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...

Historical and Recent Coastal Bathymetry Data Nearshore Ship, Horn, and Petit Bois Islands, Mississippi Historical and Recent Coastal Bathymetry Data Nearshore Ship, Horn, and Petit Bois Islands, Mississippi
Historic, recent, and present day bathymetry data sets were compiled and Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) were created to further compare changing bathymetry over several time periods. This work was completed in cooperation with the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Mobile, Alabama and the National Park Service (NPS) as part of the Mississippi Coastal Improvements Program...
Sedimentary Data from the Coastal Marshes Fringing the Lower Waccasassa River, Northwest Florida Sedimentary Data from the Coastal Marshes Fringing the Lower Waccasassa River, Northwest Florida
The Waccasassa River is located in a small watershed situated along the middle section of the low-gradient, low-energy, sediment-starved Big Bend coast in west central Florida. The river mouth empties into the head of the shallow, microtidal Waccasassa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. The lower end of the river and the surrounding coastline are dominated by coast-parallel Juncus roemerianus...
Coastal Topography-Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana, 23-25 June 2016 Coastal Topography-Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana, 23-25 June 2016
Lidar-derived seamless (bare earth and submerged) topography Digital Elevation Model (DEM) mosaic and classified point-cloud datasets of the Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana were produced from remotely sensed, geographically referenced elevation measurements collected June 23-25, 2016.

This data set contains time series and spatial measurements of discrete seawater samples analyzed for carbonate system parameters including water temperature (degrees C), salinity, pHT (pH on the total scale), dissolved oxygen (mg/L), total alkalinity (micromol/kg), dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) (micromol/kg), nitrate + nitrite (micromol/L), nitrite (micromol/L), silicate (micromol/L)...
Coastal Bathymetry Data Collected in 2016 nearshore from West Ship Island to Horn Island, Gulf Islands National Seashore, Mississippi Coastal Bathymetry Data Collected in 2016 nearshore from West Ship Island to Horn Island, Gulf Islands National Seashore, Mississippi
This data release provides 667-line kilometers (km) of processed single-beam bathymetry (SBB) data and 773-line km of processed Interferometric Bathymetry (IFB) collected by the USGS SPCMSC in July 2016 (field activity number [FAN] 2016-347-FA). The IFB were acquired on board the Research Vessel (R/V) Sallenger (subFAN, 16BIM04), and the SBB was acquired on board the R/V Jabba Jaw...
Time Series of Autonomous Carbonate System Parameter Measurements in Tampa Bay, Florida, USA Time Series of Autonomous Carbonate System Parameter Measurements in Tampa Bay, Florida, USA
This data set contains time series measurements of carbonate system parameters including water temperature (?C), conductivity (siemens), pressure (dbars), salinity, pHT (pH on the total scale), carbon dioxide (ppm), dissolved oxygen (micromol/L), and photosynthetically active radiation (microEinsteins). These data were collected in Tampa Bay, Florida by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)...

EAARL Coastal Topography-Texas, Post-Hurricane Ike, 2008 EAARL Coastal Topography-Texas, Post-Hurricane Ike, 2008
These datasets, prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center, provide lidar-derived first-surface and bare-earth topography for a portion of the Texas coastline. Elevation measurements were acquired by the Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar (EAARL) on September 17th, 2008, following Hurricane Ike landfall.
