Marine magnetics data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in U.S. Atlantic Seaboard in 2014 (Geographic, WGS84, point shapefile 2014-011-FA_mag.shp)

In summer 2014, the U.S. Geological Survey conducted a 21-day geophysical program in deep water along the Atlantic continental margin by using R/V Marcus G. Langseth (Field Activity Number 2014-011-FA). The purpose of the seismic program was to collect multichannel seismic reflection and refraction data to determine sediment thickness. These data enable the United States to delineate its Extended Continental Shelf (ECS) along the Atlantic margin. The same data can also be used to understand large submarine landslides and therefore assess their potential tsunami hazard for infrastructure and communities living along the eastern seaboard. Supporting geophysical data were collected as marine magnetic data, gravity data, 3.5-kilohertz shallow seismic reflections, multibeam echo sounder bathymetry, and multibeam backscatter. 
The survey was conducted from water depths of approximately 1,500 meters to abyssal seafloor depths greater than 5,000 meters. Approximately 2,761 kilometers of multi-channel seismic data was collected along with 30 sonobuoy profiles.
This field program had two primary objectives: (1) to collect some of the data necessary to establish the outer limits of the U.S. Continental Shelf, or Extended Continental Shelf, as defined by Article 76 of the United Nations Convention of the Law of the Sea and (2) to study the sudden mass transport of sediments down the continental margin as submarine landslides that pose potential tsunamigenic hazards to the Atlantic and Caribbean coastal communities.

Early Estimates of Exotic Annual Grass (EAG) in the Sagebrush Biome, USA, 2024 (ver. 5.0, May 2024)

These datasets provide early estimates of 2024 fractional cover for exotic annual grass (EAG) species and one native perennial grass species on a weekly basis from April to late June. Typically, the EAG estimates are publicly released within 7-13 days of the latest satellite observation used for that version. Each weekly release contains five fractional cover maps along with their corresponding confidence maps for: 1) a group of 16 species of EAGs, 2) cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum); 3) Field Brome (Bromus arvensis); 4) medusahead (Taeniatherum caput-medusae); and 5) Sandberg bluegrass (Poa secunda). These datasets were generated leveraging field observations from Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Assessment, Inventory, and Monitoring (AIM) data plots; Harmonized Landsat and Sentinel-2 (HLS) based Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI); other relevant environmental, vegetation, remotely sensed, and geophysical drivers; and artificial intelligence/machine learning techniques. A total of 38,242 AIM plots from years 2016–2023 were used to train an ensemble of five-fold regression-tree models using a cross-validation approach (each observation was used as test data once and as training data four times) that developed all the fractional cover maps. The geographic coverage includes arid and semi-arid rangelands in the western U.S classified as shrubs or grassland/herbaceous by the 2021 National Land Cover Database at or below 2350-m elevation.

Projections of coastal flood depths for Whatcom County, Northwest Washington State coast (2015-2100)

Projected flood depths associated with compound coastal flood hazards for future sea-level rise (SLR) and storm scenarios are provided for Whatcom County, Washington, in a series of raster geotiff files. Projections were made using a system of numerical models with atmospheric forcing, tides, sea level position and stream discharge driven by output from Global Climate Models (GCMs) from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5). The resulting computed coastal flood depths along the Whatcom County coast due to predicted sea level rise and future storm conditions consider the changing climate. In addition to sea-level rise, flood simulations run by these numerical models included dynamic contributions from tide, storm surge, wind, waves, and seasonal sea-level fluctuations. In the absence of concordant downscaled GCM stream discharge, daily average stream discharge was fed to the model. Outputs include flood depths from the combinations of SLR scenarios (0, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 and 5.0 m) storm conditions including 1-year, 5-year, 10-year, 20-year, 50-year and 100-year return interval storms and a background condition (no storm - astronomic tide and average atmospheric conditions). Predicted flood depths during the largest annual astronomic tides (King Tide) in combination with an average storm surge scenario are also provided.

