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...
Baseline Coastal Oblique Aerial Photographs Collected at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Field Research Facility, Duck, North Carolina, June 9, 2017 Baseline Coastal Oblique Aerial Photographs Collected at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Field Research Facility, Duck, North Carolina, June 9, 2017
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...
Mobile Harbor Navigation Channel Delft3D Model Inputs and Results Mobile Harbor Navigation Channel Delft3D Model Inputs and Results
The Delft3D model inputs and outputs of bed levels resulting from the simulations of proposed navigation channel deepening and widening in Mobile Harbor, Alabama, as described in USGS Open-File Report 2018-1123, are provided here. For further information regarding model input generation and visualization of model output elevations, refer to USGS Open-File Report 2018-1123.
Cold-water Coral Microbiomes (Primnoa spp.) from Gulf of Alaska, Baltimore Canyon, and Norfolk Canyon: Raw Data Cold-water Coral Microbiomes (Primnoa spp.) from Gulf of Alaska, Baltimore Canyon, and Norfolk Canyon: Raw Data
The files in this data release are the raw DNA sequence files referenced in the journal article by Goldsmith and others (2018) entitled "Comparison of microbiomes of cold-water corals Primnoa pacifica and Primnoa resedaeformis, with possible link between microbiome composition and host genotype." They represent a 16S rRNA gene amplicon survey of the corals' microbiomes (Primnoa spp.)...
Sedimentary Data Collected in April 2013 From Dauphin Island and Salt Marshes of Coastal Alabama Sedimentary Data Collected in April 2013 From Dauphin Island and Salt Marshes of Coastal Alabama
From April 13 to 20, 2013, scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (USGS SPCMSC) collected push cores and vibracores on Dauphin Island, Alabama, along with push and auger cores in salt marshes at several locations in southwestern coastal Alabama. This work, a component of the SPCMSCs Barrier Island Evolution Research (BIER) project, was...
Dauphin Island Storms and Sea Level Rise Assessment: XBeach Model Inputs and Results Dauphin Island Storms and Sea Level Rise Assessment: XBeach Model Inputs and Results
XBeach was used to simulate hurricanes Ivan (2004) and Katrina (2005) at Dauphin Island, Alabama, under present-day conditions and future sea level rise (SLR) scenarios as described in Passeri and others, 2018. Model inputs and outputs in the form of topography and bathymetry are provided here. For further information regarding model input generation and visualization of model output...
Post-Hurricane Gustav Coastal Oblique Aerial Photographs Collected from the Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana, to Isles Dernieres Barrier Islands Refuge, Louisiana, September 4, 2008 Post-Hurricane Gustav Coastal Oblique Aerial Photographs Collected from the Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana, to Isles Dernieres Barrier Islands Refuge, Louisiana, September 4, 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. Hurricane Gustav made landfall on the Louisiana...
Sr/Ca and Linear Extension Data for Five Modern O. faveolata Colonies from Dry Tortugas National Park, Florida, USA Sr/Ca and Linear Extension Data for Five Modern O. faveolata Colonies from Dry Tortugas National Park, Florida, USA
Strontium/Calcium (Sr/Ca) ratios act as a proxy for sea surface temperature (SST) in the skeletons of aragonite producing organisms, such as massive corals. The Sr/Ca-SST proxy shows promise when applied to single Orbicella faveolata colonies in the Atlantic/Caribbean regions, but it is currently unknown how well the Sr/Ca-SST proxy performs between colonies of this species. It is...
Hurricane Sandy Beach Response and Recovery at Fire Island, New York-Shoreline, Beach Profile Data, and Breach Shoreline Data, October 2012 to October 2017 Hurricane Sandy Beach Response and Recovery at Fire Island, New York-Shoreline, Beach Profile Data, and Breach Shoreline Data, October 2012 to October 2017
Fire Island, New York is the site of a long term coastal morphologic change and processes project conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). One of the objectives of the project was to understand the morphologic evolution of the barrier system on a variety of time scales (months-years-decades-centuries). In response to Hurricane Sandy (October 2012), this effort continued with the...
Coastal Single-Beam Bathymetry Data Collected in 2017 from the Chenier Plain, Louisiana Coastal Single-Beam Bathymetry Data Collected in 2017 from the Chenier Plain, Louisiana
As part of the Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority's Barrier Island Comprehensive Monitoring Program, scientist from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center conducted a nearshore single-beam bathymetry survey along the Chenier Plain, Louisiana from Marsh Island to Sabine Pass. The goal of the BICM program is to provide long...
Descriptive Core Logs, Core Photographs, Radiocarbon Ages, and Accretion Data from Holocene Reef Cores Collected Throughout the Florida Keys Reef Tract Descriptive Core Logs, Core Photographs, Radiocarbon Ages, and Accretion Data from Holocene Reef Cores Collected Throughout the Florida Keys Reef Tract
The USGS core archive (Reich and others, 2009; USGS Core Archive) houses an extensive collection of coral-reef cores that USGS researchers have collected from throughout the Florida Keys reef tract (FKRT; fig. 1).
