AndreaBozzo/ceres-open-data-index huggingface dataset:
Digital data sets that describe aquifer characteristics of the Enid isolated terrace aquifer in northwestern Oklahoma

This data set consists of digitized polygons of constant
hydraulic conductivity values for the Enid isolated terrace
aquifer in northwestern Oklahoma. The Enid isolated terrace
aquifer covers approximately 82 square miles and supplies water
for irrigation, domestic, municipal, and industrial use for the
City of Enid and western Garfield County. The Quaternary-age
Enid isolated terrace aquifer is composed of terrace deposits
that consist of discontinuous layers of clay, sandy clay, sand,
and gravel. The aquifer is unconfined and is bounded by the
underlying Permian-age Hennessey Group on the east and the Cedar
Hills Sandstone Formation of the Permian-age El Reno Group on
the west. Cedar Hills Sandstone Formation fills a channel
beneath the thickest section of the Enid isolated terrace
aquifer in the midwestern part of the aquifer.
The hydraulic conductivity polygons from a ground-water modeling
thesis and report were transferred to a map and digitized. The
map digitized was published at a scale of 1:62,500. Hydraulic
conductivities reported in the ground-water modeling thesis and
report for the Enid isolated terrace aquifer are 93.6 feet per
day and 134 feet per day.
Ground-water flow models are numerical representations that
simplify and aggregate natural systems. Models are not
unique; different combinations of aquifer characteristics may
produce similar results. Therefore, values of hydraulic
conductivity used in the model and presented in this data set
are not precise, but are within a reasonable range when
compared to independently collected data.

Ocean wave time-series data along the U.S. West Coast and surrounding Hawai’i simulated with a global-scale numerical wave model under the influence of CMIP6 wind and sea ice fields

This dataset presents projected hourly time-series of wave heights, wave periods, incident wave directions, and directional spreading at distinct points along the U.S. West Coast and surrounding Hawai’i for the years 2020 through 2050. The projections were developed by running the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA’s) WAVEWATCHIII model. Wind and sea-ice fields from seven different Global Climate or General Circulation Models from the CMIP6 High-Resolution Model Intercomparison Project were used to simulate waves across the globe at a 0.5-degree resolution (approximately 50 km, depending on latitude) and further downscaled to 10- (approximately 18 km) and 4-arc-minute (approximately 7 km) model grids. Point model output data extracted from NOAA’s 4 arc-minute grid for the U.S. West Coast and Hawai’i (wc_4m) are provided herein.

Video transects of the sea floor on Stellwagen Bank during U.S. Geological Survey field activity 2014-070-FA, aboard the R/V Auk, December 12, 2014

This field activity is part of the effort to map geologic substrates of the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary region off Boston, Massachusetts. The overall goal is to develop high-resolution (1:25,000) interpretive maps, based on multibeam sonar data and seabed sampling, showing surficial geology and seabed sediment dynamics. This cruise was conducted in collaboration with the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary, and the data collected will aid research on the ecology of fish and invertebrate species that inhabit the region. The Sanctuary's research vessel, R/V Auk, visited 33 locations on Stellwagen Bank at which a customized Van Veen grab sampler (SEABOSS) equipped with a video camera and a CTD was deployed in drift mode to collect sediment for grain-size analysis, video imagery of the seabed, and measurements of water column properties.

Difference between the 2006 and partial-development ground-water conditions for the unconfined aquifer in the Wood River Valley, south-central Idaho.

The entire population of the Wood River Valley depends on ground water for domestic supply, either from 
domestic or municipal-supply wells, rapid population growth since the 1970s has raised concerns about 
the continued availability of ground and surface water to support existing uses and streamflow.  To help 
address these concerns, ground- and surface-water conditions in the area before and during the population 
growth that started in the 1970s was evaluated.  This dataset helps analyze trends in ground-water data, 
documents 2006 hydrologic conditions, and is used to compare 2006 and historic ground-water data of 
the Wood River Valley of south-central Idaho.  It represents ground-water conditions in the unconfined 
aquifer during October 2006 constructed from 88 water-level measurements in the main valley and 8 
tributary canyons.

Autonomous Surface Vehicle Sidescan-sonar mosaic from St. Vincent Bar, Apalachicola Bay, Florida (ASV177.TIF)

These data were collected under a cooperative mapping program between the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Coastal Services Center (NOAA\CSC), and the Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR). The primary objectives of this program were to collect marine geophysical data to develop a suite of seafloor maps to better define the extent of oyster habitats, the overall seafloor geology of the bay and provide updated information for management of this resource. In addition to their value for management of the bay's oyster resources, the maps also provide a geologic framework for scientific research and the public.
High-resolution bathymetry, backscatter intensity, and seismic profile data were collected over a 230 square kilometers of the floor of the bay. The study focused on the Apalachicola Bay and Western St. George Sound portions of the estuary mostly in depths &gt; 2.0 meters.