Airborne magnetic and radiometric survey, Boulder Batholith region, Montana, 2022

This data release provides digital flight line data for a high-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey over parts of Montana in the vicinity of the Boulder Batholith. The airborne survey was jointly funded by the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative and Kennecott Exploration Company. The survey was designed to meet complementary needs related to geologic mapping and characterization of mineral resource potential. A total of 34,041 line km of magnetic and radiometric data were acquired over an irregular-shaped area of 6178 km. Data were collected from a helicopter flown at a nominal terrain clearance of 100 meters (m) above topography along E-W flight lines spaced at 200 m intervals. Tie lines were flown in an N-S direction every 2000 m. Data were collected by Sander Geophysics Limited (SGL), and Dewberry Engineers, Inc. under contract with the USGS using a helicopter with a magnetometer mounted in a stinger and a fully calibrated gamma-ray spectrometer. The survey operated out of the Butte, Montana, airport from June of 2022 to August of 2022. 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.

Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2021 Site 2634 land-water classification data

Wetland restoration efforts conducted by the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in Louisiana rely on monitoring efforts to determine the efficacy of these efforts. The Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) was developed to assist in a multiple-reference approach that uses aspects of hydrogeomorphic functional assessments and probabilistic sampling for monitoring. The CRMS program includes a suite of approximately 398 sites that encompass the range of hydrological and ecological conditions for each stratum. As part of CRMS, land and water classifications are created from Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quadrangles (DOQQs) approximately every three years at all CRMS sites. A DOQQ is a raster image in which displacement in the image caused by sensor orientation and terrain relief has been removed and combines the image characteristics of a photo with geometric qualities of a map. The DOQQs generated for this project consist of 2021 Color Infrared (CIR) Digital Imagery. These images were classified into land and water categories using a threshold of the near infrared (NIR) band, followed by supervised and unsupervised classification.  Initial classification results are then reviewed by multiple image analysts to identify and manually recode errors. The final land-water classifications are intended to serve as both geographic and quantitative assessments of landscape composition on the date of acquisition. Five previous assessments have been conducted (2005, 2008, 2012, 2015/2016, and 2018). Once the program creates enough data points for statistical analyses, these data will be used for land area change rate calculation.

Migration Routes of Elk in the South Wind River Herd in Wyoming

Migratory movements of elk within the South Wind River herd include short (i.e., 10 miles) to medium (i.e., 40 miles) distance migrations generally from low elevation winter ranges along the foothills to high elevation summer ranges within the Wind River Range. Elk movements along the west side of the Winds trend southwesterly from summer ranges to winter ranges, largely dependent upon winter severity. Some individuals traverse the Winds and winter in Red Canyon. There are a number of challenges for South Wind River elk. These include increasing vehicle collisions on US Highways 287 and 789 from Twin Creek to Beaver Rim and over South Pass and potential future energy development along the western side of the Wind River Range where recent oil and gas leasing has occurred on Bureau of Land Management and State of Wyoming managed lands.
These data provide the location of migration routes for Elk (Cervus canadensis) in the South Wind River herd in Wyoming. They were developed from Brownian bridge movement models using 60 migration sequences collected from a sample size of 24 animals comprising GPS locations collected every 2-8 hours.

Umpqua River Oregon Days Creek PhotoMosaic 1967

The Umpqua River drains 12,103 square kilometers (4,673 square miles) in southwest Oregon before flowing 
into the Pacific Ocean at Winchester Bay near the city of Reedsport. In cooperation with the Portland District 
of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the USGS evaluated sediment transport and gravel storage 
along the downstream alluvial reaches of the North and South Umpqua Rivers and the entire mainstem Umpqua 
River. This includes the lower 46.8 kilometers (29.1 miles) of the North Umpqua River and the lower 122.6 
kilometers (76.2 miles) of the South Umpqua River. 
	 
The Umpqua River gravel transport study involved multiple analyses, including tracking patterns of historical 
channel change and estimation of a sediment budget. To support these analyses, digital channel maps were 
produced to depict channel and floodplain conditions along the Umpqua River system from different time periods.
		
GIS layers defining the active channel of the Umpqua River system were developed for three time periods: 1939, 
1967, and 2005. For the South Umpqua River and the 19 kilometers (12 miles) of the mainstem Umpqua River 
downstream from the confluence of the North and South Umpqua Rivers, GIS layers were also developed for the 
time periods 1994, 2000, and 2009.
		
