Coastal Land-Cover and Feature Datasets Derived From Landsat Satellite Imagery, Sabine Pass to Bay Coquette, Louisiana Coastal Land-Cover and Feature Datasets Derived From Landsat Satellite Imagery, Sabine Pass to Bay Coquette, Louisiana
This data release serves as an archive of coastal land-cover and feature datasets derived from Landsat satellite imagery from Sabine Pass to Bay Coquette, Louisiana (LA). A total of 179 images acquired between 2013 and 2024 were analyzed. Water, bare earth (sand), and vegetated land-cover classes were mapped using (1) successive thresholding and masking of the modified normalized...
Seafloor Elevation Change From 2017 to 2019 at Looe Key, Florida Keys—Impacts from Hurricane Irma Seafloor Elevation Change From 2017 to 2019 at Looe Key, Florida Keys—Impacts from Hurricane Irma
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center conducted research to quantify bathymetric changes at Looe Key Reef, Florida (FL) within a 26.59 square kilometer-area over the reef proper, and surrounding areas. USGS staff used light detection and ranging (lidar) data acquired by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in 2018 and...
Atlantic and Gulf Coast Sandy Coastline Topo-Bathy Profile and Characteristic Database Atlantic and Gulf Coast Sandy Coastline Topo-Bathy Profile and Characteristic Database
Seamless topographic-bathymetric (topo-bathy) profiles and their derived morphologic characteristics were developed for sandy coastlines along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the United States. The topo-bathy profiles are published as a database in the Hierarchical Data Format version 5 (HDF5) which contain cross-shore distance coordinates, Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate...
Archive of Digitized Analog Boomer Seismic-Reflection Data Collected in 1992 During the ERDA92-3 Survey Along the Texas-Louisiana Border Archive of Digitized Analog Boomer Seismic-Reflection Data Collected in 1992 During the ERDA92-3 Survey Along the Texas-Louisiana Border
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Coastal and Marine Hazards and Resources Program has actively collected geophysical and sedimentological data in the northern Gulf of America (Gulf of Mexico) for several decades, including shallow subsurface data in the form of high-resolution seismic reflection profiles (HRSP). Prior to the mid-1990s most HRSP data were collected in analog format as...
Pigmy Basin Cores MD02-2553 and PBBC-1 Foraminiferal Census Data Pigmy Basin Cores MD02-2553 and PBBC-1 Foraminiferal Census Data
Paleoceanographers use the distribution of planktic foraminifers in downcore sediment samples to estimate past oceanographic and paleoclimate conditions. In this data release, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientists provide foraminiferal census data (species relative abundance and raw counts) from cores taken in Pigmy Basin (located in the Gulf of America) aboard the research vessel (R...
Beach Profile Data Collected From Isla Verde, Puerto Rico Beach Profile Data Collected From Isla Verde, Puerto Rico
This dataset, prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (SPCMSC), provides beach profile data collected at Isla Verde, Puerto Rico. Data were collected from 2022-2024 on foot by a person equipped with a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver and antenna affixed to a backpack outfitted for surveying location and elevation...
Beach Profile Data Collected From Dorado, Puerto Rico Beach Profile Data Collected From Dorado, Puerto Rico
This dataset, prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (SPCMSC), provides beach profile data collected at Dorado, Puerto Rico. Data were collected from 2022-2024 on foot by a person equipped with a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver and antenna affixed to a backpack outfitted for surveying location and elevation data...

Sediment Data From Surface Samples and Sand Augers Collected in 2023 From the Northern Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana Sediment Data From Surface Samples and Sand Augers Collected in 2023 From the Northern Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana
In 2023, scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (USGS SPCMSC) conducted a sediment sampling survey at the northern Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana. Funded by the Extending Government Funding and Delivering Emergency Assistance Act (Public Law 117-43) enacted on September 30, 2021, these data complement sediment data from samples...
Carbonate Budgets, Structure-from-Motion Products, and Topographic Complexity Measurements From Restored and Non-restored Areas of Coral Reefs in the Lower Florida Keys Carbonate Budgets, Structure-from-Motion Products, and Topographic Complexity Measurements From Restored and Non-restored Areas of Coral Reefs in the Lower Florida Keys
During the summers of 2022 and 2023, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) researchers conducted underwater surveys aimed at quantifying the impact that past coral restoration by Mote Marine Laboratory had on the reef-accretion process. The surveys were conducted along paired transects representing restored and non-restored areas of eight offshore reefs and three patch-reef sites in the Lower...
Diver-Based Structure-from-Motion Imagery From Coral Reef Restoration Surveys in the Lower Florida Keys: July 2022 and July 2023 Diver-Based Structure-from-Motion Imagery From Coral Reef Restoration Surveys in the Lower Florida Keys: July 2022 and July 2023
During the summers of 2022 and 2023, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) researchers conducted underwater photographic surveys aimed at quantifying the impact that past coral restoration by Mote Marine Laboratory had on the reef-accretion process. A total of 39,840 non-georeferenced diver-based images were collected. The surveys were conducted along paired transects (approximately 10x2 meter...
Demonstrating the Effects of Subgrid Corrections in an Ocean-scale Hydrodynamic Model: Inputs and Outputs Demonstrating the Effects of Subgrid Corrections in an Ocean-scale Hydrodynamic Model: Inputs and Outputs
This data release contains model inputs and outputs of water level elevations resulting from deterministic simulations along the South Atlantic Bight (SAB), which extends roughly from Cape Hatteras, North Carolina to the Upper Florida Keys, Florida, USA. For further information regarding model input generation and visualization of model output topography and bathymetry, refer to Woodruff...
