Baseline Coastal Oblique Aerial Photographs Collected Dog Island, Florida, to Breton Island, Louisiana, June 24-25, 2008 Baseline Coastal Oblique Aerial Photographs Collected Dog Island, Florida, to Breton Island, Louisiana, June 24-25, 2008
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), as part of the National Assessment of Coastal Change Hazards project conducts baseline and storm-response photography missions to document and understand the changes in the vulnerability of the Nation's coasts to extreme storms and longer-term processes related to sediment supply and sea-level rise. On June 24-25, 2008, the USGS's NACCH project...
Coastal Bathymetry Data Collected in 2016 from the Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana Coastal Bathymetry Data Collected in 2016 from the Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana
The U.S. Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (USGS SPCMSC), collected single-beam and swath bathymetry data at the Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana in June of 2016. This USGS data release includes the resulting processed elevation point data (xyz) and an interpolated digital elevation model (DEM). For further information regarding data collection and/or...
Archive of Sediment Data from Vibracores Collected in 2016 from Fire Island, New York Archive of Sediment Data from Vibracores Collected in 2016 from Fire Island, New York
Researchers from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted a long-term coastal morphologic-change study at Fire Island, New York, prior to and after Hurricane Sandy impacted the area in October 2012. The Fire Island Coastal Change project objectives include understanding the morphologic evolution of the barrier island system on a variety of time scales (months to centuries) and...

Archive of Digitized Analog Boomer Seismic Reflection Data Collected During USGS Cruise Kit Jones 92-1 Along the Florida Shelf, July 1992 Archive of Digitized Analog Boomer Seismic Reflection Data Collected During USGS Cruise Kit Jones 92-1 Along the Florida Shelf, July 1992
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Coastal and Marine Geology Program has actively collected geophysical and sedimentological data in the northern 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 paper rolls of continuous profiles...
Subbottom and Sidescan Sonar Data Acquired in 2015 From Grand Bay, Mississippi and Alabama Subbottom and Sidescan Sonar Data Acquired in 2015 From Grand Bay, Mississippi and Alabama
Grand Bay Alabama and Mississippi were surveyed between May and June 2015, using an Edgetech chirp 424 subbottom profiler and a Klein 3900 sidescan sonar. The objective was to characterize the geologic framework of recent estuarine sediment accumulation in the bay. This data release includes the raw chirp subbottom Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG Y) data files, sidescan data...
Continuous Resistivity Profiling, Electrical Resistivity Tomography and Hydrologic Data Collected in 2017 from Indian River Lagoon, Florida Continuous Resistivity Profiling, Electrical Resistivity Tomography and Hydrologic Data Collected in 2017 from Indian River Lagoon, Florida
Researchers from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (SPCMSC) in collaboration with USGS Caribbean-Florida Water Science Center (CFWSC) and St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) investigated spatial variability of bulk resistivity in the Surficial Aquifer located along the Indian River Lagoon (IRL), Florida, USA. Continuous...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), as part of the National Assessment of Coastal Change Hazards conducts baseline and storm-response photography missions to document and understand the changes in the vulnerability of the Nation's coasts to extreme storms. On June 09, 2017, the USGS conducted an oblique aerial photographic survey of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Field Research Facility...
iCoast - Did the Coast Change? Crowd-Sourced Coastal Classifications for Hurricane Sandy iCoast - Did the Coast Change? Crowd-Sourced Coastal Classifications for Hurricane Sandy
On October 29, 2012, Hurricane Sandy made landfall as a post-tropical storm near Brigantine, New Jersey, with sustained winds of 70 knots (80 miles per hour) and tropical-storm-force winds extending 870 nautical miles in diameter (Blake, et. al, 2013). The effects of Sandy's winds and storm surge included erosion of the beaches and dunes as well as breaching of barrier islands in both...