For this project, the active channel was defined as area typically inundated during annual high flows, and includes 
the low-flow channel as well as side channels, islands, and channel-flanking gravel bars. The active channel datasets 
were developed by digitizing from aerial photographs. Aerial photographs from 1939 and 1967 were scanned, rectified, 
and mosaiced for this project. Digital orthophotographs from 1994, 2000, 2005, and 2009 are publicly available 
(See metadata for each photograph set for more information on the rectification process and resolution of each dataset). 
Although our study area encompasses the Umpqua River and lower reaches of the North and South Umpqua Rivers, 
the extent of each dataset depended upon the underlying aerial photographs; for example, the 1967 photographs 
extend only as far downstream as floodplain kilometer 7, whereas the 1939 and 2005 datasets extend to the mouth 
of the Umpqua River at the Pacific Ocean.

Oregon Mule Deer Southeast Winter Ranges

Most of the Southeast mule deer herd winters along the Owyhee River in regions containing sagebrush communities and Columbia Basin grassland mixed with non-native annual grasslands. These mule deer either migrate west to summer ranges on Road Canyon and Gravel Ridges or east to the Owyhee Mountains along the Idaho border, with one mule deer migrating as far as Bald Mountain, 38.3 mi (61.6 km) into Idaho. Summer ranges feature shrubland, Columbia Basin grasslands, western juniper, and evergreen forests. In 2014, the Buzzard Complex fires burned 398,596 acres (161,306 ha), including Road Canyon, allowing medusahead and other non-native grasses to invade areas with originally low perennial plant abundance. Five mule deer winter separately near U.S. Route 95, in areas containing higher percentages of western juniper. In the spring, they travel southeast into Nevada to summer on the Santa Rosa Range, with one mule deer migrating to the Tuscarora Mountains. Of the Southeast mule deer that were tracked for at least 100 days, 82 percent migrate seasonally, with several moving to summer ranges in different states, complicating issues of population management. The Southeast mule deer herd faces several challenges, including highways and the low abundance of preferred browse. The northeastern section of U.S. Route 95 had an AADT value of 2,007 vehicles in 2018 and intersects multiple migration corridors, with mule deer commonly crossing the highway along Succor Creek and Rock Creek Flat. In summer, Southeast mule deer spend more time in riparian zones and must compete with grazing cattle in the Owyhee Mountains for high-quality forage during drought years when natural water sources evaporate. 
These mapping layers show the location of the winter ranges for mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in the Southeast population in Oregon. They were developed from 63 migration sequences collected from a sample size of 34 animals comprising GPS locations collected every 5−13 hours.

Raw Continuous Resistivity Profiles Collected in the Neuse River, May 4, 2005

The Neuse River Estuary in North Carolina is a broad, V-shaped water body located on the southwestern end of Pamlico Sound. This estuary suffers from severe eutrophication for which several water quality models have recently been developed to aid in the management of nutrient loading to the estuary. In an effort to help constrain model estimates of the fraction of nutrients delivered by direct ground-water discharge, continuous resistivity profile (CRP) measurements were made during the spring of 2004 and 2005. CRP is used to measure electrical resistivity of sediments, a property that is sensitive to difference in salinity of submarine ground water. The 2004 and 2005 surveys used floating resistivity streamers of 100 m and 50 m respectively. The depth penetration of the streamers is approximately 20% of the streamer length which translates to approximately 20-25 m with the 100 m streamer and 12-14 m with the 50 m streamer. These data were processed using AGI's EarthImager 2D software. CRP data enables the mapping of the extent and depth of the fresher ground water within the estuary.

Migration Stopovers of Mule Deer in the Upper San Joaquin Watershed Herd in California

Migratory mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) within the San Joaquin Watershed occupy most of the watershed above Kerckhoff Reservoir, Fresno and Madera Counties, California. Human infrastructure in the watershed is widespread and includes residential, water control, hydroelectric power, and recreational use developments. Steep topography between winter and summer range limit crossing points along the San Joaquin River. Habitat conditions favoring deer declined from a peak around 1950, resulting in a reduction in the deer population. The current deer population is believed to be about 4,000. A massive wildfire burned through most of the watershed in 2020, dramatically changing habitat conditions in some areas.
These data provide the location of migration stopovers for mule deer in the Upper San Joaquin Watershed population in California. They were developed from 55 migration sequences collected from a sample size of 30 animals comprising GPS locations collected every 2-12 hours.
