U.S. Conterminous Wall-to-Wall Anthropogenic Land Use Trends (NWALT), 1974-2012

This dataset provides a U.S. national 60-m, 19-class mapping of anthropogenic 
land uses for five time periods: 1974-1982-1992-2002-2012.  The 2012 dataset 
is based on a slightly modified version of the National Land Cover Database 
2011 (NLCD 2011) that was recoded to a schema of land uses, and mapped 
back in time to develop datasets for the four earlier eras. The time periods 
coincide with years in which U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Census 
of Agriculture data were collected.  Changes are derived from 
			
			(a) known changes in water bodies from reservoir construction or removal, 
			(b) housing unit density changes, 
			(c) regional mining/extraction trends, 
			(d) for 1999-2012, timber and forestry activity based on US Geological Survey (USGS) Landfire data, 
			(e) county-level USDA Census of Agriculture change in cultivated land, and 
			(f) establishment dates of major conservation areas.
			
The data are compared to several other published studies and datasets as 
validation.	Caveats are provided about limitations of the data for some classes. 
The work was completed as part of the USGS National Water-Quality 
Assessment (NAWQA) Program and termed the NAWQA Wall-to-Wall 
Anthropogenic Land Use Trends (NWALT) dataset, with anticipation of five 
year updates for future versions. The associated datasets include five 60-m 
geospatial rasters showing anthropogenic land use from 1974-2012 and 14 
rasters showing the extent of timber clear-cutting and harvest for 1999-2012.

Fire following the Mw 7.0 HayWired earthquake scenario

These data are a geospatial representation of potential damage resulting from fires following the HayWired earthquake scenario, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake occurring on the Hayward Fault on April 18, 2018, with an epicenter in the city of Oakland, CA. These data take information about prevailing conditions (for example, average wind speed and direction) and potential hazard information (for example, ground shaking and liquefaction) and model the resulting fire-based damages which could occur following the HayWired scenario mainshock. The results are presented as a series of Voronoi polygons centered on known fire stations in the region.
This vector .SHP dataset was developed and intended for use in GIS applications such as ESRI's ArcGIS software suite.
These data support the following publication: Scawthorn, C., 2018, Fire following the HayWired scenario mainshock, chap. P of Detweiler, S.T., and Wein, A.M., eds., The HayWired earthquake scenario—Engineering implications: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2017-5013-I-Q, 429 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20175013.

Wyoming Pronghorn Shirley Basin Routes

The Medicine Bow pronghorn population is one of the largest herds in the United States with an estimated population of 38,400 animals. The herd summers in the sagebrush steppe and grasslands of Shirley Basin, north of Medicine Bow, Wyoming. Most pronghorn migrate either west to the southern edge of the Seminoe Reservoir or north to Bates Hole, an area south of Casper, Wyoming. During harsh winters, some pronghorn migrate 65–75 miles (105–121 km) as far west as Rawlins, Wyoming. The Shirley Basin is a mostly intact landscape that is dominated by private lands, with only limited public lands along some foothill habitats. During the early 2000s, several large wind energy facilities were developed; some are in high-use migration corridors and in areas designated as crucial pronghorn winter range. The effects of wind energy development on pronghorn are not well understood, but recent research in Shirley Basin revealed wind energy development causes pronghorn to avoid some preferred habitats. U.S. Highways 30 and 287 and Interstate 80 seemingly bound the movement of these pronghorn to the south. Other challenges Medicine Bow pronghorn face are crossing U.S. Highway 487 and miles of fencing, which can often be a barrier to movement.
These mapping layers show the location of the Migration routes for Pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) in the Sihrley Basin population in Wyoming. They were developed from 411 migration sequences collected from a sample size of 123 animals comprising GPS locations collected every 2 hours.

Digital map of hydrothermal alteration type, key mineral groups, and green vegetation of the southwestern United States derived from automated analysis of ASTER satellite data

Mineral groups identified through automated analysis of remote sensing data acquired by the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) were used to generate a map showing the type and spatial distribution of hydrothermal alteration, other exposed mineral groups, and green vegetation across the southwestern conterminous United States. Boolean algebra was used to combine mineral groups identified through analysis of visible, near-infrared, and shortwave-infrared ASTER data into attributed alteration types and mineral classes based on common mineralogical definitions of such types and the minerals present within the mineral groups. Alteration types modeled in this way can be stratified relative to acid producing and neutralizing potential to aid in geoenvironmental watershed studies. This mapping was performed in support of multidisciplinary studies involving the predictive modeling of mineral deposit occurrence and geochemical environments at watershed to regional scales. These studies seek to determine the relative effects of mining and non-anthropogenic hydrothermal alteration on watershed surface water geochemistry and faunal populations. The presence or absence of hydrothermally-altered rocks and (or) specific mineral groups can be used to model the favorability of occurrence of certain types of mineral deposits, and aid in the delineation of permissive tracts for these deposits.  These data were used as a data source for the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Sagebrush Mineral-Resource Assessment (SaMiRA).  This map, in ERDAS Imagine (.img) format, has been attributed by pixel value with material identification data that can be queried in most image processing and GIS software packages. Three files are included with this product: file with .img extension contains thematic image attributes and geographic projection data, file with .ige extension contains the raster data, and the file with .rrd extension includes pyramid data for fast display.

