This seafloor character raster for the Offshore of Eureka, California, map area is part of USGS Data Series 781 (Golden and Cochrane, 2019). Seafloor character is a combination of seafloor induration (surface hardness) and rugosity, was derived from multibeam echosounder (MBES) and annotated underwater video data collected offshore of Eureka, California. The MBES and underwater video data were collected in support of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) California Seafloor Mapping Program, under a collaboration with the California State University Monterey Bay Seafloor Mapping Lab, the California Ocean Protection Council, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Substrate observations from the underwater video were translated into Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard (CMECS; Federal Geographic Data Committee, 2012) induration classes to use as training for a supervised numerical classification of the MBES data. The seafloor character raster is provided as a 2-meter resolution GeoTIFF.

This substrate, geomorphic, and geologic attributed polygon shapefile in the Offshore of Eureka, California, map area is part of USGS Data Series 781 (Golden and Cochrane, 2019). The map area is one of 83 map areas of the California State Waters Map Series. The polygons are derived from multibeam echosounder (MBES) data and derivatives of that data using video-supervised and unsupervised classification. Attributes and attribute values are named following the Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard (CMECS; Federal Geographic Data Committee, 2012) to be useful for ecosystems management.

This 100-m-resolution sediment thickness data raster for the Offshore of Eureka, California, map area is part of USGS Data Series 781 (Golden and Cochrane, 2019). Seismic data were collected by the USGS in 2009 using a mini-sparker seismic systems installed on the Humboldt State University R/V Coral Sea. The data were processed by the USGS into segy format files. The data are available as a georeferenced TIFF image.
