Africa Terrestrial Ecosystems

Africa terrestrial ecosystems were modeled using a biophysical stratification approach based on mapping the major structural components of ecosystems. New 90 meter base resolution continental datasets were developed for several key physical environment datalayers including coastlines, land surface forms, surficial lithology, and bioclimates. These unique physical components, considered as the fundamental building blocks of ecosystems, were reviewed by regional vegetation and landscape ecology experts and used in a classification and regression tree (CART) inductive model to map intermediate scale Africa terrestrial ecosystems. In the final dataset a total of 126 terrestrial ecosystem types were mapped, each with multiple, repeating occurrences on the landscape.

08: Daily average stream base flow at 14 watersheds in Gwinnett County, Georgia for water years 2002-2020

This dataset contains the daily average base flow, as determined by hydrograph separation, for 14 watersheds in Gwinnett County, Georgia for October 2001 through September 2020. Hydrograph separations were done using the Web-based Hydrograph Analysis Tool (WHAT) using the simple local minimum method on the daily average streamflows, which are also provided in this dataset. Base flow along with the calculated base-flow index (the proportion of base flow to total flow) were used to characterize groundwater recharge and the relative degree of storm runoff in the watersheds. Base flow was also used as predictor variable in models for estimating streamwater constituent loads for 12 water-quality constituents at 13 of the study watersheds.

07: Population density in 15 watersheds in Gwinnett County, Georgia from 2000 to 2020

This dataset contains population densities of 15 study watersheds in Gwinnett County, Georgia from 2000 to 2020. Population densities were determined for 2000, 2010, and 2020 from the decadal U.S. Census and for 2012 and 2017 from the American Community Survey 5-year estimates of 2010-14 and 2015¬-19 block group data, respectively. Population density within each watershed was determined by clipping the census block group data by the watershed boundaries and area-weighting the block group population density data within each watershed. Census block group data is the smallest geographic unit for which the census provides data.

700kHz Bathymetric Roughness of select Rock Outcrops of the St. Croix River, May 2021

This dataset is a digital surface model of the roughness for five (of six) sites where known rock structures exist in the St. Croix River. Roughness is the degree of irregularity of the surface and is computed from elevation. Roughness measures will be used for investigating the use of hydroacoustic technologies for quantifying habitat for imperiled mussels Spectaclecase (Margaritifera monodonta) and Salamander (Simpsonaias ambigua) typically associated with rock structures (e.g., wing dams, revetment) in rivers. The determination of the roughness plays a role in the analysis of terrain elevation data; it’s useful for calculations of the river morphology and physical geography in general. Multibeam sonar data were collected using a Norbit integrated wide band multibeam system compact (iWBMSc) sonar unit. All hydroacoustic data were collected in early May of 2021, and the roughness rasters are provided in GeoTiff format.

Collection of digital structure contour maps from previously published USGS studies

Under the direction and funding of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (NCGMP) with guidance and encouragement from the United States Geological Survey (USGS), there has been a decadal strategic plan in place to call for geologic mapping across the nation. This call has been increasing the need for digital data that has not yet been made available. With such a demand, physical data is being re-released as vector-based, GIS operable data, which is viable as a corporate asset to the USGS. This collection of reports is part of the compilation and synthesis efforts hampered by the distributed nature of subsurface investigations at the USGS and a general lack of cataloging and archiving of 3-D geological models and subsurface products. Subsurface mapping activities are decentralized and the results are released on a project-by-project basis. This has led to repeats in data being created, thus wasting both time and energy of the end users. Having a clear understanding of what data is available for GIS use is paramount in the mapping groups. As digital collections of data continue, data releases like this will not be uncommon. This release features structure contour, isopach, and thickness data of stratigraphic units as well as chronostratigraphy. Units included in this release span from North Dakota to as far south as New Mexico and are as follows: San Andres Limestone, Glorieta Sandstone, Leadville Limestone, Cutler Group, Morrison Formation, Colorado Shale, Fox Hills Sandstone, Goose Egg Formation, Minnelusa Formation, Mowry Shale, Pierre Shale, Sundance Formation Unconformity, Wasatch Formation, Permian age units, Trout Creek Sandstone, Castlegate Sandstone, Exshaw or Kinderhook Black Shale, San Juan Volcanics, Lewis Shale, Almond Formation, Baxter Shale, Dakota Sandstone, Cretaceous Onlap, and Tensleep Sandstone.

