Using ~ 1 m resolution imagery collected between 2000 and 2010, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Civil Applications Center (NCAC) monitored dramatic changes at East Timbalier Island, a Gulf of Mexico barrier island located on the west side of the Mississippi River Delta (Thomas et. al, 2011). The imagery was collected by US National Imagery Systems (USNIS) and archived at the USGS Global Fiducials Library (GFL). New research expands this study both retrospectively and prospectively using declassified imagery collected in 1962 and 1972; Landsat imagery collected since 1972; aerial photography collected since 1953; and 1991-2020 GFL imagery.

A data processing task was needed by National Park Service to transpose field tabular and spatial data into various digital formats of the 1994 Aquatic Plant Survey Report. A survey of aquatic vascular plants was conducted in a 122 mile stretch of the Upper Delaware River between Hancock, New York and the Delaware Water Gap in 1991 and 1992. A total of 196 sites were inventoried and twenty-eight species of plants were recorded. The aquatic vascular plant flora in this section of the Delaware River appeared to be thriving, due in large part to good water quality and moderate impacts by man. The purpose of this task was the digitizing of hand-drawn field mapping data from hardcopy paper maps into digital map products....

This data represents samples of algae from Upper Klamath Lake Oregon, during the summer of 2016. Data were sampled from the lake using standard protocols and then shipped to the remote sensing laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for analysis on the hyperspectral microscope at NIST.

This data set is combination of imagery from the Advanced Land Imager and Landsat 8 Surface reflectance data product covering three USGS gauge stations, Middle Haddam Connecticut (01193050), Potomac River at Little Falls (01646500), and the Susquehanna River at Darlington, Maryland (01579550) and the Sandy Hook to Jamaica Bays areas of the New York and New Jersey coast. Raw and corrected water quality data was collected from the NWIS database for the corresponding dates of Landsat 8 overpasses of all three sites. Calculations and functions from the Landsat bands were compared, such as band ratios and power functions were calculated and compared against the corrected data for Colored Dissolved Organic Matter. These...
