Channel Migration Rates of Stream Reaches in Indiana

An investigation was completed by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs that found 1,132 transportation and utility assets in Indiana are vulnerable to fluvial erosion hazards due to close proximity to actively migrating streams. Locations of transportation assets (bridges, roadways, and railroad lines) and selected utility assets (high-capacity overhead power-transmission lines, underground pipelines, water treatment facilities, and in-channel dams) were determined using aerial imagery hosted by the Google Earth platform. Identified assets were aggregated by stream reach, county, and class. The contents of this data release include (1) a comma-delimited text file summarizing the findings of that investigation, and (2) a polyline shapefile of the investigated stream reaches, which have been attributed with the channel migration rates documented in Robinson (2013a). Together, these products are intended to help stakeholders and others identify high-risk areas where transportation and utility assets may be threatened by fluvial erosion hazards.

Non-native fishes of the central Indian River Lagoon

We provide a comprehensive review of the status of non-native fishes in the central Indian River Lagoon (from Cape Canaveral to Grant-Valkaria, east of I-95) through literature review and field surveys.  Historical records exist for 17 taxa (15 species, one hybrid, one species complex).  We found historical records for one additional species and collected one species in our field survey that had never been recorded in the region before (and which we eradicated).  Thus, we evaluate 19 total taxa herein.  Of these, we document range expansion of four salt-tolerant cichlid species, extirpation of six species that were previously recorded from the area and eradication of three species.  There was no noticeable change in geographic range for one widespread species and the records for one species are doubtful and may be erroneous.  Currently, there is not enough information to evaluate geographic range for four species although at least one of these is established.  We provide information on how non-native fishes may interact with or exacerbate phytoplankton blooms and resulting trophic cascades.

Risk-targeted maximum considered earthquake ground motion (MCER) of 0.2-second spectral response acceleration

A seismic hazard model for South America, based on a smoothed (gridded) seismicity model, a subduction model, a crustal fault model, and a ground motion model, has been produced by the U.S. Geological Survey.  These models are combined to account for ground shaking from earthquakes on known faults as well as earthquakes on un-modeled faults.
This data set represents the probabilistic and deterministic values for 0.2-second spectral response acceleration for a grid of points with a spacing of 0.1 degrees in latitude and longitude.

Topographic Survey Data of Fountain Creek between Colorado Springs and the Confluence of Fountain Creek at the Arkansas River, Colorado, 2012

In 2012, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with Colorado Springs Utilities selected 10 reaches or study areas along Fountain Creek between Colorado Springs and the confluence of Fountain Creek at the Arkansas River for annual bed and bank characterization and topographic surveys.  The 10 selected study areas are approximately 5 to 20 bank-full channel widths in length.  The topographic surveys collected point data of location and elevation in the active channel and along both left and right banks and flood plains.  Starting in 2012, USGS personnel have collected topographic survey data annually during the winter, spring, or summer using real-time kinematic Global Navigation Satellite Systems.  These point data are interpolated to a grid which is used to generate annual digital elevation maps of each study area.  These annual maps are used to develop elevation change maps at each study area for each year.  The topographic survey data provide an annual assessment of the geomorphic change at each study area.

Sampled Sites for the Puget Sound Stormwater Action Monitoring small stream status and trends project

Stormwater Action Monitoring (SAM) is a collaborative monitoring program between western Washington municipal stormwater permittees, state and federal agencies.  SAM’s role is to use the results of regional monitoring and focused studies to inform policy decisions and identify effective strategies to improve stormwater management in the Puget Sound region.  The SAM program includes status and trends monitoring of water quality, stream biota (macroinvertebrates, algae), and stream habitat to measure whether conditions are getting better or worse and identify patterns in healthy and impaired Puget Lowland streams.
To meet this objective, a framework of fundamental geospatial data was required to develop physical and anthropogenic characteristics of the study region, sampled sites and corresponding watersheds, and riparian zones. This sampled sites dataset represents the most downstream location from 105 sites sampled for the SAM small stream study, and is one of the four fundamental geospatial data layers that were developed for this study. In addition to the SAM sites, 16 reference sites in the Puget lowlands sampled by the Washington State Department of Ecology’s Ambient Biological Monitoring program from 2010 to 2015 were included in this analysis to provide a regional context for the SAM study. In total, downstream locations for 121 sites are provided in this data release.
SAM sample sites were selected from the Washington State Master Sample Site List (http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/eap/stsmf/mss.html) generated for Puget Lowland ecrogregion streams that drain to Puget Sound.  Sites were specified for one of two location categories: inside the Urban Growth Area (UGA) and outside the UGA boundaries. The goals of site selection were to have 50 sites within each of these two categories and to select small to medium size streams (zero-third order) with perennial freshwater flow in natural substrate channels (no canals, lined or concrete ditches).

Gridded earthquake rates (a-grids)

A seismic hazard model for South America, based on a smoothed (gridded) seismicity model, a subduction model, a crustal fault model, and a ground motion model, has been produced by the U.S. Geological Survey.  These models are combined to account for ground shaking from earthquakes on known faults as well as earthquakes on un-modeled faults.
Seismicity rates are estimated by counting historical earthquakes in a grid with a cell dimension of 0.1 degrees in latitude and longitude.  These gridded earthquake rates are smoothed using a 50 kilometer fixed length smoothing kernel.  Separate rate models were developed for the craton and active tectonic regions for earthquake depths between 0 and 50 km.  Gridded rates for earthquakes with depths greater than 50 km were done separately.
