Coastal Topography-Assateague Island, Maryland and Virginia, Post-Hurricane Joaquin, 26 November 2015

Lidar-derived bare-earth topography Digital Elevation Model (DEM) mosaic and classified point-cloud datasets were produced from remotely sensed, geographically referenced elevation measurements collected post-Hurricane Joaquin on November 26, 2015.

EAARL-B Topography-Big Thicket National Preserve: Canyonlands and Upper Neches River Corridor Units, Texas, 2014

These mosaics, prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center, provide lidar-derived first-surface and bare-earth topography for the Canyonlands and Upper Neches River Corridor Units of Big Thicket National Preserve in Texas. Elevation measurements were acquired by the second-generation Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar (EAARL-B) on January 11,

EAARL-B Topography-Big Thicket National Preserve: Menard Creek Corridor Unit, Texas, 2014

These mosaics, prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center, provide lidar-derived first-surface and bare-earth topography for the Menard Creek Corridor Unit of Big Thicket National Preserve in Texas. Elevation measurements were acquired by the second-generation Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar (EAARL-B) on January 21 and 22, 2014, in coopera

National Assessment of Hurricane-Induced Coastal Erosion Hazards: Gulf of Mexico Update

These data sets contain information on the probabilities of hurricane-induced erosion (collision, inundation and overwash) for each 1-km section of the Gulf of Mexico coast for category 1-5 hurricanes. The analysis is based on a storm-impact scaling model that uses observations of beach morphology combined with sophisticated hydrodynamic models to predict how the coast will respond to the direct l

EAARL-B Submerged Topography-Fort Lauderdale, Florida, 2014

These mosaics, prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center, provide pre- and post-calibration lidar-derived submerged topography for a portion of the submerged environs of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Elevation measurements were acquired by the second-generation Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar (EAARL-B) on April 21 and 22, 2014. The data were

EAARL Coastal Topography-Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana, 12-13 February 2011: Seamless (Bare Earth and Submerged)

This XYZ dataset, prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center, provides lidar-derived seamless (bare earth and submerged) topography for the Chandeleur Islands in Louisiana. Elevation measurements were acquired by the first-generation Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar (EAARL) on February 12 and 13, 2011. The data were collected as part of a s

EAARL-B Topography-Big Thicket National Preserve: Lower Neches River Corridor Unit, Texas, 2014

These mosaics, prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center, provide lidar-derived first-surface and bare-earth topography for the Lower Neches River Corridor Unit of Big Thicket National Preserve in Texas. Elevation measurements were acquired by the second-generation Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar (EAARL-B) on January 11, 15, 17, 18, 19, 2

EAARL Coastal Topography-Dauphin Island, Post-Hurricane Katrina, 2005

These datasets, prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center, provide lidar-derived first-surface and bare-earth topography for Dauphin Island, Alabama. Elevation measurements were acquired by the Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar (EAARL) during September 2005, immediately following Hurricane Katrina landfall.

EAARL Coastal Topography-Dauphin Island, 2010

These datasets, prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center, provide lidar-derived first-surface and bare-earth topography for Dauphin Island, Alabama. Elevation measurements were acquired by the Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar (EAARL) on July 24, 2010, one day before remnants from the dissipated Tropical Storm Bonnie came ashore.

Hurricane Sandy washover deposit data from southern Long Beach Island, New Jersey: Grain-size, elevations, and graphic core logs

Sedimentologic and topographic data from Hurricane Sandy washover deposits were collected from Southern Long Beach Island, New Jersey, in order to document changes to the barrier-island beaches, dunes, and coastal wetlands due to Hurricane Sandy and subsequent storm events. These data will provide a baseline dataset for use in future coastal change descriptive and predictive studies and assessment

Topobathymetric Lidar Survey of Breton and Gosier Islands, Louisiana, January 16 and 18, 2014

This dataset contains binary point-cloud data and a Digital Elevation Model (DEM), produced from remotely sensed, geographically referenced topobathymetric measurements encompassing the Breton Island and Gosier Islands, LA study area. The original area of interest was buffered by 100 meters to ensure complete coverage, resulting in approximately 75 square miles of lidar data. The Breton Island Li

Estuarine Shoreline and Barrier-Island Sandline Change Assessment

The Barrier Island and Estuarine Wetland Physical Change Assessment Dataset was created to calibrate and test probability models of barrier island sandline and estuarine shoreline change for study areas in Virginia, Maryland, and New Jersey. The models examined the influence of hydrologic and physical variables related to storm-derived overwash and estuarine shoreline change. Variables were calcul