C109NC_video_observations

This part of DS 781 presents video observations from cruise C109NC in northern California. The vector data file is included in "c109nc_video_observations.zip," which is accessible from https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/781/video_observations/data_catalog_video_observations.html.
In 2006 and 2007, the seafloor in northern California was mapped by California State University, Monterey Bay, Seafloor Mapping Lab (CSUMB), using both multibeam echosounders and bathymetric sidescan sonar units. This mapping mission collected bathymetry and acoustic-backscatter data from about the 10-m isobath to out beyond the 3-nautical-mile limit of California's State Waters. To validate the interpretations of sonar data in order to turn it into geologically and biologically useful information, the USGS ground-truth surveyed the data by towing camera sleds over specific locations throughout the region. During the 2009 ground-truth cruise, the camera sled housed two video cameras (one forward looking and the other vertical looking), a high-definition video camera, and an 8-megapixel digital still camera. The video was fed in real time to the research vessel, where USGS and NOAA scientists recorded both the geologic and biologic character of the seafloor into programmable keypads once every minute. In addition to recording the seafloor characteristics, a digital still photograph was captured once every 30 seconds. This ArcGIS shape file includes the position of the camera, the time each observation was started, and the visual observations of geologic and biologic habitat.

Arizona Pronghorn Anderson Mesa Winter Ranges

Pronghorn in the Anderson Mesa herd reside in Game Management Units 5A and 5B, located southeast of Flagstaff, Arizona. The herd summers at higher elevations (7,326 ft [2,233 m]) on Anderson Mesa and winters at lower elevations (5,577 ft [1,700 m]) in Dog Valley. Summer and winter habitats consist primarily of perennial grasslands and shrubs. The steep mesa, as well as impermeable fencing and pinyon and juniper encroachment, limits pronghorn movement between seasonal ranges. These barriers force the Anderson Mesa herd to follow three distinct migration routes separated by Anderson Canyon, Canyon Diablo, and Jacks Canyon. 
Approximately 2.50 miles (4.02 km) north of the herd’s winter range, Interstate 40 creates a barrier to any substantial northward movement by the Anderson Mesa pronghorn. In 1967, high snow levels pushed the Anderson Mesa herd to the Interstate 40 boundary (State Route 66 at the time). The herd’s aversion to barriers and limited access to winter forage caused approximately 77 percent of the herd to die that winter. The Anderson Mesa pronghorn herd continues to recover from the large mortality event, which suggests the importance of maintaining migration corridors for the herd’s seasonal movements.
These mapping layers show the location of the winter ranges for pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) in the Anderson Mesa population in Arizona. They were developed from 12 sequences collected from a sample size of 10 animals comprising GPS locations collected every 8 hours.

California Mule Deer Casa Diablo Migration Corridors

Casa Diablo mule deer are largely traditional migrants, using a wide range primarily spread across public lands. The herd’s winter range stretches between the Benton Range and eastern Inyo National Forest. Snowfall can be extreme in the Sierra Nevada Range, exceeding 800 inches (in; 20.3 m) in heavy-snow winters, during which deer migrate below 6,000 ft (1,829 m) in elevation to escape deep snow. In spring, individuals move west using a wide range of routes; however, a concentrated migration corridor passes through Long Valley, across U.S. Highway 395, and into the high mountains of the Sierra Nevada Range (fig. XXX). Summer range habitat straddles both sides of U.S. Highway 395. Most deer do not move into Yosemite National Park during the summer, remaining east and south of the Park boundary. Deer typically summer at elevations of 8,000 – 11,000 feet. The primary causes of mortality include mountain lion predation, followed by vehicle collisions, which mostly occur on U.S. Highway 395 during fall and spring migrations. In 2019, the population size of the Casa Diablo herd was estimated at 2,460 (confidence interval: 2,037–3,107) individuals.
These mapping layers show the location of the migration corridors for mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in the Casa Diablo population in California. They were developed from 445 migration sequences collected from a sample size of 101 animals comprising GPS locations collected every 1-24 hours.

California Mule Deer Pacific Migration Corridors

The Pacific mule deer herd inhabits 353 square miles (mi2; 914 square kilometers [km2]) of public and private lands in Placer and El Dorado counties in California, including the Eldorado National Forest as well as private lands owned by Sierra Pacific Industry and Sacramento Municipal Utility District. During fall migration, Pacific mule deer move approximately 19 mi (30 km) to the foothills of the western Sierra Nevada Mountains, using stopovers in route to their summer range (figure XXX). U.S. Highway 50 and the Middle Fork American River bound the herd’s migration routes on the south and north, respectively. During winter, the migratory portion of the population intersperses with resident deer at lower elevations (2,296–2,953 ft [700–900 m]). 
The Pacific mule deer herd has been declining for decades because of several factors, including predation, recreation, poaching, disease, and fire suppression. Recent studies indicate a below-average adult survival rate of 77 percent for this herd (Merrell and others, 2023). In 2014, the King fire, a severe wildfire, burned 151 mi2 (390 km²) across much of the mid-elevational area between September and October. Plant succession following the fire modified the way mule deer use the area; does now remain in these recently-burned areas during winter months (Merrell and others, 2023).
These mapping layers show the location of the migration corridors for mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in the Pacific population in California. They were developed from 149 migration sequences collected from a sample size of 43 animals comprising GPS locations collected every 1-13 hours.
