National assessment of shoreline change: A GIS compilation of vector shorelines (1949 to 2015) and associated shoreline change data for the west coast of Alaska, Cape Prince of Wales to Kotlik River National assessment of shoreline change: A GIS compilation of vector shorelines (1949 to 2015) and associated shoreline change data for the west coast of Alaska, Cape Prince of Wales to Kotlik River
This data release comprises geospatial data of historical shoreline positions and long-term (greater than 60 years) and short-term (less than 40 years) rate of change statistics from the west coast of Alaska from Cape Prince of Wales to Kotlik River for the years 1949 to 2015.
USGS Archive of Computed tomography (CT) Scans of Coral Cores USGS Archive of Computed tomography (CT) Scans of Coral Cores
This data release presents computed tomography (CT) imagery generated from coral core samples curated within the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Coral-Core Archive. These data were collected as part of ongoing USGS coral-reef research activities and include samples originating from multiple locations and collection efforts. A Geotek Rotating X-ray CT (RXCT) system was used to acquire x-ray...
Geochemistry and x-ray diffraction data for hydrothermal manganese oxide rocks from the Samoa hotspot region in the South Pacific Ocean collected during research expedition KM0506 Geochemistry and x-ray diffraction data for hydrothermal manganese oxide rocks from the Samoa hotspot region in the South Pacific Ocean collected during research expedition KM0506
Hydrothermal manganese oxide rocks were collected via dredge from the Tulaga Seamount, the flank of Ofu Island, and from Soso seamount in the Samoa hotspot region offshore American Samoa during the KM0506 cruise aboard the R/V Kilo Moana in April of 2005. Rocks were subsampled at USGS and analyzed for mineralogy by x-ray diffraction as well as sent to SGS laboratories, Canada for major...
Machine Learning Model: Estimates of Metal Abundance in Global Seafloor Massive Sulfide Deposits Machine Learning Model: Estimates of Metal Abundance in Global Seafloor Massive Sulfide Deposits
A multi-stage ensembled machine learning model was developed to estimate metal abundances in seafloor massive sulfide deposits worldwide. The modeling framework integrates (1) KMeans++ clustering to identify geochemical groupings based on enrichment controls, (2) Random Forest classification to assign geochemical labels to vent fields with incomplete or absent geochemical data, and (3)...
Sediment core data from offshore Cascadia during field activities 2020-633-FA and 2021-636-FA Sediment core data from offshore Cascadia during field activities 2020-633-FA and 2021-636-FA
This data release contains sediment core data including core imagery, multi-sensor core logger (MSCL) data, and grainsize data. As part of a multi-year project focused on characterizing offshore marine geohazards (tsunamis, earthquakes, and landslides), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Coastal and Marine Hazards and Resources Program is collaborating with MBARI to conduct research along...
Sublacustrine landslide and tsunami models from Lake Quinault, Washington Sublacustrine landslide and tsunami models from Lake Quinault, Washington
This USGS data release provides model setup files to simulate a hypothetical sublacustrine landslide in Lake Quinault and resulting tsunami waves.
Compositions of ash, soil, sediment, water, and biota after the 2020 CZU Lightning Complex Wildfire, Santa Cruz Mountains, California Compositions of ash, soil, sediment, water, and biota after the 2020 CZU Lightning Complex Wildfire, Santa Cruz Mountains, California
The CZU Lightning Complex Wildfire burned 86,500 acres of forested coastal watersheds in the Santa Cruz Mountains, CA, from August 16 to September 22, 2020. Ash, soil, and stream sediment were collected and characterized as soon as sites could be safely accessed to quantify potential environmental and public hazards from wildfire-related potentially toxic metals and polycyclic aromatic
Bathymetry, topography, and sediment grain-size data from the Elwha River delta, Washington, July and August, 2023 Bathymetry, topography, and sediment grain-size data from the Elwha River delta, Washington, July and August, 2023
Two dams on the Elwha River, Washington State, USA trapped over 20 million m3 of sediment, reducing downstream sediment fluxes and contributing to erosion of the river's coastal delta. The removal of the Elwha and Glines Canyon dams between 2011 and 2014 induced massive increases in river sediment supply and provided an unprecedented opportunity to examine the response of a delta system...
