Coastal Vulnerability to Sea-Level Rise: A Preliminary Database for the U.S. Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf of Mexico Coasts: 2001, U.S. Geological Survey Digital Data Series DDS-68

This Digital Data Series CD-ROM contains a preliminary report of the National Assessment of Coastal Vulnerability to Sea-Level Rise for the conterminous United States. In addition, the data used in these reports are included in GIS compatible format.

Sea-floor Photography from the Continental Margin Program: A Pictorial Survey of Benthic Character and Habitats Along the U. S. East Coast: 2001, U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 01-154

This report contains 466 historical bottom photographs collected as part of the U.S. Geological Survey's Continental Margin Program. As part of this program approximately 3800 stations were organized on an 18-km grid that extended from the Canadian border to the southern tip of Florida. Bottom photography was conducted at many of these stations in conjunction with sediment sampling for grain size, mineralogy, geochemistry, and biology. The purpose of this report is to release digital versions of these bottom photographs in a gallery that can be visualized geographically.

CHAPTER 3; Visualizing Sediment Data Layers Using Geographic Mapping Tools

This publication is superseded by U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2005-1001.

This Open-File CD-ROM contains a procedures section that describes field methods used to collect marine sediment samples and laboratory methods used to determine and characterize the grain-size distribution.  This CD-ROM also contains a data release of over 19,000 surficial samples collected and or processed by the USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program, Woods Hole Science Center.

This data layer is available in an ArcView shapefile format along with it's metadata from this server. The data has been stored in a zip archive for convenience.

GLORIA Sidescan Sonar Field Data and Navigation Data Collected Off Puerto Rico in 1985 and the Eastern United States in 1987, U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 98-619

This CD-ROM collected within the Exclusive economic Zone (EEZ) surrounding Puerto Rico and off the eastern United States during cruises aboard the R/V FARNELLA. The data were collected as part of the USGS EEZ-SCAN program.

Atlas of GLORIA sidescan-sonar imagery of the Exclusive Economic Zone of the United States: EEZ-View, 1997, U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 97-540

This CD-ROM contains GLORIA (Geologic LOng-Range Inclined Asdic) sidescan imagery of all the deep-water portion (more than 200 meters) of the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) mapped during the 8 years of data plate tectonics, remote sensing with GLORIA and highlights of interesting features from each of the geographic areas: U.S. East Coast, U.S. Gulf of Mexico, Puerto Rico, U.S. West Coast, Bering Sea, Aleutian Islands, Gulf of Alaska, Hawaiian Ridge, Johnston Island, Kingman Reef and Palmyra Atoll. Interactive links geologic maps make this CD-ROM an attractive introductory tool for high school or college classes discussing marine geology or mapping with remote sensing.

Navigation and Geophysical Data Collected Onboard the R/V FAY from 1975 - 1976, 1997, U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 97-512

This CD-ROM is a data rescue of the navigation and digital geophysical (gravity, magnetics and bathymetry) data collected aboard the R/V HJW FAY by the United States Geological Survey during the summer field seasons of 1975 and 1976.  There are no seismic data available on this disk.

CD-ROM Atlas of the Deepwater Parts of the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone in the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico and the Eastern Caribbean Sea, 1993, U.S. Geological Survey Digital Data Series DDS-15

This CD-ROM contains composite digital sidescan-sonar mosaics and geologic maps of the deepwater parts of the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) in the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, and the eastern Caribbean Sea. The data on this disc consist of the fully processed GLORIA sidescan-sonar images, geologic interpretations of the images, bathymetry overlays for the images, 21 seismic profiles collected in perspective of the entire eastern Atlantic.  The GLORIA data on this disc were collected during 10 cruises between 1982 and 1987 for regions where water was more than 400 m deep.
