Satellite-derived shorelines for the U.S. states of Oregon and Washington for the period 1984-2023, obtained using CoastSat
This dataset contains shoreline positions derived from available Landsat satellite imagery for two states (Oregon, and Washington) along the U.S. Pacific coast for the time period 1984 to 2023. An open-source toolbox, CoastSat (Vos and others, 2019a and 2019b), was used to classify coastal Landsat imagery and detect shorelines at the sub-pixel scale. Resulting shorelines are presented in...
Detailed Aeromagnetic Survey of the Trinidad Area, California
This data release provides access to a low-altitude, aeromagnetic survey of a part of northwestern California. These data were acquired to support earthquake and tsunami hazard investigations and geologic mapping of the greater Trinidad area of northwestern California. Magnetic data are provided as a database and the residual magnetic intensity is provided as a grid.
Sediment core data from offshore Cascadia during field activity 2022-653-FA
This data release contains sediment core data including X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) scans, photos, and multi-sensor core logger (MSCL) data. Sediment cores were collected along the Cascadia Subduction Zone (offshore northern California, Oregon and Washington) during U.S. Geological Survey cruise 2022-653-FA aboard the M/V Bold-Horizon. The cores were collected to evaluate potential...
Labeled satellite imagery for training machine learning semantic segmentation models of coastal shorelines
A collection of data releases containing labeled satellite imagery for the purpose of training Machine Learning models to automate the task of shoreline extraction from satellite imagery. Shoreline mapping from satellite imagery, known as Satellite-Derived Shorelines or SDS, has the potential to transform coastal shoreline mapping for erosion hazard mapping and coastal resource...
Labeled satellite imagery for training machine learning models that predict the suitability of semantic segmentation model outputs for shoreline extraction
A collection of data releases containing labeled satellite imagery for the purpose of training Machine Learning models to automate the task of shoreline extraction from satellite imagery. Shoreline mapping from satellite imagery, known as Satellite-Derived Shorelines or SDS, has the potential to transform coastal shoreline mapping for erosion hazard mapping and coastal resource...

Computed tomography (CT) scans, photographs, geochemistry, grain-size and total carbon analysis, X-ray fluorescence (XRF) scans, X-ray diffraction (XRD), magnetic susceptibility, and gamma-ray bulk density data of gravity cores and push cores from the Esc
This data release contains computed tomography (CT) scans, photographs, geochemistry, grain-size and total carbon analysis, X-ray fluorescence (XRF) scans, X-ray diffraction (XRD), magnetic susceptibility, and gamma-ray bulk density data of gravity cores, push cores, and sediment subsamples from those cores collected in 2022 from the Escanaba Trough vent field, Gorda Ridge, in the...
Properties of sediment collected from channels in northern San Francisco Bay, California, 2024
Bed sediment samples were collected from the channels of 4 sites within northern San Francisco Bay, California, USA. The channels sampled were located in Corte Madera Bay, San Pablo Bay, Grizzly Bay and Suisun Bay. Sediment samples were collected with push cores, by subsampling a Gomex box corer. Cores, which ranged in length from 2 to 6 centimeters (cm), were sectioned by depth. The top...
Sedimentary organic geochemistry data from Escanaba Trough, off the coast of northern California, collected May-June 2022
This data release presents organic geochemical data collected from sediments within the Escanaba Trough, a sedimented hydrothermal spreading center within the U.S. EEZ off the coast of Northern CA which contains marine minerals (USGS Field Activity 2022-621-FA). The data includes total organic carbon and total nitrogen content, stable and radioisotopes, compound specific biomarker data...
Data to Support Analyses of Shoreline Seasonal Cycles for Beaches of California
Coastal shorelines commonly have recurring patterns of retreat and recovery that are related to annual patterns in wave climate. To assist with investigations of these seasonal cycles, we have analyzed shoreline position and wave data for the beaches of California to generate a series of metrics that describe the magnitude and timing of seasonal patterns of the shoreline and offshore...
Shoreline Change of Western Long Island, New York from Satellite Derived Shorelines
This data release contains tidally corrected shoreline positions for three sites of western Long Island, NY (Rockaway Peninsula, Long Beach, and Jones Beach Island). Both CSV files of tidally corrected shorelines and GeoJSON files of the region of interests (ROIs), transects, and reference shorelines are provided within respective zip files. Both file types are derived from CoastSeg v1.1...
Aerial imagery and structure-from-motion derived data products from a UAS survey of the debris flow at South Fork Campground, Sequoia National Park, CA
This data release presents aerial imagery and digital topography to support a geohazards assessment for an area of Sequoia National Park affected by debris flows in January 2023. Multiple atmospheric-river storms brought heavy precipitation to Sequoia National Park and the surrounding region in December 2022 and January 2023, triggering slope failures. Storm rainfall on January 9, 2023...
