Shoreline data for Ocean Beach, San Francisco, California, 2004 to 2021 Shoreline data for Ocean Beach, San Francisco, California, 2004 to 2021

Beach shoreline positions were derived from 221 approximately monthly beach topography surveys from 2004 through 2021 at Ocean Beach in San Francisco, California. Shoreline shapefiles for local Mean High Water (1.619m NAVD88) and local Mean Sea Level (0.975m NAVD88) were created from each survey.

Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain foraminifera: Digitized and updated taxonomy of Thomas G. Gibson’s census data Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain foraminifera: Digitized and updated taxonomy of Thomas G. Gibson’s census data

This foraminiferal census data was originally produced by USGS research Geologist Thomas G. Gibson in the 1960s through the early 2000s. The census data here documents evidence of foraminifer populations found in sediment samples extracted from four cores from the Atlantic Coastal Plain and the Gulf Coastal Plain. These samples represent Pliocene, Middle- Miocene and Paleocene-Eocene...
