Data

This data release contains model output of water level elevation time series generated by the Simulating WAves till SHore (SWASH) model to simulate storm-induced water levels from Hurricane Isaias at Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina (NC), USA. Water levels were simulated along three different cross-shore profiles over a period of 10 hours around the peak of the storm from 2300 GMT on...

Two digital video cameras were temporarily installed at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge (PINWR) in North Carolina (NC), as part of the DUring Nearshore Event eXperiment (DUNEX). DUNEX was a collaborative community-led experiment that took place in the fall of 2021 along the Outer Banks of NC, with the goal of improving the understanding...

In 2021, scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (USGS SPCMSC) conducted ground penetrating radar (GPR) and sediment sampling surveys on barrier islands located along the central Florida Gulf Coast (CFGC), Pinellas County, Florida. This study investigated the past evolution of the CFGC from field sites at Anclote Keys, Caladesi and...

Scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (USGS – SPCSMC), conducted a single-beam bathymetry survey within Point Aux Chenes Bay, Mississippi, in June 2022 under the USGS Field Activity Number (FAN) 2022-320-FA. The data was collected from two personal watercrafts (PWC): RV Shark (SubFAN 22CCT09, WVR1) and RV Chum (SubFAN 22CCT10, WVR2)...

As part of the Coastal Sediment Availability and Flux and DUring Nearshore Event eXperiment (DUNEX) projects, scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Engineer Research and Development Center (USACE-ERDC) conducted repeat, nearshore geophysical surveys to map the shoreface and characterize...

As part of the Hurricane Sandy Supplemental Project (GS2-2B), scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (SPCMSC) and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) conducted a nearshore geophysical survey to characterize the stratigraphy of the shoreface and inner shelf near Fire Island, New York (NY) in June and July 2014. The purpose of...

Underwater images were collected using a towed-surface vehicle with multiple downward-looking underwater cameras developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The system is named the Structure-from-Motion (SfM) Quantitative Underwater Imaging Device with Five Cameras (SQUID-5). The raw images and associated navigation data were collected at Looe key, a coral reef located within the...

This data release compiles Uranium-series (U-series) data and descriptive collection information (such as sample/core identifier, location, elevation, etc.) for late Pleistocene coral subsamples from coral-reef cores previously collected throughout the Florida Keys by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) researchers. The samples were collected under scientific research permits from the Florida...

Pompano Ridge is a coral reef located on the southeast Florida nearshore ridge complex, ~500 meters off the coast of northern Broward County in southeast Florida. This data release compiles data collected on the late Holocene and living coral composition of Pompano Ridge. The data are described in detail in Modys and others (in prep). The samples were collected under Scientific Activity...

As part of the 2022 Disaster Supplemental project, scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (SPCMSC) conducted a nearshore geophysical survey to map the shoreface and inner shelf, as well as characterize stratigraphy near the Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana (LA) in June and August 2023. The purpose of this study was to conduct a...

A digital video camera was installed at Isla Verde, Puerto Rico (PR) and faced northeast along the beach. Every hour during daylight hours, daily from February 1, 2019, to July 15, 2019, the camera collected raw video and produced snapshots and time-averaged image products. This data release includes the necessary intrinsic orientation (IO) and extrinsic orientation (EO) calibration data...
