Archive of Digitized Analog Boomer and Minisparker Seismic Reflection Data Collected from the Northern Gulf of Mexico, 1981, 1990 and 1991 Archive of Digitized Analog Boomer and Minisparker Seismic Reflection Data Collected from the Northern Gulf of Mexico, 1981, 1990 and 1991
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...
Total Water Level and Coastal Change Forecast Viewer Total Water Level and Coastal Change Forecast Viewer
Total water level (TWL) at the shoreline is the combination of tides, surge, and wave runup. A forecast of TWL is an estimate of the elevation where the ocean will meet the coast and can provide guidance on potential coastal erosion and flooding hazards.

Archive of Chirp Subbottom Profile Data Collected in 2015 From the Northern Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana Archive of Chirp Subbottom Profile Data Collected in 2015 From the Northern Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana
As part of the Barrier Island Evolution Research Project, scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center conducted a nearshore geophysical survey around the northern Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana, in September of 2015. The objective of the project is to improve the understanding of barrier island geomorphic evolution, particularly storm...
Shallow ATRIS (sATRIS) Images-Dry Tortugas National Park, Florida, 2011 Shallow ATRIS (sATRIS) Images-Dry Tortugas National Park, Florida, 2011
Underwater digital images, single-beam bathymetry, and global positioning system (GPS) data were collected July 13 to July 17, 2011 within Dry Tortugas National Park, FL, USA. A total of 272,828 images of the seafloor and water column were collected along pre-defined transect lines and organized into 14 sets: track1, track2, track3, track4, track5, track6, track7, track8, track9, track10
Coastal Topography-Upper Florida Keys Reef Tract, Florida, 26-30 June 2016 Coastal Topography-Upper Florida Keys Reef Tract, Florida, 26-30 June 2016
Lidar-derived seamless (bare earth and submerged) topography Digital Elevation Model (DEM) mosaic and classified point-cloud datasets of a portion of the upper Florida Keys reef tract were produced from remotely sensed, geographically referenced elevation measurements collected June 26-30, 2016.
Shallow ATRIS (sATRIS) Images-Dry Tortugas National Park, Florida, 2009 Shallow ATRIS (sATRIS) Images-Dry Tortugas National Park, Florida, 2009
Underwater digital images, single-beam bathymetry, and global positioning system (GPS) data were collected June 13?14, 2009 at Pulaski Shoal within Dry Tortugas National Park, FL, USA. A total of 195,406 images of the seafloor and water column were collected along pre-defined transect lines and organized into 3 sets: track1, track2, and track3. This data release contains a subset of...
Baseline Coastal Oblique Aerial Photographs Collected from Breton Island to the Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana, September 3, 2010 Baseline Coastal Oblique Aerial Photographs Collected from Breton Island to the Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana, September 3, 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 September 3, 2010, the USGS's NACCH project...

Shoreline Change Analysis of Coastal and Estuarine Shorelines in Barnegat and Great Bays, NJ: 1839 to 2012 Shoreline Change Analysis of Coastal and Estuarine Shorelines in Barnegat and Great Bays, NJ: 1839 to 2012
Shoreline erosion is a significant issue for many coastal states, and as coastal populations continue to grow, these data will become increasingly important for managing coastal habitats and communities. The data presented here include compiled vectorized shorelines and transects with shoreline change rates for both estuarine and open-ocean shorelines in Barnegat and Great Bays, New...
XBeach Bottom Friction Scenarios: Model Inputs and Results XBeach Bottom Friction Scenarios: Model Inputs and Results
Various bottom friction scenarios were simulated for hurricanes Ivan and Katrina at Dauphin Island, AL, using XBeach, as described in Passeri and others, 2017. Model inputs and outputs in the form of topography are provided here. For further information regarding model input generation and visualization of model output topography and bathymetry, refer to Passeri and others, 2017. Passeri...
USGS Coral Photo ArchiveFlorida Keys Corals: A Photographic Record of Changes from 1959 to 2015 USGS Coral Photo ArchiveFlorida Keys Corals: A Photographic Record of Changes from 1959 to 2015
This data release contains time-series photographs taken of corals and coral habitats in the Florida Keys between 1959 and 2015 at Carysfort Reef and Grecian Rocks (a total of six sites). The original intent was to show coral reef recovery after Hurricane Donna devastated the area in 1960. Corals, especially elkhorn and staghorn coral, grew prolifically after the storm until the late...
