Bridge-Site Study Data for Selected Highway Crossings in Mississippi, 2022

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) works closely with the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) to provide information to be used by the MDOT for design of highway-drainage structures. MDOT spends millions of dollars annually for highway construction.
Streamflow records, hydrologic analyses of basins, and hydraulic analyses of flooding potential at proposed highway crossings help the MDOT to make more informed decisions on the use of highway construction funding. Flood-frequency and hydraulic characteristics at highway crossings are determined from historical flood-elevation data recovered by the USGS, cross-section data, and correlations with data from nearby gaging stations. Additional streamflow data are collected for ungaged sites when substantial flooding occurs in an area of interest to MDOT. This information not only provides the basis for the design of highways and drainage structures, but is also used by local agencies and the public as a guide in flood-plain management. Data for nine sites in Mississippi that were studied during the State fiscal year 2022 (July 1, 2021, to June 30, 2022) are provided in this data release. The geospatial dataset includes one point feature class shapefile with associated FGDC-compliant metadata representing selected basin characteristics and estimates of eight flood-frequency peak streamflows with corresponding stages, or water-surface elevations for nine sites in Mississippi. Flood-frequency streamflows were determined using methods described by Anderson (2018). Water-surface elevations were determined using methods described by Rantz (1982a, 1982b). Also included are input files of the step-backwater model described by Shearman (1990).

An Unvegetated to Vegetated Ratio (UVVR) for coastal wetlands of the Gulf of Mexico Coast - 2010

Prior research has shown that sediment budgets, and therefore stability, of microtidal marsh complexes scale with areal unvegetated to vegetated marsh ratios (UVVR) suggesting these metrics are broadly applicable indicators of microtidal marsh vulnerability. This effort has developed the UVVR metric using readily available satellite imagery for the coastal areas of the contiguous United States (CONUS). These datasets provide annual averages of the 1) unvegetated fraction, 2) vegetated fraction, 3) water fraction and 4) an unvegetated to vegetated ratio (UVVR) at 30-meter resolution over the coastal areas of the contiguous United States for the year 2010. Additionally, multi-year average values of vegetated ratio, its standard deviation and a UVVR based on the annually-averaged vegetated ratio are provided for the coastal wetlands of the contiguous United States.

Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2015 Site 0682 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 390 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 2015 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.  Three previous assessments have been conducted (2005, 2008, and 2012).  Once the program creates enough data points for statistical analyses, these data will be used for land area change rate calculation.

Pedestrian evacuation times for residents on the islands of American Samoa, for 2009 and predicted maximum tsunami (PMT) inundation zones by village, modeled at four travel speeds (slow walk, fast walk, slow run, and fast run)

This dataset contains American Samoa resident count estimates as a function of travel time out of the 2009 and probable maximum tsunami (PMT) inundation zones for four different travel speeds (slow walk, fast walk, slow run, and fast run). The data are organized in a manner which permits summarizing or visualizing the data by village, tsunami-evacuation zone, and/or travel time, with individual rows representing the number of residents present in the specific village/evacuation zone/travel time combination. Due to the nature of the methodology used to distribute residential population to structures, resident numbers are not integers. These data, in tabular format, are intended for use in GIS software applications and other standalone spreadsheet applications.
These data support the following publication: Wood, N.J., Jones, J.M., Yamazaki, Y., Cheung, K-F., Brown, J., Jones, J.L., and Abdollahian, N., 2018, Population vulnerability to tsunami hazards informed by previous and projected disasters—a case study of American Samoa: Natural Hazards, 24 p., https://doi.org/10.1007/s11069-018-3493-7.

Data for Bathymetric Survey and Sedimentation Analysis of Lago Carite, Puerto Rico, January 2018

This data release contains spatial data associated with the bathymetric survey and sedimentation analysis of Lago Carite in January 2018. During January 23–30, 2018, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority, conducted a bathymetric survey of Lago Carite primarily to update estimates of the contemporary reservoir storage capacity and sedimentation rate. Previously designated transect lines were surveyed by using a depth sounder coupled to a differential geographic positioning system to generate a bottom contour map and, ultimately, the stage-storage relation for Lago Carite. This data release consisted of three items: bathymetric contours, water-depth data points and the shoreline of Lago Carite used for the analysis. 
A  total of 137 planned transect lines were surveyed, and over 269,119 water-depth measurements were made across the reservoir. All water-depth data were collected using a Teledyne-Odom Echotrac CVM depth sounder coupled to a differential Global Positioning System (GPS). Esri ArcGIS, version 10.5 (reference similar to that in metadata for point shapefile), was used to edit the depth data and create a triangulated irregular network (TIN) model, from which bathymetric contours and a stage-volume relation were generated.

