Arundo donax (Arundo Cane) Image Classification along the Rio Grande in Webb County, Texas, May 07, 2021

This dataset contains a thematic [classified] image derived from supervised classification of WorldView-3 satellite imagery. This data release contains a geospatial thematic (raster) image derived from a supervised classification of WorldView-3 satellite imagery obtained during 2020–21. 
Arundo donax (Arundo cane, giant reed, or Carrizo cane), is an invasive bamboo-like perennial grass most common to riparian areas throughout the southwestern United States. Because it displaces native riparian vegetation, Arundo cane has greatly disrupted the health of riparian ecosystems in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico during the past 50 years. Arundo cane also has created border security problems along the Rio Grande as it grows in tall, thick stands that reduce visibility. In 2015-2016, the Texas State Legislature directed the Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board (TSSWCB) to “develop and implement a program to eradicate Carrizo cane along the Rio Grande” (Texas Senate Bill 1734). One of the ecosystem-based approaches implemented by TSSWCB was the use of imazapyr and glyphosate herbicides. To better understand the effects of the herbicide treatment on the targeted vegetation, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with TSSWCB, acquired high-resolution WorldView-3 Standard Imagery on 3 days to assess Arundo cane extent along the reach before, during, and after the herbicide treatment period (June 30, 2020, September 26, 2020, and May 07, 2021, respectively). Following a similar methodology described by Yang and others (2009), the assessment was completed by computing a maximum likelihood supervised classification on WorldView-3 imagery to estimate the areas covered by Arundo cane, water, and mixed cover on a one-mile buffer, east of the Rio Grande on the Texas side of the Mexico/United States border. Water-quality data associated with the herbicide treatment were collected from a segment of the Rio Grande in conjunction with the acquisition of the imagery data. The water-quality data are available in a separate USGS data release (Crow, 2021).

Spreadsheet of best models for each downscaled climate dataset and for all downscaled climate datasets considered together (Best_model_lists.xlsx)

The Florida Flood Hub for Applied Research and Innovation and the U.S. Geological Survey have developed projected future change factors for precipitation depth-duration-frequency (DDF) curves at 242 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Atlas 14 stations in Florida. The change factors were computed as the ratio of projected future to historical extreme-precipitation depths fitted to extreme-precipitation data from downscaled climate datasets using a constrained maximum likelihood (CML) approach as described in https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20225093. The change factors correspond to the period 2020-59 (centered in 2040) or to the period 2050-89 (centered in the year 2070) as compared to the 1966-2005 historical period.  
A Microsoft Excel workbook is provided that tabulates best models for each downscaled climate dataset and for all downscaled climate datasets considered together. Best models were identified based on how well the models capture the climatology and interannual variability of four climate extreme indices using the Model Climatology Index (MCI) and the Model Variability Index (MVI) of Srivastava and others (2020). The four indices consist of annual maxima consecutive precipitation for durations of 1, 3, 5, and 7 days compared against the same indices computed based on the PRISM and SFWMD gridded precipitation datasets for five climate regions: climate region 1 in Northwest Florida, 2 in North Florida, 3 in North Central Florida, 4 in South Central Florida, and climate region 5 in South Florida. The PRISM dataset is based on the Parameter-elevation Relationships on Independent Slopes Model interpolation method of Daly and others (2008). The South Florida Water Management District’s (SFWMD) precipitation super-grid is a gridded precipitation dataset developed by modelers at the agency for use in hydrologic modeling (SFWMD, 2005). This dataset is considered by the SFWMD as the best available gridded rainfall dataset for south Florida and was used in addition to PRISM to identify best models in the South Central and South Florida climate regions. Best models were selected based on MCI and MVI evaluated within each individual downscaled dataset. In addition, best models were selected by comparison across datasets and referred to as "ALL DATASETS" hereafter. Due to the small sample size, all models in the using the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (JupiterWRF) dataset were considered as best models.

Digital Shoreline Analysis System version 4.3 transects and long-term linear regression shoreline change statistics without shorelines from 1970-1979 and 1994 in the Buzzards Bay coastal region from Nobska Point in Woods Hole, to Westport at the Rhode Island border (BuzzardsBay_transects_rates_LTwo.shp)

Due to continued coastal population growth and increased threats of erosion, current data on trends and rates of shoreline movement are required to inform shoreline and floodplain management. The Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management launched the Shoreline Change Project in 1989 to identify erosion-prone areas of the coast. In 2001, a 1994 shoreline was added to calculate both long- and short-term shoreline change rates at 40-meter intervals along ocean-facing sections of the Massachusetts coast.
The Coastal and Marine Geology Program of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management, has compiled reliable historical shoreline data along open-facing sections of the Massachusetts coast under the Massachusetts Shoreline Change Mapping and Analysis Project 2013 Update. Two oceanfront shorelines for Massachusetts (approximately 1,800 km) were (1) delineated using 2008/09 color aerial orthoimagery, and (2) extracted from topographic LIDAR datasets (2007) obtained from NOAA's Ocean Service, Coastal Services Center. The new shorelines were integrated with existing Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management and USGS historical shoreline data in order to compute long- and short-term rates using the latest version of the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS).

New U-Pb Geochronology and Geochemistry of Paleozoic Metaigneous Rocks from Western Yukon and Eastern Alaska

This data release contains three tables of U-Pb zircon isotopic data generated from analyses of 40 metaplutonic and metavolcanic rocks from the Yukon-Tanana Upland of western Yukon and east-central Alaska and one sample from southern Yukon. One of the tables also reports U-Pb data for two titanite analyses for one of the samples. U-Pb zircon ages from analyzed samples range from 363.5 ± 3.8 to 253.1 ± 0.7 Ma and were collected from parautochthonous North America and the allochthonous Yukon-Tanana terrane. U-Pb zircon data include 216 individual analyses by ID-TIMS and 35 individual analyses of two samples by LA-ICP-MS. ID-TIMS analyses of titanite give concordant 206Pb-238U ages of 333 and 338 Ma. Two U-Pb tables report the isotopic composition of uranium (U) and thorium (Pb) measured in each grain, ratios of isotopes of lead and uranium isotopes, and the age of each grain. A third table reports interpreted U-Pb ages, sample locations, tectonic assemblage or unit, lithology, analysis method, laboratory used, and basis for age assignment. The data release also contains two tables of whole-rock major- and trace-element geochemical data for metaigneous rocks from the Yukon-Tanana Upland in east-central Alaska for augen gneiss (15 samples) and amphibolite (30 samples).
