USGS CoastCam at Tres Palmas, Rincón, Puerto Rico: Calibration and GNSS Topography Survey Data

A digital video camera was installed at Tres Palmas, Rincón, Puerto Rico (PR), and faced west to view the beach and water offshore. Every hour during daylight hours, daily from August 27, 2019, to March 10, 2020, the camera collected raw video and produced snapshots and time-averaged image products. This data release includes the necessary intrinsic orientation (IO) and extrinsic orientation (EO)

USGS CoastCam at Isla Verde, Puerto Rico: 2018-2019 Timestack Imagery and Coordinate Data

A digital video camera was installed at Isla Verde Beach in San Juan, Puerto Rico (PR) and faced northeast along the beach. Every hour during daylight hours, daily from February 1, 2019, to July 15, 2019, the camera collected raw video and produced snapshots and time-averaged image products. One such product is a "runup timestack". Runup timestacks are images created by sampling a cross-shore arra

USGS CoastCam at Sand Key, Florida: Timestack Imagery and Coordinate Data

Two digital video cameras were installed at Sand Key, Florida (FL), facing south (camera 1) and north (camera 2) along the beach. Every hour during daylight hours, daily from 2018 to 2022, the cameras collected raw video and produced snapshots and time-averaged image products. For camera 2, one such product that is created is a "runup timestack". Runup timestacks are images created by sampling a c

USGS CoastCam at Sand Key, Florida: Calibration Data

Two digital video cameras were installed at Sand Key, Florida (FL), facing south (camera 1) and north (camera 2) along the beach. Every hour during daylight hours, daily from 2018 to 2022, the cameras collected raw video and produced snapshots and time-averaged image products. This data release includes the necessary intrinsic orientation (IO) and extrinsic orientation (EO) calibration data to uti

USGS CoastCam at Madeira Beach, Florida: Timestack Imagery and Coordinate Data

A digital video camera was installed at Madeira Beach, Florida (FL) and faced west along the beach. Every hour during daylight hours, daily from 2017 to 2022, the camera collected raw video and produced snapshots and time-averaged image products. One such product is a "runup timestack". Runup timestacks are images created by sampling a cross-shore array of pixels from an image through time as wave

Underwater Photogrammetry Products of Summerland Ledge, Florida From Images Acquired Using the SQUID-5 System in July 2022

Underwater images were collected using a towed-surface vehicle with multiple downward-looking underwater cameras developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The system is named the Structure-from-Motion (SfM) Quantitative Underwater Imaging Device with Five Cameras (SQUID-5). The raw images and associated navigation data were collected at Summerland Ledge, a coral reef located within the Flori

Underwater Photogrammetry Products of Big Pine Ledge, Florida From Images Acquired Using the SQUID-5 System in July 2022

Underwater images were collected using a towed-surface vehicle with multiple downward-looking underwater cameras developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The system is named the Structure-from-Motion (SfM) Quantitative Underwater Imaging Device with Five Cameras (SQUID-5). The raw images and associated navigation data were collected at Big Pine Ledge, a coral reef located within the Florida

Coastal Multibeam Bathymetry and Backscatter Data Collected in May 2023 From Seven Mile Island, New Jersey

Scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center in St. Petersburg, Florida (USGS – SPCSMC), conducted a nearshore geophysical survey offshore of Seven Mile Island, New Jersey, during May 2023. Multibeam bathymetry and acoustic backscatter data were collected aboard the research vessel (R/V) Sallenger. The survey was supported by the National Fish and Wil

Coastal Bathymetry and Backscatter Data Collected in May 2023 From Rockaway Peninsula, New York

Scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (USGS – SPCSMC), conducted a nearshore geophysical survey offshore of the Rockaway Peninsula, New York (NY), during May 2023. Multibeam bathymetry and acoustic backscatter data were collected aboard the research vessel (R/V) Sallenger. The survey was supported by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (N

Lidar-derived Beach Volumes and Shoreline Change for New Jersey and New York

This data release defines beach volumes and shoreline change for each 10-meter-wide profile along the New Jersey and New York coastline. The profiles are derived from light detection and ranging (lidar)-digital elevation models (DEMs). These data support the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF)-funded project entitled “Monitoring Hurricane Sandy Beach and Marsh Resilience in New York and N

Testing Treatments Against Parasitic Scuticociliate (Philaster apodigitiformis) that Causes Mass Mortality Among Sea Urchins (Diadema antillarum) - Results

The information in this data release are those referenced in the journal article by Evans and others (2024) entitled “Evaluation of in vitro treatments against the causative agent of Diadema antillarum scuticociliatosis (DaSc).” They contain the results observed and collected during an experiment that tested the efficacy of nine compounds (2’4’ dihydroxychalcone, bithionol sulfoxide, carnidazole,

Nearshore Multibeam and Single-beam Bathymetry Data: Madeira Beach, Florida, February 2017

In February 2017, the United States Geological Survey Saint Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (USGS SPCMSC) conducted multibeam and single-beam bathymetric surveys of the nearshore waters off the coast of Madeira Beach, Florida. These data were collected as part of a regional study designed to better understand coastal processes on barrier islands and sandy beaches. Results from this st
