The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (SPCMSC) conducted research to identify areas of seafloor elevation stability and instability based on elevation changes between the 1930’s and 2002 in the Upper Florida Keys (UFK) from Triumph Reef to Pickles Reef within a 234.2 square-kilometer area. USGS SPCMSC staff used seafloor elevation-change data from Yates and others (2017a) derived from an elevation-change analysis between two elevation datasets acquired in the 1930’s and 2001/2002 using the methods of Yates and others (2017b). Most of the elevation data from the 2001/2002 time period were collected during 2002, so as an abbreviated naming convention, we refer to this time period as 2002. A seafloor stability threshold was determined for the 1930’s-2002 UFK elevation-change dataset based on the vertical uncertainty of the 1930’s historical hydrographic surveys and 2002 digital elevation models (DEMs). Five stability categories (which incl ...

Source data vertical datum NAVD88.The feature layer used to generate this tile layer can be downloaded as a zipped geodatabase from TLCGIS' geodatahub. Download LinkTLCGIS regularly uses digital orthophotos and planimetric/hydrographic/topographic data to support regulatory functions, land management and acquisition, planning, engineering and habitat restoration projects.This dataset is part of a regularly scheduled update of LiDAR and digital orthophotography products. The dataset was created from source imagery acquired by a Trimble TAC80 natural color digital camera and LAS data acquired by a Optech ALTM HA500 (Pegasus) LIDAR sensor from January 18, 2015 to February 5, 2015.
In this joint demonstration project for the Tampa Bay region, NOAA's National Ocean Service (NOS) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) have merged NOAA bathymetric and USGS topographic data sets into a hybrid digital elevation model (DEM) with all data initially referenced to the ellipsoid, but transformable to any of 28 orthometric, 3-D, or tidal datums.A seamless bathymetric/topographic digital elevation model (DEM) was developed by merging the "best available" bathymetric data from NOAA and topographic data for USGS. Each of the datasets was initially processed independently to apply the "best available" criteria to select the data to be merged. Prior to merging, the selected data were transformed to a common reference coordinate system, both horizontally and vertically.The selected topography points within the shoreline buffer zone and the bathymetry points were gridded to produce a raster surface model with a 1-arc-second (30-meter) grid spacing to match the resolution of NED. The points were input to an implementation of the ANUDEM thin plate spline interpolation algorithm, which is optimized for generation of topographic surfaces. The bathymetry points could have been gridded independently of the topographic data, but the shoreline zone land elevations were included in the interpolation to ensure a better match of the bathymetric and topographic surfaces for the subsequent mosaicing step. To avoid introduction of any interpolation edge effects into the merged elevation model, the output grid from the interpolation was clipped to include only land elevations within 300 meters of the shoreline.The final processing step involved the mosaicing of the bathymetry grid and the NED elevation grid. The values in the 300-meter overlap area were blended by weighted averaging, where the weights for each grid are determined on a cell-by-cell basis according to the cell's proximity to the edges of the overlap area. The resulting final merged product is a seamless bathymetric/topographic model covering the Tampa Bay region at a grid spacing of 1-arc-second (30-meter). The vertical coordinates represent elevation in decimal meters relative to the GRS80 ellipsoid, and the horizontal coordinates are decimal degrees of latitude and longitude referenced to the NAD83 datum.This dataset is intended for geospatial applications that require seamless land elevation and water depth information in coastal environments.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (SPCMSC) conducted research to identify areas of seafloor elevation stability and instability based on elevation changes between the 1930’s and 2016 along the Florida Reef Tract (FRT) from Miami to Key West within a 982.4 square-kilometer area. USGS SPCMSC staff used seafloor elevation-change data from Yates and others (2021) derived from an elevation-change analysis between two elevation datasets acquired in the 1930’s and 2016/2017 using the methods of Yates and others (2017). Most of the elevation data from the 2016/2017 time period were collected during 2016, so as an abbreviated naming convention, we refer to this time period as 2016. A seafloor stability threshold was determined for the 1930’s-2016 FRT elevation-change dataset based on the vertical uncertainty of the 1930’s historical hydrographic surveys and 2016 digital elevation models (DEMs). Five stability categories (which include, Stable: 0.0 meters (m) to ±0.24 m or 0.0 m to ±0.49 m; Moderately stable: ±0.25 m to ±0.49 m; Moderately unstable: ±0.50 m to ±0.74 m; Mostly unstable: ±0.75 m to ±0.99 m; and Unstable: ±1.00 m to Max/Min elevation change) were created and used to define levels of stability and