Marine Magnetic Anomalies of the Bering Sea and Pacific Ocean North of 35°N

The text file in CSV (comma-separated values) format contains marine magnetic data from 291 cruises
in the Northern Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea.  These data originate from two sources: 266 cruises from the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) Marine Trackline
Geophysical Database (GEODAS) -- https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/iso?id=gov.noaa.ngdc:G00129 --
and 25 cruises from USGS holdings, including Scheirer and others (2023). Magnetic records were assigned one of three codes
for quality and usability: 0=good data, -1=good data, but magnetic anomalies cannot be recalculated because of missing
total field values (three cruises), and -2=bad data.  Magnetic anomalies were calculated with the definitive geomagnetic
reference field (DGRF) models included in the 12th Generation of the International Geomagnetic Reference Field model
(Thébault and others, 2015).

EasternLA2008_EAARLA_BE_n88g03_metadata: EAARL Coastal Topography–Eastern Louisiana Barrier Islands, 09 March 2008: Bare Earth

ASCII XYZ point cloud data were produced from remotely sensed, geographically referenced elevation measurements by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Elevation measurements were collected over some of the eastern Louisiana barrier islands in cooperation with the National Park Service (NPS), using the Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar (EAARL), a pulsed laser ranging system mounted onboard an aircraft to measure ground elevation, vegetation canopy, and coastal topography. The system uses high-frequency laser beams directed at the Earth's surface through an opening in the bottom of the aircraft's fuselage. The laser system records the time difference between emission of the laser beam and the reception of the reflected laser signal in the aircraft. The plane travels over the target area at approximately 60 meters per second at an elevation of approximately 300 meters, resulting in a laser swath of approximately 240 meters with an average point spacing of 2-3 meters. The EAARL, developed originally by NASA at Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, measures ground elevation with a vertical resolution of 3 centimeters. A sampling rate of 3 kilohertz or higher results in an extremely dense spatial elevation dataset. Over 100 kilometers of coastline can be surveyed easily within a 3- to 4-hour mission. When resultant elevation maps for an area are analyzed, they provide a useful tool to make management decisions regarding land development.

Seamless Integrated Geologic Map Database of the Intermountain West: Contributions to The National Geologic Map

This dataset is intended to provide seamless, integrated geologic mapping of the U.S. Intermountain West region as a contribution to The National Geologic Map supported by the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program of the U.S. Geological Survey. Surficial and bedrock geology are included in this data release as independent datasets at a variable resolution from 1:50,000 to 1:250,000 scale. No original interpretations are presented in this dataset; rather, all interpretive data are assimilated from referenceable publications. Derivative polygon features created for this dataset demonstrate the distribution of SIGMa-GeMS Geologic Provinces derived from the distribution of map units. 
Initial contributions to this data release are along an east-west transect along 37-degrees north latitude that extends from the Rio Grande Rift and Great Plains in the east to the Basin and Range and Sierra Nevada to the west. Other areas of the Intermountain West region will be incorporated over time. Data are presented as downloadable file geodatabases (*.gdb) and as features services that can be directly ingested into GIS software for analysis. This dataset is intended to be versioned regularly as new geologic map data is integrated. The data structure follows the Seamless Integrated Geologic Mapping extension (SIGMa) (Turner and others, 2022) to the Geologic Map Schema (GeMS) (USGS, 2020).

Summary of Detection Data for Breeding Common Loons in North-central Minnesota (2023)

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill caused extensive injury to natural resources in the Gulf of Mexico, and Gavia immer (common loon) were negatively affected from the spill. The Open Ocean Trustee Implementation Group funded the project Restoration of Common Loons in Minnesota to restore common loons lost to the spill. In 2020–21, study lakes in an eight-county region in north-central Minnesota were identified to focus project activities. In 2023 surveys were conducted on these lakes to monitor common loon territory occupancy, nest success, and chick survival. This dataset includes a summary of total number of artificial nesting platforms (ANP), total number of ANP and natural nests, ANP and natural nest success, total number of chicks hatched, and number of chicks that survived to August surveys for 141 territories across 56 lakes within the eight-county study area. The 2021-2022 dataset can be located at https://doi.org/10.5066/P9LA536E.  We intend to present formal analyses of these and subsequently-collected data after the completion of this multi-year study.

Streambank vertical temperature profile data collected along tributaries to Farmington River, CT, USA in 2021

