Shapefiles of the flood-inundation maps for the Meramec River at Arnold, Missouri, 2018

Digital flood-inundation maps for a 9.5-mile reach of the Meramec River at Arnold, Missouri, were created by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the United States Army Corps of Engineers, St. Louis Metropolitan Sewer District, Missouri Department of Transportation, Missouri American Water, Federal Emergency Management Agency Region 7, the City of Pacific, the City of Eureka, the City of Wildwood, and the City of Arnold.  The flood-inundation maps, which can be accessed through the USGS Flood Inundation Mapping Science Web site at http://water.usgs.gov/osw/flood_inundation/, depict estimates of the areal extent and depth of flooding corresponding to selected water levels (stages) at the USGS streamgage on the Meramec River at Arnold, Missouri (station number 07019300).  Near-real-time stages at this streamgage may be obtained on the Internet from the USGS National Water Information System at http://waterdata.usgs.gov/ or the National Weather Service (NWS) Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service at http://water.weather.gov/ahps/, which also forecasts flood hydrographs at this site.
Flood profiles were computed for the stream reach by means of a one-dimensional step-backwater model.  The model was calibrated using the current stage-discharge relation at the Meramec River near Eureka streamgage and documented high-water marks from the floods of December 30, 2015.
The hydraulic model was then used to compute 136 water-surface profiles for combinations of 8 different Mississippi River water surface elevations and flood stages at 1-foot (ft) intervals referenced to the streamgage datum and ranging from 22 ft or near bankfull to 51 ft, which exceeds the stage that corresponds to the maximum recorded peak flow.
The simulated water-surface profiles were then combined with a Geographic Information System digital elevation model (derived from light detection and ranging (lidar) data having a 0.5-ft vertical accuracy and 3.28-ft horizontal resolution) to delineate the area flooded at each water level.
The availability of these maps, along with Internet information regarding current stage from the USGS streamgage and forecasted high-flow stages from the NWS, will provide emergency management personnel and residents with information that is critical for flood response activities such as evacuations and road closures, as well as for post flood recovery efforts.

Codebook vectors from a trained emergent self-organizing map displaying multivariate topology of geochemical and reservoir temperature data from produced and geothermal waters of the United States

This data matrix contains the codebook vectors for a 82 x 50 neuron Emergent Self-Organizing Map which describes the multivariate topology of reservoir temperature and geochemical data for 190 samples of produced and geothermal waters from across the United States. Variables included are coordinates derived from reservoir temperature and concentration of Sc, Nd, Pr, Tb, Lu, Gd, Tm, Ce, Yb, Sm, Ho, Er, Eu, Dy, F, alkalinity as bicarbonate, Si, B, Br, Li, Ba, Sr, sulfate, H (derived from pH), K, Mg, Ca, Cl, and Na converted to units of proportion. The concentration data were converted to isometric log-ratio coordinates (following Hron et al., 2010), where the first ratio is Sc serving as the denominator to the geometric mean of all of the remaining elements (Nd to Na), the second ratio is Nd serving as the denominator by the geometric mean of all of the remaining elements (Pr to Na), and so on, until the final ratio is Na to Cl. Both the temperature and log-ratio coordinates of the concentration data were normalized to a mean of zero and a sample standard deviation of one.  The original source data all come from the U.S. Department of Energy Resources Geothermal Data Repository and are detailed in Engle (2018).

Depth grids of the flood-inundation maps for the North Platte River at Scottsbluff and Gering, Nebraska

Digital grids that represent the depth of flood waters for an 8.8-mile reach of the North Platte River, from 1.5 miles upstream of the Highway 92 bridge to 3 miles downstream of the Highway 71 bridge, were created by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Cities of Scottsbluff and Gering.  The flood-inundation maps, which can be accessed through the USGS Flood Inundation Mapping Science website at http://water.usgs.gov/osw/flood_inundation/, depict estimates of the areal extent and depth of flooding corresponding to selected water levels (stages) at the USGS streamgage on the Platte River at Scottsbluff, Nebr. (station 06680500).  Near-real-time stages at this streamgage may be obtained on the Internet from the USGS National Water Information System at https://doi.org/10.5066/F7P55KJN or from the National Weather Service Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service (site SBRN1) at https://water.weather.gov/ahps/.  
Flood profiles were computed for the stream reach by means of a one-dimensional step-backwater model.  The model was calibrated by using the current (2018) stage-discharge relation at the Platte River at Scottsbluff, Nebr., streamgage.
The hydraulic model was then used to compute 10 water-surface profiles for flood stages at 1-foot (ft) intervals referenced to the streamgage datum and ranging from 9 ft, or near bankfull, to 18 ft, which exceeds the stage that corresponds to the estimated 1-percent annual exceedance probability flood (100-year recurrence interval flood). 
The simulated water-surface profiles were then combined with a Geographic Information System digital elevation model derived from light detection and ranging data having a 0.6-ft root mean square error and 2-ft horizontal resolution resampled to a 6-ft grid to delineate the area flooded at each water level.
The availability of these maps, along with internet information regarding current stage from the USGS streamgage will provide emergency management personnel and residents with information that is critical for flood response activities such as evacuations and road closures, as well as for post flood recovery efforts.