instability for each elevation-change value (85,253 data points) based on the amount of erosion and accretion during the 1930’s to 2016 time period. Seafloor-stability point and triangulated irregular network (TIN) surface models were created at five different elevation-change data resolutions (1st order through 5th order) with each resolution becoming increasingly more detailed. In order to view the stability models at a larger extent, the stability point and surface (TIN) models were divided into four sub-regions: Biscayne Bay, Upper Key, Middle Keys, and Lower Keys. The stability models were used to determine the level of seafloor stability at potential areas of interest for coral restoration and 14 habitat types found along the FRT. Stability surface (TIN) models were used for areas defined by specific XY geographic points, while stability point models were used for areas defined by bounding box coordinate locations. This data release includes ArcGIS map packages containing the binned and color-coded stability point and surface (TIN) models, potential coral restoration locations, habitat files, and sub-region boundaries; maps of each stability model at full extent and for each sub-region; and data tables containing stability and elevation-change data for the potential coral restoration locations and habitat types. Data were collected under Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary permit FKNMS-2016-068. Coral restoration locations were provided by Mote Marine Laboratory under Special Activity License SAL-18-1724-SCRP.
This map presents land cover and detailed topographic maps for the United States. The map includes the National Park Service (NPS) Natural Earth physical map at 1.24km per pixel for the world at small scales, i-cubed eTOPO 1:250,000-scale maps for the contiguous United States at medium scales, and National Geographic TOPO! 1:100,000 and 1:24,000-scale maps (1:250,000 and 1:63,000 in Alaska) for the United States at large scales. The TOPO! maps are seamless, scanned images of United States Geological Survey (USGS) paper topographic maps. Please reference the metadata for contact information.
This dataset was created to represent the land surface elevation at 1:24,000 scale for Florida. The elevation contour lines representing the land surface elevation were digitized from United States Geological survey 1:24,000 (7.5 minute) quadrangles and were compiled by South Florida, South West Florida, St. Johns River and Suwannee River Water Management Districts and FDEP. QA and corrections to the data were supplied by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Florida Geological Survey and the Division of Water Resource Management. This data, representing over 1,000 USGS topographic maps, spans a variety of contour intervals including 1 and 2 meter and 5 and 10 foot. The elevation values have been normalized to feet in the final data layer. Attributes for closed topographic depressions were also captured where closed (hautchered) features were identified and the lowest elevation determined using the closest contour line minus one-half the contour interval. This data was derived from the USGS 1:24,000 topographic map series. The data is more than 20 years old and is likely out-of-date in areas of high human activity.
IMPORTANT IN THE OPEN DATA PORTAL THERE IS ONE FEATURE CLASS FOR ALL POTENTIOMETRIC SURFACE MAPS. IF YOU WANT JUST ONE TIME PERIOD CLICK ON THE TABLE TAB, THEN CLICK ON THE DATE FIELD. IN THE FILTER BOX ON THE RIGHT ENTER THE MAP YOU WANT (MAY 2000, SEPTEMBER 2015, ETC.). WHEN YOU CLICK THE DOWNLOAD DATASET BUTTON SELECT SPREADSHEET OR KML OR SHAPEFILE UNDER THE FILTERED DATASET OPTION. YOU WILL ONLY GET THE FILTERED DATA FROM THIS DOWNLOAD.Contour lines are created for the potentiometric surface of the upper Floridan aquifer from water level data submitted by the water management districts. The points associated with the water level data are added to Geostatistical Analyst and ordinary kriging is used to interpolate water level elevation values between the points. The Geostatistical Analyst layer is then converted to a grid (using GA Layer to grid tool) and then contour lines (using the Contour tool). Post editing is done to smooth the lines and fix areas that are hydrologically incorrect. The rules established for post editing are: 1) rivers intersecting the UFA follow the rule of V’s; 2) potentiometric surface contour line values don’t exceed the topographic digital elevation model (DEM) in unconfined areas; and 3) potentiometric surface contour lines don’t violate valid measured water level data. Errors are usually located where potentiometric highs are adjacent to potentiometric lows (areas where the gradient is high). Expert knowledge or additional information is used to correct the contour lines in these areas. Some additional data may be river stage values in rivers that intersect the Floridan aquifer or land elevation in unconfined areas. Contour lines created prior to May 2012 may be calculated using a different method. The potentiometric surface is only meant to describe water level elevation based on existing data for the time period measured. The contour interval for the statewide map is 10 feet and is not meant to supersede regional (water management district) or local (city) scale potentiometric surface maps.