Groundwater is often supersaturated in greenhouse gases (GHGs; i.e. CO2, CH4, N2O) and delivers these gasses to stream channels where they are either emitted, consumed, or transported downstream. However, areas of relatively spatially-focused (‘preferential’) groundwater discharge   may also be located above the waterline and be immediate sources of GHGs to the atmosphere before moving down the streambank and mixing with surface waters. The rate at which groundwater discharges from exposed streambanks may alter the amount of instantaneous emissions that occur at preferential groundwater discharge zones. To quantify vertical groundwater flux rates from exposed preferential groundwater discharge points along exposed streambanks,   we deployed temperature loggers (iButton #DS1922L, Maxim Integrated, Inc., San Jose, CA, USA) in vertical profilers into thermally-identified groundwater discharge points along streambanks at two sites within the Farmington River watershed (northwestern CT and southwestern MA, USA) with varying streambank organic matter content. Stratton Brook is a 2nd order tributary to the Farmington River. The surficial sediments at this tributary include sand and gravel, with some areas being comprised of fines and thin and thick till deposits (Stone et al. 1992). Stratton Brook streambanks are composed of unconsolidated sediment with high organic matter deposits. Surrounding landcover include forest, forested wetlands, housing developments, and a public forested park  . West Branch Salmon Brook is a 3rd order tributary to the Farmington River. Its local landcover includes forest, agriculture, a public park, and housing developments.   Surficial sediments include a blend of alluvium atop of gravel and sand from postglacial deposits, thick and thin till, and coarse gravel deposits (Stone et al. 1992). Streambank sediment is poorly sorted, ranging from large cobbles to fine sand. Vertical temperature profiler (VTP) data were collected at 20 distinct preferential groundwater discharge points from September 9 to October 31, 2021. For West Branch Salmon Brook, the temperature data was collected at 20 distinct preferential groundwater discharge points from September 14 to October 31, 2021, for a total of 40 monitored locations.

Laser Rangefinder Data for Surficial Mass Movements in the Cascades: Mount Rainier 2023

A laser rangefinder was used to record debris flows at Cascades volcanoes and an experimental debris flow flume. Mass movements such as large lahars and smaller seasonal debris flows can occur at volcanoes in the Cascades. A combination of seismic, infrasound, tripwires, and webcams can be used to detect and characterize these flows. A laser rangefinder can be placed on the banks of the drainages and pointed towards the channel as a low power, low bandwidth piece of equipment to confirm increases in flow past the station. This can serve as another piece of evidence for flows and may be able to be incoporated into future alarm systems to improve their accuracy and performance. 
A laser rangefinder was deployed for ~2 months in the summer of 2023 at Mount Rainier, co-located with the USGS Cascades Volcano Observatory (CVO) monitoring station TABR (46.80435 N and 121.84948  W), that includes a 3-component broadband seismometer and single infrasound sensor. The instrument was at a slant distance of ~65 m and pointed at 29 degrees from horizontal at the active portion of the channel. The laser rangefinder was a LaserTech TruSense S200 series logged at 1 Hz sampling rate using a Campbell Scientific CR6 digitizer and timing antenna.

CMIP6-LOCA2 threshold and extreme event metric projections from 1950-2100 for the Contiguous United States

Projections of extreme event metrics and threshold exceedances are produced by analyzing the Climate Model Intercomparison Program Phase 6 Localized Constructed Analogs (CMIP6-LOCA2) data set. The primary daily temperature and precipitation data are summarized to 36 annual metrics and 4 monthly metrics. This data set includes output from 27 GCMs for the period 1950-2100 under ssp245, ssp370, and ssp585 scenarios for the Contiguous United States with partial coverage in Mexico and Canada. To support climate research within and outside the Department of Interior these data are distributed in a variety of formats: individual model grids for all years, gridded climatologies (1961-1990, 1971-2000, 1981-2010, 1991-2020, and Global Warming Levels +1.5 °C, +2.0 °C, +3.0 °C), and time series spatially averaged to United States county and watershed boundaries (HUC8 from the Watershed Boundary Dataset). Ensemble averages are provided for the Weighted Multi-Model Mean (WMMM) and Multi-Model Mean (MMM) where appropriate. Many of the threshold exceedance variables stem from the Climdex project (https://www.climdex.org), which predominately uses metric units. Additional English-based thresholds were included to support Department of Interior research.
There are 72 simulations in total (ssp245=24, ssp370=23, ssp585=25). While the CMIP6-LOCA2 data set supports multiple realizations per model; one realization per model is provided herein (predominately r1i1p1f1, except when this realization was not available). Users interested in the source downscaled temperature and precipitation files are referred to the data set home page: https://loca.ucsd.edu.

Meteorological and evaporation data used in a water-budget analysis of the Medina and Diversion Lake system

This data set contains meteorological and evaporation data collected at the Medina Lake meteorological station (U.S. Geological Survey station 293355098560601) during March 2017–October 2022. These data include 30-minute averages of air pressure, air temperature, relative humidity, vapor pressure, wind speed and direction, and evaporation. The daily total evaporation measured at the U.S. Geological Survey meteorological station was compared with the daily total evaporation from the Texas Water Development Board to obtain a corrected daily total of evaporation. The corrected daily total evaporation was used as one of the measurable terms in the water-budget analysis of the Medina and Diversion Lake system.

Climate-fire analog mapping to inform adaptive management strategies for wildland fire in protected areas of the conterminous U.S.

Managing and adapting to changing wildland fire regimes due to human-caused global warming can be facilitated through the use of analog mapping of potential climate-influenced outcomes. This dataset contains results from a simple process-based model, PC2FM, to derive projected analog fire regimes with respect to the potential fire probability concept. This concept is based on the potential energy and fuels available in the background environmental state under pre-industrial conditions for the coterminous US. To map climate-fire analog futures, three key relevant variables are used in addition to fire probability derived from PC2FM: annual temperature, annual precipitation, and precipitation seasonality. Projections of the climate-fire analogs are provided for 20 downscaled climate models under two climate forcing scenarios, Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP 4.5 and 8.5) for two time periods (2040-2069 and 2070-2099) and 655 protected areas in the conterminous U.S.