National Assessment of Oil and Gas Project - Sacramento Basin Province (009) Boundary

The USGS Central Region Energy Team assesses oil and gas resources of the United States. The onshore and State water areas of the United States comprise 71 provinces. Within these provinces, Total Petroleum Systems are defined and Assessment Units are defined and assessed. Each of these provinces is defined geologically, and most province boundaries are defined by major geologic changes. The Sacramento Basin Province is located in the Northern Central Valley, California, encompassing all or parts of Shasta, Tehana, Glenn, Butte, Colusa, Lake, Yuba, Sutter, Placer, Yolo, Napa, Sacramento, Amador, San Joaquin, Solano, Contra Costa, Calaveras, Alameda, and Stanislaus counties in California. The main population centers within the study area are Sacramento, Stockton, Modesto, Elk Grove, Yuba City, Chico, and Red Bluff, California. The main highways, I-5 and I-80, generally traverse the area from north to south and east to west respectively. The Sacramento River and its tributaries drain the area. For this study the Sacramento Basin Province includes the Northern Central Valley. The province boundary was drawn to include the geologic structures generally considered to be in or bounding the Sacramento Basin.

Migration corridors of mule deer in the Pequop Mountains, Nevada

The Area 7 mule deer population is one of the state’s largest deer herds with an estimated population of about 11,000 in 2019. This deer herd is highly important to Nevada from an economic and ecological perspective.  It’s one of the longest distance deer migrations in the state of Nevada with some animals known to migrate over 120 miles during a single migration. A subset of this population, known as the “Pequop” herd, crosses a major highway (US highway 93) and an interstate (Interstate-80) twice annually during their seasonal migration.  Several million dollars in wildlife crossing structures have been constructed to help these deer during their migration, yet they still face challenges to connectivity between winter and summer ranges including miles of livestock fencing and a large-scale gold mine operation in close proximity a large stop-over site near Long Canyon.
Winter range for this deer herd occurs primarily along the east side of the Pequop Mountains from Sixmile Creek to Ninemile Canyon. The largest stopovers occur along the west side of Snake Mountains near Tabor Creek, Antelope Peak and Bishop Creek areas, north and south of Interstate 80 near Pequop Summit, and the Sixmile Creek to Long Canyon area in the Pequop Mountains. Summer range for this herd primarily occurs between the Owyhee and Bruneau Rivers east of Wildhorse Reservoir. 
These data provide the location of migration corridors for mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in the Pequop Mountains, Nevada. They were developed from Brownian bridge movement models (Sawyer et al. 2009) using  218 migration sequences collected from a sample size of  79 animals comprising GPS locations collected every 1-25 hours.

Chicot Aquifer System Extent of southwestern Louisiana,  October 2020

The Chicot aquifer system underlies an area of approximately 9,500 mi2 in southwestern Louisiana and is located within the Gulf Coastal Plain physiographic province. The region includes all or parts of 15 parishes -- Vernon, Rapides, Evangeline, Allen, Beauregard, Calcasieu, Jefferson Davis, Acadia, St. Landry, Lafayette, St. Martin, Cameron, Iberia, Vermilion, and St. Mary. The Chicot aquifer system is a major source of groundwater for southwestern Louisiana, accounts for approximately 48 percent of all groundwater use in the State, and provides freshwater for public supply, industry, agriculture, and aquaculture (Collier and Sargent, 2018). Withdrawals of groundwater have created water-level gradients favorable for saltwater encroachment, and future water-availability and production in the region could be impacted by poor water quality. This product is part of a larger study of the Chicot aquifer system in southwestern Louisiana that will benefit local, State, other Federal cooperators, and stakeholders. The extent given here represents the geographic extent of the Chicot aquifer system in southwestern Louisiana and was created using elevation information from U.S. Geological Survey digital elevation models, surface geology maps, and previously published extents (Lovelace and others, 2004; Casarez, 2020).
