To better understand sediment deposition in marsh environments, scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey, St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (USGS-SPCMSC) selected four study sites (Sites 5, 6, 7, and 8) along the Point Aux Chenes Bay shoreline of the Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, Mississippi (GNDNERR). These datasets were collected to serve as baseline data prior to the installation of a living shoreline (a subtidal sill). Each site consisted of five plots located along a ...

To better understand sediment deposition in marsh environments, scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey, St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (USGS-SPCMSC) selected five marsh study sites (Sites 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9) and four nearshore estuarine study sites (Sites 8S, 8D, 9S, 9D) along the Point Aux Chenes Bay shoreline of the Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (GNDNERR), Mississippi. This study builds on Smith and others (2020b) and includes datasets collected after the installation ...

This dataset represents a compilation of vector shorelines in the Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (Mississippi and Alabama) from 1848 to 2017. Shoreline data were obtained from multiple data sources, including the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (GBNERR), and the Mississippi Office of Geology (MOG). All shoreline data types have uncertainty associated with delineating the shoreline ...

Shoreline change analysis is an important environmental monitoring tool for evaluating coastal exposure to erosion hazards, particularly for vulnerable habitats such as coastal wetlands where habitat loss is problematic world-wide. The increasing availability of high-resolution satellite imagery and emerging developments in analysis techniques support the implementation of these data into coastal management, including shoreline monitoring and change analysis. Geospatial shoreline data were created from a ...

Over time, as sea levels rise and land subsides, marsh transgression can occur. As shorelines erode and the marsh slowly transgresses landward into the upland, valuable coastal habitat simultaneously is lost and gained. If the shoreline erosion is faster than the rate of upland transgression, the result is a net loss in coastal wetlands. This dataset represents a marsh area change analysis for the Point Aux Chenes and Grand Bay estuaries in Mississippi and Alabama from 1848-1957/1958, 1848-2019/2022, and ...

This dataset represents a compilation of vector shorelines, shorepoints, and transects with rates for the Point Aux Chenes and Grand Bay estuaries in Mississippi and Alabama from 1848 to 2023. Shoreline data were obtained from multiple data sources, including the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (GNDNERR), and the Mississippi Office of Geology (MOG). All shoreline data types have uncertainty ...

This dataset represents a compilation of vector upland boundary lines, upland boundary points, and transects with rates for the Point Aux Chenes and Grand Bay estuaries (Mississippi and Alabama) for 1848, 1957/1958 (henceforth referred to as 1957), and 2019/2022 (henceforth referred to as 2022). Upland data were obtained from multiple data sources, including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) topographic sheets (t-sheets) and WorldView 2 satellite imagery. Regardless of the source, ...

To better understand sediment deposition in marsh environments, scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey, St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (USGS-SPCMSC) selected five marsh study sites (Sites 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9) and four nearshore estuarine study sites (Sites 8S, 8D, 9S, 9D) along the Point Aux Chenes Bay shoreline of the Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (GNDNERR), Mississippi.