Magnetotelluric and TEM Data from the Umatilla Indian Reservation Geothermal Resources  Assessment: Phase 2, 2020: Station 207

This data set consists of 19 wideband magnetotelluric (MT) and 23 transient electromagnetic (TEM) soundings collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in June 2020 as part of the Umatilla Indian Reservation Geothermal Resources Assessment: Phase 2 project. Each MT station had 4 components, 2 orthogonal magnetic induction coils and 2 horizontal orthogonal electric dipoles.  Data were collected for an average of 18 hours on a repeating schedule of alternating sampling rates of 256 samples/second for 5 hours and 50 minutes and 4096 samples/second for 10 minutes.  The schedules were set such that each station was recording the same schedule to allow for remote reference processing.  Data were processed with a bounded-influence robust remote reference processing scheme (BIRRP v5.2.1, Chave and Thomson, 2004).  Data quality were generally poor due to episodic spikes in the electromagnetic fields likely caused by the power grid.  TEM data were collected in 100 x 100 m loops or 40 x 40 m loops along 4 profiles in areas of interest for geothermal potential.  Files included in this publication include measured electric- and magnetic-field time series for MT data, and TEM soundings and 1-D resistivity models.

Fractional Estimates of Multiple Exotic Annual Grass (EAG) Species in the Sagebrush Biome, USA - 2016

This dataset release provides historical (2016 - 2023) estimates of fractional cover for Exotic Annual Grass (EAG) species and a native perennial bunch grass in the arid and semi-arid rangelands of the western United States. The dataset includes four (five for 2023) fractional cover maps per year, accompanied by corresponding confidence maps, for a group of 16 species of EAGs, Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum); Medusahead (Taeniatherum caput-medusae); and Sandberg Bluegrass (Poa secunda). Field Brome (Bromus arvensis) is added as individual map species in 2023. The data were generated using a combination of field observations from Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Assessment, Inventory, and Monitoring (AIM) plots; remotely sensed data from the Harmonized Landsat and Sentinel-2 (HLS) product (specifically Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI)), and various environmental, vegetation, remotely sensed, and geophysical drivers. Additionally, artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques were employed in the data generation process. 
It should be noted that the training of regression-tree models and the development of historical maps (2016-2020) utilized a total of 17,536 AIM plots from years 2016 – 2019. For the creation of 2021 maps, 19,415 AIM plots from years 2016 - 2021 were employed, and 2022 maps, 28,901 AIM plots from 2016-2022 were used. In the case of 2016 – 2020 maps, areas above 2250-m elevation and pixels classified other than grassland/herbaceous or shrub (likely rangelands) were masked based on the 2016 National Land Cover Database (NLCD).  2021 onward maps, areas above 2350-m elevation and pixels classified as other than grassland/herbaceous by the 2019 NLCD for 2021 and 2022 and 2021 NLCD for 2023 were masked. The seed source variable from the Rangeland Analysis Platform (RAP) [Jones et al., 2018]) was used as one of the drivers for modeling of 2016 – 2020 maps but was not utilized for modeling of 2021 and later maps. Additionally, HLS NDWI were not used after 2021 maps. All other predictor variables are identical for all sets of maps. For details, please check data quality information section.

Tracklines of swath bathymetry collected by the U.S. Geological Survey offshore of the Chandeleur Islands, LA, 2007 (bathy_trk_07007.shp, polylines)

In 2006 and 2007, the U.S. Geological Survey, in partnership with Louisiana Department of Natural Resources and the University of New Orleans, conducted geologic mapping to characterize the sea floor and shallow subsurface stratigraphy offshore of the Chandeleur Islands in Eastern Louisiana. The mapping was carried out during two cruises on the R/V Acadiana. Data were acquired with the following equipment: an SEA Ltd SwathPlus interferometric sonar (234 kHz), Klein 3000 dual frequency sidescan sonar, and an Edgetech 512i chirp subbottom profiling system. The long-term goal of this mapping effort is to produce high-quality geologic maps and geophysical interpretations that can be utilized to investigate the impact of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and to identify sand resources within the region.
