Objectives The project objectives are to: 1) Advance remote-sensing technology for coastal science and management by developing new methods and capabilities for airborne lidar and multi-spectral data 2) Utilize recently developed remote-sensing technology within the USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program (CMGP) in response to coastal impacts in order to assess, document, and evaluate the condition of affected resources. 3) Work collaboratively with the National Park Service and other DOI, federal, state, and local agencies to generate, analyze, and publish map products for remotely-sensed data 4) Generate and publish map products for coastal topographic data acquired by the EAARL, ATM, and other lidar systems...

This database contains a comprehensive inventory of geologic (coral, coral reef, limestone, and sediment) cores and samples collected, analyzed, published, and/or archived by, or in collaboration with, the U.S. Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (USGS SPCMSC). The SPCMSC Geologic Core and Sample Database includes geologic cores and samples collected beginning in the 1970s to present day, from study sites across the world. This database can be accessed through the CoreViewer 3.0 ArcOnline web mapping application, linked below. A copy of the data can also be downloaded from the web mapping application and the metadata is accessible through a link in the header of the application, as...

Remote-sensing technologies—such as video imagery, aerial photography, satellite imagery, structure-from-motion (SfM) photogrammetry, and lidar (laser-based surveying)— can be used to measure change along U.S. coastlines. Quantifying coastal change is essential for calculating trends in erosion and accretion, evaluating processes that shape coastal landscapes, and predicting how the coast will respond to future natural disasters (e.g. hurricanes, landslides, wildfires) and longer term climate trends such (e.g. sea-level rise, ecosystem change, coral bleaching), all critical for U.S. coastal communities. Rapid developments have occurred in remote-sensing technologies during the 21st century. With collaborators...
