Beach and foreshore elevation data were collected in the vicinity of Wainwright, Alaska. The area from the mouth of the Kuk River to about 8 km to the northeast was measured in August 2009. The area from the mouth of the Kuk River to about 5 km to the northeast was measured in October 2009. The elevation data were collected with Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) Global Positioning System (GPS) systems mounted on all-terrain vehicles. The GPS sampling rate was 1 Hz with vehicle speeds maintained at less than 15 km/hour, resulting in a sample point resolution of 3-5 m. Data are available in a single csv file.

First finished floor elevation data, as well as ground survey points for critical infrastructure, for example bridges, fuel farms, and power generators, were collected in Elim, Golovin, Kotzebue, Mekoryuk, Saint George, Stebbins, and Tununak, Alaska. The elevation data were collected with real-time kinematic global navigation satellite system (RTK-GNSS) equipment. Data are available in CSV file format. Two files are available per community: one in a geographic coordinate system (this dataset) and the other in the Alaska State Plane coordinate system (in this same data release). Additionally, the supplemental survey reports are provided.

Beach elevation profiles were measured along 29 shore-normal transects on and around Arey and Barter Islands, Alaska in August 2010 and July 2011. Profile data are available in a single comma-delimited file and a zip file including multiple .jpg images that show a visual representation of the individual profiles.

A time-series of binned current-velocities and recorded ping amplitudes were collected offshore Wainwright, Alaska, from August 24 to October 02, 2009 (UTC). Measurements were collected using a 1 MHz NortekTM AWAC acoustic Doppler current profiler mounted on a frame in approximately 10 m of water. The profiler was mounted on the frame 0.55 m off the bottom of the seafloor, and collected data in 8 vertical bins, centered at 1.95(bin1), 2.95, 3.95, 4.95, 5.95, 6.95, 7.95, and 8.95(bin8) meters above the seabed, measuring over 8.53-minute bursts at 2 Hz. These data are available in a single csv file.

The National Assessment of Coastal Change Hazards project derives beach morphology features from lidar elevation data for the purpose of understanding and predicting storm impacts to our nation's coastlines. This dataset defines beach slopes along the United States Northeast Atlantic Ocean for New Jersey for data collected at various times between 2007 and 2014

This dataset contains nearshore bathymetry measurements collected at Point Barrow, Alaska. The data were collected in July 2022 using a single beam echosounder and global navigation satellite system receiver and subsequently processed by the U.S. Geological Survey, Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center. Results are provided in a comma-separated value format (csv).

Sediment grab samples were collected at 158 locations on the foreshore and beach in the vicinity of Wainwright, Alaska, in October of 2009. Two of the grab samples were sieved and analyzed for grain size distributions. The grain-size distribution of the remaining samples was determined from referenced photographs of collected samples taken in the lab following the method of Barnard and others (2007) using two-dimensional spectral decomposition of sediment images (Buscombe and others, 2010). Results of sieved samples were used to verify mean grain size values obtained with the image processing algorithm. Data are available in a single csv file.

Grain-size data, including grain size, cumulative frequency, and median, was determined from samples collected at three bluff locations in the vicinity of Wainwright, Alaska. The different locations (termed W1, W2, and W3) represent three different slope-failure modes. Sediment grab samples for most bluff locations were collected in August 2009, while sediment samples from the bluff at site W3 and multiple foreshore locations were collected in September and October of 2009. Two of the grab samples were sieved and analyzed for grain size distributions (7 classes ranging from 0.06 to 0.72 mm). The grain size distribution of the remaining samples was determined from referenced photographs of collected samples taken in the lab following the method of Barnard and others (2007) using two-dimensional spectral decomposition of sediment images (Buscombe and others, 2010).
