Archive of Chirp Sub-Bottom Profile, Imagery, and Navigational Data Collected in June and July 2014 from Fire Island, New York
During June 15-23 and July 10-12, 2014, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted a nearshore geologic assessment, including bathymetric mapping, along Fire Island, New York (NY). This work was conducted in support of efforts to map the shoreface, characterize stratigraphy, and investigate changes in seafloor elevations near Fire Island, NY to assess the impacts of Hurricane Sandy to the area in October 2012. Geophysical data were collected as part of the Hurricane Sandy Supplemental Project (GS2-2B). The ... |

Ground Penetrating Radar and Global Positioning System Data Collected from Fire Island, New York, March-April 2021
Fire Island, New York (NY) is a 50-kilometer (km) long barrier island system fronting the southern coast of Long Island, NY with relatively complex geology. In 2016, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted ground penetrating radar (GPR) surveys and sediment sampling at Fire Island to characterize and quantify spatial variability in the subaerial geology (Forde and others, 2018; Buster and others, 2018). These surveys, in combination with historical data, allowed for a preliminary reconstruction of the ... |

Climatological wave height, wave period and wave power along coastal areas of the East Coast of the United States and Gulf of Mexico
This U.S. Geological Survey data release provides data on spatial variations in climatological wave parameters (significant wave height, peak wave period, and wave power) for coastal areas along the United States East Coast and Gulf of Mexico. Significant wave height is the average wave height, from crest to trough, of the highest one-third of the waves in a specific time period. Peak wave period is the wave period associated with the most energetic waves in the wave spectrum in a specific time period. Wave ... |

Cold-water coral microbiomes (Anthothela spp.) from Baltimore and Norfolk Canyons: raw and processed data
The files included in this data release are the raw and processed deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequence files referenced in the journal article by Lawler and others (2016) entitled “Coral-Associated Bacterial Diversity is Conserved Across Two Deep-Sea Anthothela Species”. They represent a 16S rRNA gene amplicon survey of cold-water corals (Anthothela spp.) microbiomes completed using Roche 454 pyrosequencing with titanium reagents. The samples used in this study were collected from cold-water corals ... |