The High Accuracy Elevation Data Project collected elevation data (meters) on a 400 meter topographic grid with a vertical accuracy of +/- 15 centimeters to define the topography in South Florida. The data are referenced to the horizontal datum North American Datum 1983 (NAD 83) and the vertical datum North American Vertical Datum 1988 (NAVD 88). In some areas, the surveying was accomplished using airboats. Because access was a logistical problem with airboats, the USGS developed a helicopter-based instrument known as the Airborne Height Finder (AHF). All subsequent data collection used the AHF. Data were collected from the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge, south through the Water Conservation Areas (1A, 2A, 2B, 3A, and 3B), Big Cypress National Park, the Everglades National Park, to the Florida Bay. The data are available for the areas shown on the USGS High Accuracy Elevation Data graphic at http://sofia.usgs.gov/exchange/desmond/desmondelev.html . The work was performed for Everglades ecosystem restoration purposes.
The data are from regional topographic surveys to collect and provide elevation data to parameterize hydrologic and ecological numerical simulation models that are being developed for ecosystem restoration activities. Surveying services were also rendered to provide vertical reference points for numerous water level gauges. Modeling of sheet flow and water surface levels in the wetlands of South Florida is very sensitive to changes in elevation due to the expansive and extremely low relief terrain. Hydrologists determined minimum vertical accuracy requirements for the elevation data for use as input to hydrologic models. As a result, elevation data with a vertical accuracy specification of +/-15 centimeters (cm) relative to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) were collected in critical areas using state-of-the-art differential global positioning system (GPS) technology and data processing techniques.

This topographic contour layer was derived from LiDAR collected in spring of 2020 by Dewberry Engineers in coordination with Tallahassee - Leon County GIS. The contours were extracted at a 2 foot interval with index contours every 10 feet. This tile layer was generated as a Map Tile Package (.mtpkx) in ArcGIS Pro and published to ArcGIS online as a hosted tile layer. For web mapping compatibility, this layer has been re-projected from its original coordinate system to the web standard used by ESRI, Google, and Bing (Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere).The feature layer used to generate this tile layer can be downloaded as a zipped geodatabase from TLCGIS' geodatahub. Download LinkLidar Acquisition Executive SummaryThe primary purpose of this project was to develop a consistent and accurate surface elevation dataset derived from high-accuracy Light Detection and Ranging (lidar) technology for the Tallahassee Leon County Project Area. The lidar data were processed and classified according to project specifications. Detailed breaklines and bare-earth Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) were produced for the project area. Data was formatted according to tiles with each tile covering an area of 5000 ft by 5000 ft. A total of 876 tiles were produced for the project encompassing an area of approximately 785.55 sq. miles.The Project TeamDewberry served as the prime contractor for the project. In addition to project management, Dewberry was responsible for LAS classification, all lidar products, breakline production, Digital Elevation Model (DEM) production, and quality assurance. Dewberry’s Frederick C. Rankin completed ground surveying for the project and delivered surveyed checkpoints. His task was to acquire surveyed checkpoints for the project to use in independent testing of the vertical accuracy of the lidar-derived surface model. He also verified the GPS base station coordinates used during lidar data acquisition to ensure that the base station coordinates were accurate. Please see Appendix A to view the separate Survey Report that was created for this portion of the project. Digital Aerial Solutions, LLC completed lidar data acquisition and data calibration for the project area.SURVEY AREAThe project area addressed by this report falls within the Florida county of Leon.DATE OF SURVEYThe lidar aerial acquisition was conducted from TBDORIGINAL COORDINATE REFERENCE SYSTEMData produced for the project were delivered in the following reference system.Horizontal Datum: The horizontal datum for the project is North American Datum of 1983 with the 2011 Adjustment (NAD 83 (2011))Vertical Datum: The Vertical datum for the project is North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88)Coordinate System: NAD83 (2011) State Plane Florida North (US survey feet)Units: Horizontal units are in U.S. Survey Feet, Vertical units are in U.S. Survey Feet.Geiod Model: Geoid12B (Geoid 12B) was used to convert ellipsoid heights to orthometric heights).
NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) is building high-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) for select U.S. coastal regions. These integrated bathymetric-topographic DEMs are used to support individual coastal States as part of the National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program's (NTHMP) efforts to improve community preparedness and hazard mitigation. Bathymetric, topographic, and shoreline data used in DEM compilation are obtained from various sources including: NOAA; the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS); and other federal, state, and local government agencies, academic institutions, and private companies. DEMs are referenced to the vertical datum of NAVD 88 and horizontal datum of World Geodetic System 1984 geographic (WGS 84). Grid spacing for the DEM is 1/3 arc-second (~10 meters).
The AHF system has been deployed in a series of survey campaigns to collect over 60,000 points covering Everglades National Park, Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge, Water Conservation Areas 2 and 3, portions of Big Cypress National Preserve, as well as areas along the Lake Okeechobee littoral zone. Since the AHF System is able to penetrate Everglades vegetation and water cover, it has provided an unprecedented regional view of Everglades topographic gradients and sub-water surface structure. These data are now being used to simulate Everglades water flow with higher resolution and greater accuracy, to estimate water depths in real-time for field study planning, and as input for habitat models used to forecast the effects of water level changes on various important species. The elevation data collected through this project also formed the basic input to generate a regional topographic surface that is the basis for the Everglades Depth Estimation Network (EDEN). These high accuracy elevation data are made available to anyone through the South Florida Information Access website (http://sofia.usgs.gov) data exchange pages.
MAP Activity Accomplishment The USGS Airborne Height Finder (AHF) System was used to perform topographic surveys in Water Conservation Area 3A within the extents of the Lone Palm Head and North of Lone Palm Head 7.5-minute topographic map quadrangles as specified in the MAP/COE Interagency Agreement. The AHF system has been used throughout South Florida for elevation data collection because traditional surveying methods are too difficult, too costly, or simply impossible to use in the harsh wetland environment and broadly inaccessible terrain of the Florida Everglades. This is especially true considering the shear size of the hydrodynamic and biological modeling domains. The AHF is a helicopter-based instrument that uses a GPS receiver, a computer, and a mechanized plumb bob to make measurements. These data were post processed to the reference stations that are part of the AHF geodetic control network. For reasons of accuracy, these reference stations are located no more then 15 kilometers from the helicopter during AHF operations. The GPS data were post processed using Ashtech’s PNAV On The Fly (OTF) software to obtain the trajectory of the AHF platform. These results are then processed through an in-house software package that separates the actual survey points and results from the trajectory. The points are manually checked to ensure data accuracy and completeness. Digital elevation models (DEMs) were then generated from the elevation point data. Existing elevation data derived from LiDAR data for this area were replaced with AHF derived DEMs for reasons of vertical accuracy. The DEMs have been posted on the South Florida Information Access (SOFIA) website: http://sofia.usgs.gov/exchange/desmond/desmondelev.html.
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (SPCMSC) conducted research to identify areas of seafloor elevation stability and instability based on elevation changes between the years of 2016 and 2017 at Crocker Reef near Islamorada, Florida (FL), within a 33.62 square-kilometer area. USGS SPCMSC staff used seafloor elevation-change data from Yates and others (2019) derived from an elevation-change analysis between two elevation datasets acquired in 2016 and 2017 using the methods of Yates and others (2017). A seafloor stability threshold was determined for the 2016-2017 Crocker Reef elevation-change dataset based on the vertical uncertainty of the 2016 and 2017 digital elevation models (DEMs). Five stability categories (which include, Stable: 0.0 meters (m) to ±0.24 m or 0.0 m to ±0.49 m; Moderately stable: ±0.25 m to ±0.49 m; Moderately unstable: ±0.50 m to ±0.74 m; Mostly unstable: ±0.75 m to ±0.99 m; and Unstable: ±1.00 m to Max/Min elevation change) were created and used to define levels of stability and instability for each elevation-change value (8,402,223 data points at 2-m horizontal resolution) based on the amount of erosion and accretion during the 2016 to 2017 time period. Seafloor-stability point and triangulated irregular network (TIN) surface models were created at five different elevation-change data resolutions (1st order through 5th order) with each resolution becoming increasingly more detailed. The stability point models were used to determine the level of seafloor stability at nine habitat types found at Crocker Reef. This data release includes ArcGIS map packages containing the binned and color-coded stability point and surface (TIN) models and habitat files; maps of each stability model; and data tables containing stability and elevation-change data for the habitat types. Data were collected under Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary permit FKNMS-2016-068.
