Science and Products
Multibeam bathymetry and acoustic backscatter from the Alaskan region, Extended Continental Shelf Project, 2011 field season: Gulf of Alaska and Bering Sea
Gravity cores from San Pablo Bay and Carquinez Strait, San Francisco Bay, California
California State Waters Map Series: Offshore of Refugio Beach, California
California State Waters Map Series: Offshore of Coal Oil Point, California
California State Waters Map Series: offshore of Santa Barbara, California
In 2007, the California Ocean Protection Council initiated the California Seafloor Mapping Program (CSMP), designed to create a comprehensive seafloor map of high-resolution bathymetry, marine benthic habitats, and geology within the 3-nautical-mile limit of California’s State Waters. The CSMP approach is to create highly detailed seafloor maps through collection, integration, interpretation, and
California State Waters Map Series: Offshore of Carpinteria, California
California State Waters Map Series — Offshore of Ventura, California
California State Waters Map Series: Offshore of Santa Barbara, California
California State Waters Map Series — Hueneme Canyon and vicinity, California
Earthquakes and faults in the San Francisco Bay area (1970-2003)
Seafloor Rocks and Sediments of the Continental Shelf From Monterey Bay to Point Sur, California
Bathymetry of the Republic of the Marshall Islands and vicinity
The bathymetric map of the Republic of the Marshall Islands and vicinity is bounded by a window of latitude 3 to 17 degrees North, longitude 153 to 175 degrees East. The map was compiled from surveys conducted by the USGS, Korean Ocean Research and Development Institute, and published gridded data. In addition to national jurisdictions, island and atoll coastlines are indicated on the map.
Shoreline retreat of the Corte Madera marshes, 1853 to 2016, Marin County, California
Polygons of global undersea features for geographic searches
Description of gravity cores from San Pablo Bay and Carquinez Strait, San Francisco Bay, California
Depth-to-basement, sediment-thickness, and bathymetry data for the deep-sea basins offshore of Washington, Oregon, and California
Late Holocene sedimentary environments of south San Francisco Bay, California, illustrated in gravity cores
Greenhouse gases generated from the anaerobic biodegradation of natural offshore asphalt seepages in southern California
Shapefile for Coastal Zone Management Program counties of the United States and its territories, 2009 (CZMP_counties_2009.shp)
Heavy mineral analysis for assessing the provenance of sandy sediment in the San Francisco Bay Coastal System
Integration of bed characteristics, geochemical tracers, current measurements, and numerical modeling for assessing the provenance of beach sand in the San Francisco Bay Coastal System
Over 150 million m3 of sand-sized sediment has disappeared from the central region of the San Francisco Bay Coastal System during the last half century. This enormous loss may reflect numerous anthropogenic influences, such as watershed damming, bay-fill development, aggregate mining, and dredging. The reduction in Bay sediment also appears to be linked to a reduction in sediment supply and recent
Seafloor geology and benthic habitats, San Pedro Shelf, southern California
Seafloor samples, videography, still photography, and real-time descriptions of geologic and biologic constituents at or near the seafloor of the San Pedro Shelf, southern California, advance the study of natural and man-made processes on this coastal area off the metropolitan Los Angeles area. Multibeam echo-sounder data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1998 and 1999 guided sampling and
Modeling of depth to base of Last Glacial Maximum and seafloor sediment thickness for the California State Waters Map Series, eastern Santa Barbara Channel, California
Macondo-1 well oil-derived polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in mesozooplankton from the northern Gulf of Mexico
