Baseline Coastal Oblique Aerial Photographs Collected from Tampa Bay to the Marquesas Keys, Florida, June 22-23, 2010 Baseline Coastal Oblique Aerial Photographs Collected from Tampa Bay to the Marquesas Keys, Florida, June 22-23, 2010
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 22-23, 2010, the USGS's NACCH project...
Sediment Data for Samples Collected in 2015, 2016, and 2017 from Coastal Louisiana Sediment Data for Samples Collected in 2015, 2016, and 2017 from Coastal Louisiana
This data release serves as an archive of sediment data collected in 2015, 2016, and 2017 from coastal Louisiana. In 2015 and 2016, sediment grab samples (N=874) were collected coast-wide along shore-perpendicular transects that included back-barrier, emergent (beach and barrier island), shoreface, and nearshore environments. Sample locations were selected to re-occupy as closely as...
Foraminiferal Data for Chincoteague Bay and the Marsh Deposits of Assateague Island and the Adjacent Vicinity, Maryland and Virginia Foraminiferal Data for Chincoteague Bay and the Marsh Deposits of Assateague Island and the Adjacent Vicinity, Maryland and Virginia
Foraminiferal samples were collected from Chincoteague Bay, Newport Bay, and Tom's Cove as well as the marshes on the back-barrier side of Assateague Island and the Delmarva (Delaware-Maryland-Virginia) mainland by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) researchers from the St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center in March, April (14CTB01), and October (14CTB02) 2014. Samples were also...
A GIS Compilation of Vector Shorelines Derived from Aerial Imagery for the Grand Bay Region of Mississippi and Alabama: 2010 and 2012 A GIS Compilation of Vector Shorelines Derived from Aerial Imagery for the Grand Bay Region of Mississippi and Alabama: 2010 and 2012
This data release features two digitized historical shorelines for the Mississippi (MS) and Alabama (AL) coastline (Pascagoula, MS to Point aux Pins, AL) from 2010 and 2012. The shorelines were heads-up digitized using ArcMap 10.3.1 from 0.5-meter (m) resolution orthorectified aerial photos sourced from the City of Mobile, Alabama (http://maps.cityofmobile.org/gis/gisdata_order.aspx) and...
Baseline Coastal Oblique Aerial Photographs Collected from Dauphin Island, Alabama, to Breton Island, Louisiana, July 26-27, 2007 Baseline Coastal Oblique Aerial Photographs Collected from Dauphin Island, Alabama, to Breton Island, Louisiana, July 26-27, 2007

Archive of Digitized Analog Boomer Seismic-Reflection Data Collected During U.S. Geological Survey Cruises Erda 92-2 and Erda 92-4 in Mississippi Sound, June and August 1992 Archive of Digitized Analog Boomer Seismic-Reflection Data Collected During U.S. Geological Survey Cruises Erda 92-2 and Erda 92-4 in Mississippi Sound, June and August 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...
Globorotalia truncatulinoides Sediment Trap Data in the Gulf of Mexico Globorotalia truncatulinoides Sediment Trap Data in the Gulf of Mexico
Modern observations of planktic foraminifera from sediment trap studies help to constrain the regional ecology of paleoceanographically valuable species. Results from a weekly-resolved sediment trap time series (2008-2014) in the northern Gulf of Mexico demonstrate that 92% of Globorotalia truncatulinoides flux occurs in winter (January, February, and March), and that encrusted and non...
Time-series Coral-cover Data from Hawaii, Florida, Mo'orea, and the Virgin Islands Time-series Coral-cover Data from Hawaii, Florida, Mo'orea, and the Virgin Islands
Coral reefs around the world have degraded over the last half-century as evidenced by loss of live coral cover. This ubiquitous observation led to the establishment of long-term, ecological monitoring programs in several regions with sizable coral-reef resources. As part of the of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) John Wesley Powell Center for Analysis and Synthesis working group "Local...
Benthic Foraminiferal Data from Sedimentary Cores Collected in the Grand Bay (Mississippi) and Dauphin Island (Alabama) Salt Marshes Benthic Foraminiferal Data from Sedimentary Cores Collected in the Grand Bay (Mississippi) and Dauphin Island (Alabama) Salt Marshes
Microfossil (benthic foraminifera) data from coastal areas were collected from state and federally managed lands within the Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve and Grand Bay National Wildlife Refuge, Grand Bay, Mississippi/Alabama; federally managed lands of Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge on Cedar Island and Little Dauphin Island, Alabama; and municipally managed land...
Benthic Foraminiferal Data from the Eastern Mississippi Sound Salt Marshes and Estuaries Benthic Foraminiferal Data from the Eastern Mississippi Sound Salt Marshes and Estuaries
Microfossil (benthic foraminifera) and coordinate/elevation data were obtained from sediments collected in the coastal zones of Mississippi and Alabama, including marsh and estuarine environments of eastern Mississippi Sound and Mobile Bay, in order to develop a census for coastal environments and to aid in paleoenvironmental reconstruction. These data provide a baseline dataset for use...
