This part of DS 781 presents data for the geologic and geomorphic map of the Offshore of Point Conception Map Area, California. The vector data file is included in "Geology_OffshorePointConception.zip," which is accessible from https://doi.org/10.5066/F7QN64XQ. Marine geology and geomorphology were mapped in the Offshore of Point Conception map area from the shoreline to the 3-nautical-mile limit of California's State Waters. The location of the shoreline, whi ch is from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA's) Shoreline Data Explorer, is based on their analysis of lidar data (National Geodetic Survey, 2016). Offshore geologic units were delineated on the basis of integrated analyses of adjacent...

RGB-averaged orthoimages were created from aerial imagery collected on November 26, 2019, along the North Carolina coast between the Virginia-North Carolina border vicinity and Cape Lookout, North Carolina. These RBG-averaged orthoimages were created to document ground conditions two-months after Hurricane Dorian, which made landfall on the North Carolina coast on September 6, 2019. The RBG-averaged orthoimages help researchers estimate the land surface after Hurricane Dorian and were created to document inter-annual changes in shoreline position and coastal morphology in response to storm events using aerial imagery collections and a structure from motion (SFM) workflow. These data can be used with geographic information...

This part of DS 781 presents data for bathymetric contours for several seafloor maps of the Offshore of Point Conception Map Area, California. The vector data file is included in "Contours_OffshorePointConception.zip," which is accessible from https://doi.org/10.5066/F7QN64XQ. Bathymetry contours of the Offshore of Point Conception map area in southern California was generated from acoustic-bathymetry data collected by Fugro Pelagos Inc. Acoustic mapping was completed in 2008 using a combination of 400-kHz Reson 7125, 240-kHz Reson 8101, and 100-kHz Reson 8111 multibeam echosounders. Bathymetric-lidar data was collected in the nearshore area by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Joint Lidar Bathymetry Technical...

This part of DS 781 presents data for the habitat map of the Offshore of Gaviota Map Area, California. The vector data file is included in "Habitat_OffshoreGaviota.zip," which is accessible from https://doi.org/10.5066/F7TH8JWJ. This map shows physical marine benthic habitats in the Offshore of Gaviota map area. Marine benthic habitats represent a particular type of water quality, substrate, geomorphology, seafloor process, or any other attribute that may provide a habitat for a specific species or an assemblage of organisms. Marine benthic habitats are classified using the Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard (CMECS), developed by representatives from a consortium of federal agencies. CMECS is...

This part of the data release presents projected flooding extent polygon (flood masks) and flooding depth points (flood points) shapefiles based on wave-driven total water levels for the Territory of Puerto Rico (the islands of Culebra, Puerto Rico, and Vieques). For each island there are 8 associated flood mask and flood depth shapefiles: one for each four nearshore wave energy return periods (rp; 10-, 50-, 100-, and 500-years) and both with (wrf) and without (worf) the presence of coral reefs. Flooding depth point data are also presented as a comma-separated value (.csv) text file.

This part of DS 781 presents data for the geologic and geomorphic map of the Offshore of Gaviota Map Area, California. The vector data file is included in "Geology_OffshoreGaviota.zip," which is accessible from https://doi.org/10.5066/F7TH8JWJ. The offshore portion of the Gaviota map area largely consists of a narrow (4- to 5-km-wide), gently (about 1 degree to 1.5 degrees) offshore-dipping shelf, underlain by Neogene bedrock and Holocene sediments derived primarily from Gaviota Creek and smaller coastal watersheds draining the Santa Ynez Mountains (fig. 1-2). Holocene nearshore and shelf deposits are primarily sand (unit Qms). More coarse-grained sediments (unit Qmsc) are mainly found along the Gaviota bar, a prominent...

This portion of the USGS data release presents topography data collected during surveys performed in the Columbia River littoral cell, Washington and Oregon, in 2022 (USGS Field Activity Number 2022-641-FA). Topographic profiles were collected by walking along survey lines with global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers mounted on backpacks. Prior to data collection, vertical distances between the GNSS antennas and the ground were measured using a tape measure. Hand-held data collectors were used to log raw data and display navigational information allowing surveyors to navigate survey lines spaced at 100- to 1000-m intervals along the beach. Profiles were surveyed from the landward edge of the study area...

This portion of the USGS data release presents bathymetric data collected during surveys performed on the Elwha River delta, Washington in 2018 (USGS Field Activity Number 2018-648-FA). Bathymetric data were collected using personal watercraft (PWCs) equipped with single-beam sonar systems and global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers.

This part of DS 781 presents fault data for the geologic and geomorphic map of the Offshore of Gaviota map area, California. The vector data file is included in "Faults_OffshoreGaviota.zip," which is accessible from https://doi.org/10.5066/F7TH8JWJ. The southwest-striking south strand of the Santa Ynez fault obliquely cuts the shelf in the western part of the map area. As mapped onshore by Dibblee (1950, 1988a) this fault is unique among Santa Barbara fold belt structures in that it obliquely crosses the Santa Ynez Mountains and the dominant east-west structural grain. The fault was difficult to map in the offshore, even with our dense seismic-reflection data coverage, because the pre-LGM section on the shelf includes...

This part of DS 781 presents data for the geologic and geomorphic map of the Offshore of Point Conception Map Area, California. The vector data file is included in "Folds_OffshorePointConception.zip," which is accessible from https://doi.org/10.5066/F7QN64XQ. In the offshore part of the map area, closely-spaced seismic-reflection profiles image many shallow, west-northwest striking folds that have variable geometry, length, amplitude, continuity, and wavelength. The Government Point syncline is the most prominent fold; the axis of this structure has been mapped onshore at Point Conception and extends into the offshore both to the west and east with a cumulative length of more than 22 km. Local thickening of post-LGM...
