Baseline Coastal Oblique Aerial Photographs Collected at the Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana, and Dauphin Island, Alabama, July 24, 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 July 24, 2010, the USGS's NACCH project conducted an oblique

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 (MsCIP). Data

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 salt marshe

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.

Discrete Carbonate System Parameter Measurements in Tampa Bay, Florida, USA

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), ammonium

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 (subFAN, 16BIM05

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) St. Peters

Post-Hurricane Matthew coastal oblique aerial photographs collected Port St. Lucie, Florida, to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, October 13-15, 2016

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), as part of the National Assessment of Coastal Change Hazards (NACCH) 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 October 13?15, 2016, the USGS's NACCH project conducted an ob

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.

EAARL Coastal Topography-Texas, Post-Hurricane Rita, 2005

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 27th and 28th, and October 2nd, 2005, following Hurricane Rita landfall.

Wetland-Change Data Derived from Landsat Imagery, Assateague Island to Metompkin Island, Maryland and Virginia, 1984 to 2015

This data release includes geospatial datasets that were created to analyze wetland changes along the Virginia and Maryland Atlantic coasts between 1984 and 2015 as part of the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) Barrier Island and Estuarine Wetland Physical Change Assessment. Wetland change was determined by assessing two metrics: wetland persistence and land-cover switching. Because seasonal water l

Ocean Currents and Pressure Time Series at the Upper Florida Keys: Crocker Reef, FL

Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) and Pressure loggers were deployed at Crocker Reef, a senile (dead) barrier reef located in the northern portion of the Florida Reef Tract during December 12, 2014 to January 30, 2015. A pressure logger was deployed in the deepest part of the fore reef at a water depth of 14 m. This logger configured to measure pressure at a rate of 2 Hz to obtain wave st
