Water chemistry data for samples collected at groundwater sites near the Fruitvale oil field, September 2016–February 2017, Kern County, California (ver. 2.0, July 2020)

As part of the California State Water Resources Control Board’s Oil and Gas Regional  Monitoring Program , the U.S. Geological Survey collected groundwater and quality-control (QC) samples during September 2016–February 2017 from 14 water-production wells located within a one-mile buffer zone of and in the Fruitvale Oil field, Kern County, California.  
Samples were analyzed for water-quality indicators, major and minor ions, nutrients, trace elements, volatile organic compounds, naturally occurring radioactive material, geochemical and age-dating tracers, dissolved organic carbon, dissolved standard and hydrocarbon gases, and dissolved noble and atmospheric gases. In total, 235 constituents and water-quality indicators were measured.  Quality-control samples including replicates; source-solution, equipment, and field blanks; laboratory spikes; and split samples for inter-lab comparisons were collected at approximately 10 percent of the wells. The water well and associated quality-control sample data are presented in this data release.

Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) data collected adjacent to Blacktail Creek in June 2017 near Williston, North Dakota, USA

In June 2017, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) collected geophysical measurements to help map variations in electrical properties to infer shallow flowpaths and storage zones influenced by residual spilled unconventional oil and gas (UOG). Two survey profiles were collected, each including dipole-dipole and Wenner-Schlumberger configurations. For each survey a total of 56 electrodes spaced 1.0 meter (m) apart were used. During the ERT measurement, current is injected through two current electrodes and voltage is measured sequentially across multiple pairs of potential electrodes; the known current and the measured voltages are used to determine the apparent resistivity of the subsurface. Inverse modeling of ERT survey results provide profiles of resistivity that can be interpreted for subsurface layers. This data release provides the raw ERT data and output from inversion.

Single-beam bathymetric survey of the French Broad River near the Interstate-26 bridge located South of Asheville, NC – June 2019, Pre-construction

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) began work on a highway widening project on Interstate-26 (I-26) in January 2020.  The French Broad River flows adjacent to and under I-26 in the project area, located in Buncombe County of North Carolina.  The NCDOT identified channel and streambank morphology as a potential indicator they were interested in monitoring at three focus areas to track impacts from construction activities. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the NCDOT conducted a single-beam bathymetric survey of one of the three focus areas in June of 2019, approximately seven months before construction was to begin.  The survey extended from 300 meters (m) upstream to 500 m downstream of the I-26 bridge across the French Broad River located south of Asheville, North Carolina. Depth data were collected using a CEESCOPE (CEE Hydrosystems, 2015a) single-beam echosounder mounted to a canoe. Position and elevation data were collected using Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) global positioning system technology following the single-base RTK approach outlined by Rydlund and Densmore (2012). The final dataset provides position data in three dimensions with units of meters supplied in a “XYZ” file.   The data are projected in Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system, zone 17 N, horizontally referenced to the North American Datum of 1983 (NGS, 2018a), 2011 realization (NAD83 2011), and vertically referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88; NGS, 2018b). This dataset will be used to construct a digital elevation model (DEM) of the French Broad River bathymetry in the study area to inform the NCDOT’s river monitoring and stewardship plan throughout the duration of the I-26 widening project.

Organic petrographic evaluation of carbonaceous material in sediments of the Kinnickinnic River, Milwaukee, WI, U.S.A.

This study describes the application of organic petrology techniques to quantify the amount of coal and carbonaceous combustion by-products (i.e., coke, coal tar/pitch, cenospheres) in sediments taken from the Kinnickinnic River adjacent to the former site of the Milwaukee Solvay Coke and Gas Company.  The site produced metallurgical coke and coal-gasification by-products from 1902-1983 and was assessed in 2001 as a potential Superfund site in part due to high levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) which readily absorb to coal and combustion by-products.

Airborne magnetic and radiometric survey over northwest Arkansas, 2019-2020

This publication provides digital flight line data for a high-resolution magnetic and radiometric survey over an area of northwest Arkansas. The airborne geophysical survey was jointly funded by the USGS National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program and the Earth Mapping Resource Initiative and was designed to meet the complimentary needs related to geologic mapping and mineral resource research. The survey covers an irregular area 225 by 110 kilometer over the transition between the Ouachita and Ozarks Plateau physiographic provinces and includes 67,614 line-kilometers of magnetic and radiometric data. Data were collected from a fixed-wing aircraft flown at mean terrain clearance of 167 meters (m) above topography along N-S flight lines spaced at 200-m intervals. Tie lines were flown in an E-W direction every 3000 m. Data were collected by EON Geosciences under contract with the USGS using a fixed wing aircraft with a magnetometer mounted in the tail stinger and a fully calibrated gamma-ray spectrometer. The survey operated out of the Branson, Missouri airport from October of 2019 to March of 2020. Files that are available in this publication include flight line data for the magnetic survey, flight line data for the radiometric survey and a report describing the survey parameters, field operations, quality control and data reduction procedures. A zip file is provided that contains the contractor's deliverable products that includes Geosoft databases and grids for the magnetic and radiometric survey and the report describing the survey and data reduction.

Hindcast (1981-2010) and projected (2011-2100) coastal storm events, including duration, wave conditions, and storm surges in the vicinity of Arey Lagoon and Barter Island, Alaska

Numerically modeled ocean storm conditions of hindcast (1981-2010) and projected (2011-2100) storm events in the nearshore region of Arey Lagoon, Alaska. Storms were identified from time-series of dynamically downscaled deep-water wave conditions using WaveWatch3 (WW3) and nearshore storm surges using the Deltares Delft3D model. A storm was defined as having offshore water wave heights &gt;= 2 meters (m) and storm surges &gt;=0 m. The data in this file provide a listing of individual storm dates, storm duration, and the maximum offshore wave heights and resulting nearshore wave conditions (seas and swell) and storm surges associated with each storm. A series of hindcast and projected flooding extreme and decadal flood maps are also available.
