Coastal bathymetry data collected between 2008 and 2009 offshore of the Mississippi and Alabama barrier islands: Processed elevation point data
During the summers of 2008 and 2009 the United States Geological Survey (USGS) conducted bathymetric surveys from West Ship Island, Mississippi, to Dauphin Island, Alabama, as part of the Northern Gulf of Mexico (NGOM) Ecosystem Change and Hazard Susceptibility project. The survey area extended from the shoreline out to approximately two kilometers and included the adjacent passes. These findings were originally published in Dewitt and others (2012). This USGS data release includes updated elevation point data (xyz) in which NOAA's Vdatum version 3.6 was used convert the 2008-2009 XYZ soundings to Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83) horizontal datum and North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) GEOID12B vertical datum. One goal of this work was to create time-series of bathymetric change maps around the islands using data collected between 1916 to 1920, 2008 to 2009, and in 2016.
