Research Project
Coastal Change Hazards: Hurricanes and Extreme Storms

Description: This project investigates the coastal impacts of hurricanes and extreme storms, such as Hurricanes Isabel (2003), Dennis (1999), Bonnie & Georges (1998), and winter storms, such as those associated with the 1997-98 El Ni�o.

EAARL Topography-Colonial National Historical Park

Description: These Lidar-derived topography maps were produced as a collaborative effort between the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Coastal and Marine Geology Program, Florida Integrated Science Center (FISC) St. Petersburg, the National Park Service (NPS) Inventory and Monitoring Program, Northeast Coastal and Barrier Network, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Wallops Flight Facility. One objective of this research is to create techniques to survey coral reefs, barrier islands, and various nearshore coastal environments for the purposes of geomorphic change studies, habitat mapping, ecological monitoring, change detection, and event assessment. As part of this project, data from an innovative instrument under development at the NASA Wallops Flight Facility, the NASA Experimental Airborne Advanced Research Lidar (EAARL) are being used. This sensor has the potential to make significant contributions in this realm for measuring subaerial and submarine topography wthin cross-environment surveys. High spectral resolution, water-column correction, and low costs were found to be key factors in providing accurate and affordable imagery to coastal resource managers.

USGS Data Series 265, Time-Series Photographs of the Sea Floor in Western Massachusetts Bay, Version 2, 1989 - 1996, USGS Data Series 265, Title Page

Description: This U.S. Geological Survey Data Series report presents time-series photographs of the sea floor obtained from an instrumented tripod deployed in western Massachusetts Bay (site LT-A, 42? 22.6' N., 70? 47.0' W., 32 m water depth) from December 1989 to October 1996. The photographs provide time-series observations of changes of the sea floor, near-bottom water turbidity, and life on the sea floor. The photographs, obtained every 4 or every 6 hours, are presented as individual photographs (in .png format) and as a movie (in .avi format).

Publication
USGS OFR 2008-1174: Enhanced Sidescan-Sonar Imagery, North-Central Long Island Sound, Title Page

Description: Sidescan-sonar imagery from NOAA surveys H11043, H11044, and H11045 in north-central Long Island Sound were enhanced to remove tonal artifacts by matching backscatter tones in adjacent sonar lines. The enhanced imagery minimizes abrupt backscatter changes and striping, and more clearly delineates boundaries of backscatter tones and patterns."

Research Project
Decision Support for Coastal Science and Management

Description: The Decision Support for Coastal Science and Management project, sponsored by the USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program (CMGP) is supporting the creation of new capabilities for the synoptic remote sensing of coastal-marine and terrestrial environments based on aircraft and satellite sensors. These coastal remote-sensing, mapping, and point-monitoring tools constitute a unique integrated package of instrumentation and software that may be deployed in support of appropriately timed and scaled zoning decisions by management authorities in order to conserve and sensibly exploit nearshore coastal and marine ecosystems.