Identify sources of high E. coli concentrations, Grand Calumet River Area of Concern beaches of southern Lake Michigan, 2016-2018

Data were collected as part of a study to identify sources of E. coli contamination at several beaches located in the Grand Calumet River Areas of Concern, located in northern Indiana on Lake Michigan. The study was funded by the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. Water samples were collected at each site (Jeorse Park 1, Jeorse Park 2, Hammond East, Hammond West, Whihala West, Whihala East, Whihala west breakwater, Hammond Marina, Whihala offshore locations, and the Grand Calumet River) one day a week or three times a week between 2015 and 2018. While the 2015 data were included in analysis, these data were previously publicly released https://doi.org/10.5066/F7H70F3D. Samples (water, sand, sediment) were analyzed for E. coli bacteria (an indicator bacterium for fecal contamination) and species-specific molecular markers (microbial source tracking, MST), including human (HF183, Mnif), gull (Gull2), and dog (DogBact). Presence of MST markers indicates a fecal source associated with the target animal at that location. Bird counts were recorded during each site visit. Water samples were analyzed in the laboratory for E. coli using defined substrate technology, for MST markers using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) methods, and turbidity, conductivity, and pH. Additionally in 2015, samples were collected during two dry and one wet event and subjected to metagenomics analysis for determining bacterial communities. The additional samples were collected at Whihala, Jeorse Park, Grand Calumet River, as well as three offshore locations associated with the Grand Calumet River: mouth to the lake at a peninsular structure and north and east of the structure.
Lat_long file includes information regarding sampling locations and their corresponding latitude and longitudes. The EcoliWaterChem data include E. coli densities and water chemistry (turbidity, conductivity, pH) measurements. Data from the MST file includes results from quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) method for detection of host-specific microbial source tracking markers as follows: Gulls (Gull2), Dogs (DogBact), and human (HF183, Mnif). Data from Birds included number of birds (gulls, geese, ducks, cormorants, etc.) counted on the beach and in the water. The metagenomics file includes taxonomic information and corresponding percent abundance of each organism for each sample. The metagenomics file includes taxonomic information and corresponding organisms' percent abundance for each sample. The metagenomicsKey file includes information pertinent to individual samples.

Controlled source audio-frequency magnetotellurics (CSAMT) data from the Big Chino Wash and Paulden areas, Yavapai County, Arizona

Controlled source audio-frequency magnetotellurics (CSAMT) data were collected in the Big Chino Valley and Paulden areas, Yavapai County, Arizona, to better understand the hydrogeology of the area. CSAMT data provide vertical cross-section (profile) data about the resistivity of the subsurface, which may be related to lithologic boundaries and (or) grain-size distribution in the subsurface. CSAMT involves transmitting a current at various frequencies in one location, and measuring resistivity differences between electrodes spaced along a receiver line several kilometers from the transmitter.

Effects of warming on development rates on Karner Blue Butterfly laboratory data (2011-2012)

The dataset is associated with a project that examines effects of climate change on the federally endangered Karner blue butterfly (Lycaeides melissa samuelis) by subjecting different life stages of the Karner blue to both historically average temperature regimes and temperature regimes 2, 4, and 6 degrees Celsius above historic means.  This dataset is composed of two spreadsheets: one for data collected in 2011, and the other for data collected in 2012. All experimental subjects were from an experimental colony of Karner blues maintained at the University of Notre Dame and derived from Karner blues collected, under USFWS permit, from Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore in 2010.  Karner blues were subjected to the different temperature regimes starting at the egg stage and continuing through larval, pupal, and adult stages, if the individual survived through those stages.  For each individual Karner blue, and for both years, the dataset contains the following variables: butterfly ID, Final Stage attained, Sex, Treatment, Generation, Adult Mass, Hatch Date, Adult Eclosion Date, Development time, and Egg Output for females. The 2011 dataset also includes some additional variables: Hatch/Eclosion Dates, Pupal Mass, Development Time, Degree Days at 12C lower threshold (the accumulative thermal units an individual experienced throughout the whole life above 12 Celsius degree), and daily Degree Days with same threshold. The 2012 dataset includes additional variables: wing area, abdominal area, thorax-ventral length, and snout-ventral length.