Morpholine Imprinted Atlantic Salmon Behavioral and Morphometric Data, 2018-2022

Subadult and smolt behavioral data were compiled by Ali Mokdad from Trevor Pitcher's lab at the University of Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Data are comprised of fish reactions in choice flume video data (attractance/avoidance) collected by Jeremy Kraus at Tunison Lab of Aquatic Science, August 2021 and February 2020 respectively. Atlantic salmon were exposed/not exposed to imprinting chemical (morpholine) through early life stages and later tested based on their treatment to see how individuals react to the presence of exposure chemicals during subsequent life stages. These data show how the adult stage Atlantic salmon of this study ((non exposed (control) and treatment (morpholine exposed)) react to timed exposure of morpholine dilution at the 3+ and 1+ year life stages.
Imprinted Atlantic salmon morphometric data were collected Feb 20, 2020 at Tunison Lab. These data represent growth (length (mm) and weight (g)) of experimental Atlantic salmon, just after imprinting flume tests were completed for their life stage/age.

Digital database for the geologic map of the Parker NW, Parker, and parts of the Whipple Mountains SW and Whipple Wash quadrangles, California and Arizona

This geologic database is a digitized version of the original 1:24,000-scale analog geologic map titled "Geologic map of the Parker NW, Parker, and parts of the Whipple Mountains SW and Whipple Wash quadrangles, California and Arizona", published by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in 1980. The map area straddles the Arizona-California border and includes the community of Parker, AZ, and the southeastern part of the Whipple Mountains, where the prominent Whipple Mountains Detachment Fault separates lower plate Cretaceous and older gneisses from upper plate crystalline, volcanic, and sedimentary rocks. The Whipple Mountains are surrounded by numerous Neogene sedimentary units that record the arrival and subsequent fluctuations of the Colorado River in the region from the Pliocene through the Holocene, as well as Quaternary alluvial fan processes on the southern flank of the Whipple Mountains and in lower Vidal Valley.

Upper Colorado River Basin Accumulated Wastewater Ratios

A wastewater reuse model was applied to the Upper Colorado River basin to assess the percent of accumulated wastewater (ACCWW%) from municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in each initialized (that is, has an assigned hydrosequence number for flow-routing) National Hydrography Dataset Version 2.1 (NHDPlus V2.1) stream segment. Model inputs included (1) NHDPlus V2.1 stream geometry and hydrologic information (Table 1); (2) WWTP information, provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (Table 2), including average daily effluent discharges and outfall locations. Outfall locations were linked to the corresponding NHDPlus V2.1 stream segment receiving the effluent prior to calculating ACCWW%. ACCWW% values were calculated for years 2007 to 2020 using mean-monthly and mean-annual NHDPlus V2.1 gage-adjusted Enhanced Runoff Method streamflow estimates.

Spectral reflectance data of rock and soil in southcentral Alaska

An ASD FieldSpec 4 Hi-Res NG Spectroradiometer was used to collect the reflectance properties of soil and rock in southcentral Alaska, USA around the city of Anchorage and the Prince William Sound. Reflectance is a property of the material being observed, being the ratio of the amount of light leaving a target to the amount of light striking the target. Reflectance is a unitless value from 0 to 1, where a value of 0 indicates that the material absorbs all energy and 1 indicates total reflectance. Additionally, samples were collected from the field and later measured using the spectrometer in the laboratory. Both field and laboratory data were collected in the summer and fall of 2022.

Mainstem Rivers of the Conterminous United States (ver. 2.0, February 2023)

Mainstem rivers are the backbone of a connected network of hydrologic units that cover the landscape. A mainstem connects a headwater source area to an outlet. This data release identifies the same mainstem paths in hydrographic datasets for the conterminous US.
The Mainstems dataset includes cross walks between mainstem identifiers and several hydrographic datasets. These cross-walk tables do not include geometry. It also includes a summary of all mainstems with headwater and outlet identifiers from other datasets for those mainstems that could be matched. The summary table has highly simplified geometry and should be used for visualization purposes only. Any analysis should rely on source dataset geometry. As a convenience, a GeoPackage of 12-digit hydrologic unit code watershed outlets is included as points with attributes that indicate the "event" linear reference along the NHDPlusV2 network as well as how the 12-digit hydrologic units nest within the 10, 8, 6, 4, and 2 digit hydrologic unit system. This file is based on the stable NHDPlusV2 snapshot of the Watershed Boundary Dataset.
