Channel and floodplain cross-section and bed-elevation data for the Green River in Echo, Island, and Rainbow Parks, Dinosaur National Monument, Colorado and Utah

These data were compiled to determine the rate and magnitude of channel-planform change, and the topographic change of the channel and floodplain in Echo, Island, and Rainbow Parks within Dinosaur National Monument between the 1990s and 2019. The objective(s) of our study were to analyze geomorphic change within Echo, Island, and Rainbow Parks to determine the magnitude and style of channel change with respect to the past two decades of combined streamflow from Flaming Gorge Dam and the relatively unregulated Yampa River. These data represent river channel planform delineations made within a geographic information system, and topographic channel and floodplain data collected using total stations, depth sounders, Real-Time Kinematic GNSS, and multibeam sonar. These data were collected in June 2019.

Central California classified croplands by crop type between 2005 - 2020

This dataset is a collection of 321,894 polygons representing crop fields and classified crop types for each examined year across the study period (2005 - 2020) in central California. These classified fields are the result of random forest classification using Landsat and National Agricultural Imagery Program remotely sensed imagery. Training data for this random forest classification comes from the associated child dataset of labeled location point data. Each polygon comes from the California Department of Water Resources 2018 Statewide Crop Map. Nine crop types were classified: rice, pasture, grain, field, citrus and mediterranean, deciduous fruit and nut, vineyard, fallow and young perennial, and truck, nursery, and berry.

Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) version 5.1 transects with short-term linear regression rate calculations for the sheltered central Beaufort Sea coast of Alaska from the Hulahula River to the Colville River

This dataset consists of short-term (less than 39 years) shoreline change rates for the mainland coast of Alaska sheltered by barrier islands from the Hulahula River to the Colville River. Rate calculations were computed within a GIS using the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) version 5.1, an ArcGIS extension developed by the U.S. Geological Survey. Short-term rates of shoreline change were calculated using a linear regression rate-of-change method based on available shoreline data between 1979 and 2017. A reference baseline was used as the originating point for the orthogonal transects cast by the DSAS software. The transects intersect each shoreline establishing measurement points, which are then used to calculate short-term rates.

Conservation Efforts Database Spatial Reporting Units (SRUs)

This geospatial layer is a spatial index for the CED (Conservation Efforts Database https://conservationefforts.org/), serving as a spatial framework for summary reports by area (a.k.a. polygon). In addition, this SRU (Sagebrush Reporting Unit) data is an option for data providers to provide spatial ambiguity to alleviate concerns of too much spatial detail representing private landowners’ efforts efforts and to protect Personally Identifiable Information. This option allows CED data providers to pick a predetermined SRU instead of submitting the explicit effort boundary. These SRUs are large enough to provide spatial ambiguity and obscure private landowner locations. This SRU data is in the format of a GIS polygon layer and is an aggregate of USGS partner’s lek cluster layer, BLM HAF data modified by Oregon, Idaho layers, and CED development team modification for CED purposes.

Longitudinal Profiles of the Bad (Mashkiiziibii) and Kakagon Rivers in the Bad River Estuary, Wisconsin, Derived from Sonar Surveys Conducted 2015-2022

Longitudinal profiles of water depths were collected by sonar equipment from the centerline of the Bad River (Mashkiiziibii) channel in 2015, 2016, 2021, and 2022 and from the Kakagon channel in 2021 and 2022. Long profile points from each collection were referenced to a common water surface datum and channel centerline, and assigned a longitudinal distance upstream from the river mouth, allowing for comparison between years and evaluation of channel bed aggradation and incision through time. The 2021 depth values were additionally converted into elevations referenced to the NAVD88 datum and integrated into the digital elevation model (DEM) representing post-flood land surface conditions that was used in the landform mapping, geomorphic change, and estuary inundation analyses.

Total organic carbon and programmed temperature pyrolysis data for the Bakken Formation, Williston Basin, USA

One hundred ninety-six black shale samples of the Late Devonian-Early Mississippian Bakken Formation were selected from eight drill cores located in Montana and North Dakota, USA. Samples were powdered and total organic carbon and programmed temperature pyrolysis analysis were performed at the U.S. Geological Survey Petroleum Geochemistry Research Laboratory in Denver, CO following standard lab protocols. Total organic carbon contents are reported as wt. % whole rock. Programmed pyrolysis measurements are reported as: S1 (mg HC/g rock), S2 (mg HC/g rock), and S3 (mg CO2/g rock). These values were converted to wt. % C (relative to whole rock) as follows: mg HC/g rock * 0.082 = wt. % C, mg CO2/g rock * 0.025. The S4 carbon pool is calculated as: S4 = TOC – S1 – S2- S3. Tmax values are reported in °C.

Treeband measurements of Taxodium distichum in coastal Louisiana, USA from August 2004 through April 2016

To study the long-term effects of hydrology and salinity on the health of these systems, we fitted dendrometer bands on selected trees in permanent forest productivity plots established between 2004 and 2006 within six baldcypress stands. Three of these stands were in freshwater sites permanently or seasonally flooded with low salinity (0.1-1.3 ppt), while the other three are affected by tide and chronic, slightly higher salinity (0.2-4.9 ppt). Water level was logged continuously, and salinity was measured manually monthly to quarterly on the surface and in groundwater wells. Higher salinity decreased baldcypress radial growth, while more flooding increased radial growth. Results of this study illustrate that complex interactions between hydrology and salinity drive the growth and productivity of tide-influenced baldcypress forests in coastal Louisiana.

Bathymetry data for embayment in Duwamish River on left bank between river miles 1.4 and 1.5, 2021

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology), conducted a study to describe the current understanding of the regional groundwater system of the lower Duwamish River valley and groundwater and surface-water interactions in the lower Duwamish Waterway. A nearshore site along the western shoreline of the Duwamish River, about 1.5 mi upstream from the river mouth, was selected for focused groundwater data collection by USGS. A bathymetric survey of the embayment adjacent to the nearshore site was conducted in 2021 to support the understanding of groundwater and surface-water interactions. This data release contains the bathymetric data support the larger work.

Oil and Gas Exploration and Production in the State of Pennsylvania Shown as Quarter-Mile Cells

A cells polygon feature class was created by the U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) to illustrate the degree of exploration, type of production, and distribution of production in the State of Pennsylvania.  Each cell represents a quarter-mile square of the land surface, and the cells are coded to represent whether the wells included within the cell are predominantly oil-producing, gas-producing, both oil and gas-producing, or the type of production of the wells located within the cell is unknown or dry.  Data were retrieved from the Pennsylvania Internet Record Imaging System (PA*IRIS).  Cells were developed as a graphic solution to overcome the problem of displaying proprietary well data.  No proprietary data are displayed or included in the cell maps.  The data are current as of 2006.