A digital elevation model (DEM) of a portion of the eastern Florida coastline was produced from remotely sensed, geographically referenced elevation measurements cooperatively by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Kennedy Space Center, FL. Elevation measurements were collected over the area using the NASA Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar (EAARL), a pulsed laser ranging system mounted onboard an aircraft to measure ground elevation, vegetation canopy, and coastal topography. The system uses high-frequency laser beams directed at the Earth's surface through an opening in the bottom of the aircraft's fuselage. The laser system records the time difference between emission of the laser beam and the reception of the reflected laser signal in the aircraft. The plane travels over the target area at approximately 50 meters per second at an elevation of approximately 300 meters, resulting in a laser swath of approximately 240 meters with an average point spacing of 2-3 meters. The EAARL, developed by NASA at Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, measures ground elevation with a vertical resolution of +/-15 centimeters. A sampling rate of 3 kilohertz or higher results in an extremely dense spatial elevation dataset. Over 100 kilometers of coastline can be surveyed easily within a 3- to 4-hour mission. When resultant elevation maps for an area are analyzed, they provide a useful tool to make management decisions regarding land development. For more information on Lidar science and the Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar (EAARL) system and surveys, see http://ngom.usgs.gov/dsp/overview/index.php and http://ngom.usgs.gov/dsp/tech/eaarl/index.php .
Elevation maps (also known as Digital Elevation Models or DEMs) of Gulf Islands National Seashore were produced from remotely-sensed, geographically-referenced elevation measurements in cooperation with NASA and NPS. Point data in ascii text files were interpolated in a GIS to create a grid or digital elevation model (DEM) of each beach surface. Elevation measurements were collected in Florida, Mississippi and Texas, over Gulf Islands National Seashore, using the NASA Experimental Advanced Airborne Research LiDAR (EAARL), a pulsed laser ranging system mounted onboard an aircraft to measure ground elevation and coastal topography. The system uses high frequency laser beams directed at the earth's surface through an opening in the bottom of the aircraft's fuselage. The laser system records the time difference between emission of the laser beam and the reception of the reflected laser signal in the aircraft. The plane travels over the beach at approximately 60 meters per second while surveying from the low-water line to the landward base of the sand dunes. The EAARL, developed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) located at Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, measures ground elevation with a vertical resolution of 15 centimeters. A sampling rate of 3 kHz or higher results in an extremely dense spatial elevation data set. Over 100 kilometers of coastline can be easily surveyed within a 3- to 4-hour mission time period. The ability to sample large areas rapidly and accurately is especially useful in morphologically dynamic areas such as barrier beaches. Quick assessment of topographic change can be made following storms comparing measurements against baseline data. When subsequent elevation maps for an area are analyzed, they provide a useful tool to make management decisions regarding coastal development.

NOAA's National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) is building high-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) for select U.S. coastal regions in the Gulf of Mexico. These integrated bathymetric-topographic DEMs were developed for NOAA Coast Survey Development Laboratory (CSDL) through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 to evaluate the utility of the Vertical Datum Transformation tool (VDatum), developed jointly by NOAA's Office of Coast Survey (OCS), National Geodetic Survey (NGS), and Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS). Bathymetric, topographic, and shoreline data used in DEM compilation are obtained from various sources, including NGDC, the U.S. Coastal Services Center (CSC), the U.S. Office of Coast Survey (OCS), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and other federal, state, and local government agencies, academic institutions, and private companies. DEMs are referenced to the vertical tidal datum of North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88) or Mean High Water (MHW) and horizontal datum of North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83). Grid spacings for both DEMs are 1/3 arc-second (~10 meters).The DEM Global Mosaic is an image service providing access to bathymetric/topographic digital elevation models stewarded at NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), along with the global GEBCO_2014 grid: http://www.gebco.net/data_and_products/gridded_bathymetry_data. NCEI builds and distributes high-resolution, coastal digital elevation models (DEMs) that integrate ocean bathymetry and land topography to support NOAA's mission to understand and predict changes in Earth's environment, and conserve and manage coastal and marine resources to meet our Nation's economic, social, and environmental needs.

