Great Lakes Restoration Initiative's Terrestrial Habitats &amp; Connectivity Work Group's Pilot Area's Post-Fiscal Year 2021 Open Habitat Connectivity

This dataset is the second installment of a yearly connectivity update for open habitat within the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative's (GLRI) Terrestrial Habitats &amp; Connectivity (TH&amp;C) work group's Pilot Area. The Pilot Area is a region of the northern Great Lakes Basin between Ashland, WI and the Keweenaw Peninsula and is bounded by Lake Superior in the north and the basin boundary in the south, including a 70 km buffer. Each year the TH&amp;C selects project proposals for funding within the pilot area. These proposals involve either restoration, research, or land acquisition aimed at improving or increasing open connectivity in this area. The intended purpose of each year’s update is to understand the effects of funded projects on the ground work and help inform the location and purpose of future projects proposals. These post-fiscal year 2021 open connectivity maps serve as a baseline for comparison from each future fiscal year through FY25.  
To create the post FY21 installment of GLRI's Terrestrial Habitats &amp; Connectivity work group's pilot area yearly connectivity maps, we identified the geospatial locations where restoration work benefitting open habitats was completed throughout FY21. Using the GAP/Landfire landcover dataset we identified all open landcover grid cells. Open habitat was assigned a low movement resistance; land cover categories were assigned higher movement resistance values the more they deviated from open habitat characteristics. High intensity development was assigned the highest resistance as it was least similar to open habitat. We then used the FY21 restoration geospatial locations, all cells within these locations were assigned the lowest resistance value. This analysis produced two connectivity maps: a cumulative current map and a normalized current map. The cumulative current map shows where potential movement pathways between open patches are located within the pilot area, while the normalized current map shows where obstructed movement, diffuse movement, and channelized open habitat movement occurs within the pilot area. These maps provide important information on how restoration efforts in the pilot area are affecting open habitat connectivity.

Hyperspectral orthorectified reflectance images from Uncrewed Aircraft System (UAS) surveys of dryland sites 40 km south of Moab, Utah in May 2023

In support of U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Southwest Biological Science Center researchers, and in coordination with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON), the USGS National Uncrewed Systems Office (NUSO) conducted uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) remote sensing flights over two BLM Assessment, Inventory, and Monitoring (AIM) plots at the NEON Moab site in Utah for multi-scale carbon sequestration research on public lands. The UAS data collected include natural color, multispectral, and hyperspectral imagery, and lidar to capture diverse information about vegetation and soils on drylands. The first site (“site 1”) features intact sagebrush and was mapped on May 3, 2023. The second site (“site 7”) is located on a grazed rangeland environment and was mapped on May 5, 2023. These UAS surveys were conducted in early May 2023 to coincide spatially and temporally with ground-based BLM AIM sampling and airplane-based remote sensing surveys by NEON.
This portion of the data release presents hyperspectral data products from low-altitude UAS flights at two dryland sites approximately 40 km south of Moab, Utah. A Headwall Nano-Hyperspec line scanning sensor was flown at an altitude of 31 meters above ground level on a DJI Matrice 600 Pro UAS with approved government edition firmware. The hyperspectral images were post-processed using the sensor manufacturer's proprietary software and following their recommended workflow.
The orthorectified hyperspectral reflectance images are stored as 32-bit single precision floating point numbers in flat binary files with a band sequential (BSQ) interleave. Each image is accompanied by an ASCII text header file (.hdr) containing band center wavelengths and other parameters relevant to the images. Each image has 274 spectral bands spanning the visible and near infrared wavelengths, 398 to 1002 nm. The images were georeferenced to a geographic coordinate system (latitude and longitude) and WGS84 datum with spatial resolution 1.7 cm (site 1) and 1.5 cm (site 7). There are 30 hyperspectral images with accompanying header files captured at site 1, provided in 5 zip folders to facilitate bulk download. There are 33 hyperspectral images with accompanying header files captured at site 7, provided in 5 zip folders.

Modeling to quantify the thermal effect of selected point sources to the Willamette River under existing and modified conditions: 2011, 2015, and 2016

To meet their permit requirements under the water-temperature Total Maximum Daily Load for the Willamette River, Oregon Association of Clean Water Agencies members need to understand the potential thermal effects of various heat-mitigation alternatives for their treated wastewater discharges to the Willamette River, such as the installation of cooling towers that would decrease the temperature of their effluent.  CE-QUAL-W2, a two-dimensional, hydrodynamic water quality model, has been used to investigate temperature and heat patterns in the Willamette River, the downstream effects of dam operations, and other anthropogenic effects on stream temperature such as effluent discharge from waste-water treatment plants.  This data release child item includes flow and temperature input files for CE-QUAL-W2 scenarios that were simulated to investigate the potential effect of releasing cooled waste-water treatment effluent to the Coast Fork Willamette and Willamette Rivers by the Cities of Cottage Grove and Albany, and the Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission near Springfield.  By applying these boundary conditions to the appropriate CE-QUAL-W2 model documented in the primary landing page of this data release, a user may reproduce scenario results investigating the potential effect of cooling towers or other heat cooling devices for treated effluent on the temperature of the Coast Fork Willamette and Willamette Rivers.

