites Across the United States Satellite-Derived Shorelines for Five Groin Field Sites Across the United States
This data release provides tidally corrected shoreline positions for five groin field sites of around the United States (Ventura, CA, Newport Beach, CA , Santa Monica, CA, Long Branch, NJ, Sandwich, MA). Both CSV files of tidally corrected shorelines and GeoJSON files of the region of interests (ROIs), transects, and reference shorelines are provided within respective zip files. Both...
Nearshore Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) profile data, Ofu, American Samoa, February 2020 Nearshore Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) profile data, Ofu, American Samoa, February 2020
Along-shore surface-based 2D electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) surveys were collected in the nearshore region of Ofu, American Samoa.
Nearshore seawater-column measurements of coastal groundwater discharge, Ofu, American Samoa, February 2020 Nearshore seawater-column measurements of coastal groundwater discharge, Ofu, American Samoa, February 2020
In-situ nearshore seawater measurements of dissolved radon and water level were used to determine the advection rate of groundwater onto the fringing reef off Ofu, American Samoa.
Estimates of percent sand in cores collected in San Francisco Bay, California from 1990-2016 Estimates of percent sand in cores collected in San Francisco Bay, California from 1990-2016
The sediment core data presented here were compiled for use in a project studying the amount of sand either released from or stored within the bed sediments of San Francisco Bay, California from the 1980s to 2010s. Estimates of the change in sand storage in the bed sediments could be used in larger San Francisco Bay sand budget and transports studies as well as to inform management...
Water and algal chemistry measurements collected from the National Park Service's National Park of American Samoa (NPS-NPSA) Ofu Island unit Water and algal chemistry measurements collected from the National Park Service's National Park of American Samoa (NPS-NPSA) Ofu Island unit
Geochemical analysis of coastal springs and possible source waters were conducted in the National Park Service's National Park of American Samoa (NPS-NPSA) Ofu Island unit. Water samples were analyzed for dissolved nutrients, nitrate isotopes (delta-18-O and delta-15-N). Algae samples were collected and analyzed for delta-15-N and delta-13-C values.
Charcoal and soil, water, and reservoir sediment-core chemistry in the North Fork Salmon Creek basin and Conconully Reservoir, Washington, 2022-2023 Charcoal and soil, water, and reservoir sediment-core chemistry in the North Fork Salmon Creek basin and Conconully Reservoir, Washington, 2022-2023
Charcoal counts and soil, water, and reservoir sediment-core geochemistry were characterized eight months after the November 2021 Muckamuck Fire in the North Fork Salmon Creek basin and Conconully Reservoir, Washington, the receiving water body. Parameters include sand-sized charcoal, Cesium-137, excess Lead-210, aqueous and solid-phase elemental chemistry, and polycyclic aromatic...
Nearshore bathymetry at Point Barrow, Alaska, 2022 Nearshore bathymetry at Point Barrow, Alaska, 2022
This data release contains nearshore bathymetry measurements collected at Point Barrow, Alaska in July 2022. These data were collected as part of an effort to monitor and forecast coastal flooding and erosion. They are also intended for reuse by scientists, managers, and the general public.
Topobathymetric digital elevation models - coastal Alaska (ver. 2.0, March 2026) Topobathymetric digital elevation models - coastal Alaska (ver. 2.0, March 2026)
This data release consists of a series of seamless topobathymetric digital elevation models (TBDEMs) for coastal Alaskan communities. Each TBDEM was assembled from best available, multi-source topographic and bathymetric elevation data collected at the time of processing. These products were created to support the development of dynamic flood models, but are also intended for reuse by...
In situ field data, Coastal Alaska, 2023 to 2025 In situ field data, Coastal Alaska, 2023 to 2025
These field data such as first floor elevation and bathymetric surveys were collected to support development of coastal mapping products and advance storm response and recovery in Alaskan coastal communities. The data consists of essential community infrastructure elevation data to better understand flood exposure and support analysis of flood mitigation solutions, bathymetric surveys to...