Version 10.0 (Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico added) of these data are part of a larger U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) project to develop an updated geospatial database of mines, mineral deposits, and mineral regions in the United States. Mine and prospect-related symbols, such as those used to represent prospect pits, mines, adits, dumps, tailings, etc., hereafter referred to as “mine” symbols or features, have been digitized from the 7.5-minute (1:24,000, 1:25,000-scale; and 1:10,000, 1:20,000 and 1:30,000-scale in Puerto Rico only) and the 15-minute (1:48,000 and 1:62,500-scale; 1:63,360-scale in Alaska only) archive of the USGS Historical Topographic Map Collection (HTMC), or acquired from available databases (California and Nevada, 1:24,000-scale only). Compilation of these features is the first phase in capturing accurate locations and general information about features related to mineral resource exploration and extraction across the U.S. The compilation of 725,690 point and polygon mine symbols from approximately 106,350 maps across 50 states, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (PR) and the District of Columbia (DC) has been completed: Alabama (AL), Alaska (AK), Arizona (AZ), Arkansas (AR), California (CA), Colorado (CO), Connecticut (CT), Delaware (DE), Florida (FL), Georgia (GA), Hawaii (HI), Idaho (ID), Illinois (IL), Indiana (IN), Iowa (IA), Kansas (KS), Kentucky (KY), Louisiana (LA), Maine (ME), Maryland (MD), Massachusetts (MA), Michigan (MI), Minnesota (MN), Mississippi (MS), Missouri (MO), Montana (MT), Nebraska (NE), Nevada (NV), New Hampshire (NH), New Jersey (NJ), New Mexico (NM), New York (NY), North Carolina (NC), North Dakota (ND), Ohio (OH), Oklahoma (OK), Oregon (OR), Pennsylvania (PA), Rhode Island (RI), South Carolina (SC), South Dakota (SD), Tennessee (TN), Texas (TX), Utah (UT), Vermont (VT), Virginia (VA), Washington (WA), West Virginia (WV), Wisconsin (WI), and Wyoming (WY). The process renders not only a more complete picture of exploration and mining in the U.S., but an approximate timeline of when these activities occurred. These data may be used for land use planning, assessing abandoned mine lands and mine-related environmental impacts, assessing the value of mineral resources from Federal, State and private lands, and mapping mineralized areas and systems for input into the land management process. These data are presented as three groups of layers based on the scale of the source maps. No reconciliation between the data groups was done.Datasets were developed by the U.S. Geological Survey Geology, Geophysics, and Geochemistry Science Center (GGGSC). Compilation work was completed by USGS National Association of Geoscience Teachers (NAGT) interns: Emma L. Boardman-Larson, Grayce M. Gibbs, William R. Gnesda, Montana E. Hauke, Jacob D. Melendez, Amanda L. Ringer, and Alex J. Schwarz; USGS student contractors: Margaret B. Hammond, Germán Schmeda, Patrick C. Scott, Tyler Reyes, Morgan Mullins, Thomas Carroll, Margaret Brantley, and Logan Barrett; and by USGS personnel Virgil S. Alfred, Damon Bickerstaff, E.G. Boyce, Madelyn E. Eysel, Stuart A. Giles, Autumn L. Helfrich, Alan A. Hurlbert, Cheryl L. Novakovich, Sophia J. Pinter, and Andrew F. Smith.USMIN project website: https://www.usgs.gov/USMIN

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (SPCMSC) conducted research to identify areas of seafloor elevation stability and instability based on elevation changes between the 1930’s and 2002 in the Upper Florida Keys (UFK) from Triumph Reef to Pickles Reef within a 234.2 square-kilometer area. USGS SPCMSC staff used seafloor elevation-change data from Yates and others (2017a) derived from an elevation-change analysis between two elevation datasets acquired in the 1930’s and 2001/2002 using the methods of Yates and others (2017b). Most of the elevation data from the 2001/2002 time period were collected during 2002, so as an abbreviated naming convention, we refer to this time period as 2002. A seafloor stability threshold was determined for the 1930’s-2002 UFK elevation-change dataset based on the vertical uncertainty of the 1930’s historical hydrographic surveys and 2002 digital elevation models (DEMs). Five stability categories (which incl ...