Great Lakes Restoration Initiative's Terrestrial Habitats &amp; Connectivity Work Group's Pilot Area's Pre-Fiscal Year 2021 Forest Habitat Connectivity

This dataset is the first installment of a yearly connectivity update for forested habitat within the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative's (GLRI) Terrestrial Habitats &amp; Connectivity (TH&amp;C) work group's Pilot Area. The Pilot Area is a region of the northern Great Lakes Basin between Ashland, WI and the Keweenaw Peninsula and is bounded by Lake Superior in the north and the basin boundary in the south, including a 70 km buffer. Each year the TH&amp;C selects project proposals for funding within the pilot area. These proposals involve either restoration, research, or land acquisition aimed at improving or increasing connectivity in this area. The intended purpose of each year’s update is to understand the effects of funded projects on the ground work and help inform the location and purpose of future projects proposals. These pre-fiscal year 2021 forest connectivity maps serve as a baseline for comparison from each future fiscal year through FY25.  
To create these connectivity maps, we used the GAP/Landfire landcover dataset and identified all forested landcover grid cells. Forests were assigned a low movement resistance; land cover categories were assigned higher movement resistance values the more they deviated from forest characteristics. High intensity development was assigned the highest resistance as it was least similar to forested habitat. This analysis produced two connectivity maps: a cumulative current map and a normalized current map. The cumulative current map shows where potential movement pathways between forests are located within the pilot area, while the normalized current map shows where obstructed movement, diffuse movement, and channelized movement occurs within the pilot area.

Bathymetric and Water Velocity Data on the Upper St. Croix River Between Riverside and St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin, May 3-10, 2022

From May 3–10, 2022, bathymetric and water velocity data were collected on the St. Croix River between Riverside and St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin. Bathymetry and water velocity data were collected at 2 transects for 102 cross sections over the approximately 120-kilometer (km) survey reach. Longitudinal profile bathymetry transects were also collected between each cross section. These data were collected with a Teledyne RD Instruments RiverRay acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) and georeferenced using two Trimble R10 Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers (R10). Due to field site constraints (poor cell service and long distances of travel), R10 data could not be collected using a real-time network survey or real time kinematic survey. Data was collected using a post-processed kinematic (PPK) method where one base R10 was set over a known benchmark to collect static data from the beginning to the end of the survey. The other rover R10 in the boat collected raw, continuous data at a 1-second interval. The data from both the base and rover R10s were post-processed using Trimble Business Center software version 5.80 to achieve centimeter-level accuracy. The raw ADCP data were post-processed using the Velocity Mapping Toolbox (VMT) version 4.09 (Parsons and others, 2013) and the corrected GNSS data, including water surface elevations at the time of survey were merged with VMT bathymetry output files.

Estimates of habitat suitability of reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea) in Upper Mississippi River floodplain forest understories

This dataset contains predictions of habitat suitability of reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea) in Upper Mississippi River floodplain forest understories from Pool 3 to Pool 13. Predictions were created using three machine learning algorithms (Bayesian additive regression trees, boosted trees, and random forest). This dataset contains rasters that provide habitat suitability predictions for each 12m raster cell that had forested landcover in 2010. In addition to one raster for each of the three algorithms an ensemble (mean prediction of all three algorithms) prediction raster for each pool is provided.

Measurements of Water Quality Constituents in Groundwater Within 1 Mile (1.61 km) of Orphaned Wells in the United States

This is a combined dataset from the USGS Orphaned Well Dataset (Grove and Merrill, 2022) and publicly available data from the USGS National Water Information System (NWIS) obtained via the Water Quality Portal using the USGS Python dataretrieval library. This dataset is composed of water quality measurements from groundwater sites located within 1 mile of the locations of unplugged orphaned wells listed in the United States Documented Unplugged Orphaned Oil and Gas Well Dataset.
This dataset contains measurements of common water quality parameters (pH, temperature, specific conductance, TDS), dissolved light hydrocarbons and their isotopes
(Methane, δ13C in methane, δ2H in methane, ethane, δ13C in ethane, propane, and butane), constituents that can indicate the presence of brines and geologic fluids and be used to assess corrosivity (calcium, chloride, bromide, alkalinity), measurements that can be used to assess the potential for biogenic methane production (sulfate, sulfur isotopes, oxidation/reduction potential), as well as isotopic tracers of hydrologic processes (δ2H and δ18O in water and tritium).
The data include supporting information about the water quality measurement sites that can help provide context to the water quality measurements.
The data is presented in several ways, including all individual measurements, the average water quality near each orphaned well in the dataset, water quality measurements averaged near orphaned well (less than 100 meters), and averaged for distances at further away (100 meters to 1.6 kilometers), as well as the combined subset of data where there are measurements for both the near (less than 100 meters) and far (between 100 meters an 1.6 kilometer) radius.
This data release also includes the script and input file used to retrieve and format the data from NWIS to allow use in other projects.
