True color and multispectral aerial imagery collected from UAS operations at North Core Banks, NC in October 2022

These data map in high detail surficial cross-sections of North Core Banks, a barrier island in Cape Lookout National Seashore, NC, in October 2022. U.S. Geological Survey field efforts are part of an interagency agreement with the National Park Service to monitor the recovery of the island from Hurricanes Florence (2018) and Dorian (2019). Three sites of outwash, overwash, and pond formation were targeted for extensive vegetation ground-truthing, sediment samples, bathymetric mapping with a remote-controlled surface vehicle, and uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) flights to collect multispectral imagery. Five semi-permanent ground control points were also installed and surveyed to act as control for additional aerial imagery collected via plane. UAS imagery were processed in Agisoft Metashape (v. 1.8.1) with surveyed temporary ground control points to produce calibrated multispectral (red, blue, green, red edge, near infrared, and panchromatic) orthoimages and digital surface models.

Evansville Urban Seismic Hazard Maps, v2010

Evansville, Indiana has a dense urban population near faults capable of producing major earthquakes. A high probability of a moderate earthquake in the near future (e.g., a 25–40% probability of a magnitude 6.0 or greater in the next 50 years) from the New Madrid seismic zone, and more moderate probability of a similar-sized earthquake in the Wabash Valley, coupled with relatively low regional attenuation (in other words, seismic waves have the potential to do damage and propagate over a greater geographic area in this region than for the same magnitude earthquake in the western U.S.) necessitates being prepared for earthquake hazards. This dataset provides maps of probabilistic and deterministic earthquake ground motions and liquefaction hazard for the Evansville, Indiana metropolitan area.

Seepage Meter Data Collected at Crystal Lake, City of Crystal Lake, Illinois, 2020

Seepage meters measurements were collected at three locations along the northern shoreline and at three locations along the southern shoreline of Crystal Lake, located in the City of Crystal Lake, Illinois on October 28-30, 2020, and November 4-5, 2020. Seepage measurements directly measure the flux for the area captured by the seepage meter. A positive (gaining) flux is assumed when the volume in the collection bag increases and negative (losing) if the volume decreases and the data can also be used to calculate the vertical hydraulic conductivity. The data provided contains the measurements collected at each location and calculations of discharge and flux at each of the seepage meters.

Produced water chemistry data collected from the Oxnard Oil Field, Ventura County, and the Placerita Oil Field, Los Angeles County, 2018, California

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the California State Water Resources Control Board collected produced water and gas samples in the Oxnard Oil Field in Ventura County in August 2018 and the Placerita Oil Field in Los Angeles County in December 2018. Sampled sites included oil wells; injectate from tanks, pipelines, and injection wells where produced water from many wells, after removal of oil, is stored or transported prior to underground injection; and integrated produced water from many oil wells collected from pipelines before oil removal. This digital dataset contains the site information, analyzing laboratories and methods, and water and gas chemistry and quality-control results for these samples. Chemistry results include concentrations of dissolved noble and hydrocarbon gases and their isotopic composition; concentrations of inorganic constituents including salinity, major and minor ions, trace elements, and nutrients; dissolved organic carbon and optical properties of dissolved organic carbon; stable isotopes of water, strontium dissolved in water, and carbon in dissolved inorganic carbon; and radium isotopes. Samples were analyzed in the field and by eight laboratories operated or contracted by the USGS.

Hydrologic analysis of flow and transport for the Everglades DPM experiments: U.S. Geological Survey, data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9ME2FLN

Flow and transport of sediment and phosphorus through the low-gradient wetlands of the Everglades, FL were characterized using hydrologic, biological, geomorphic, and biogeochemical data as inputs to several types of simulations. The data were collected in the DPM (Decompartmentalization Physical Model) experimental high-flow facility in the central Everglades, FL. The DPM includes wetlands, canals, and levees bordering Water Conservation Area 3A (WCA-3A) to the northwest and Water Conservation Area 3B to the southeast. We simulated the hydrologic flow of WCA-3A water though several closely spaced culverts beneath the L-67A levee into DPM as flow spreading in a radial pattern through the wetland. The radial flow simulations characterize interactions between total flow entering though culverts beneath the L-67A levee, flow spreading angle in the wetland, vegetation roughness, water slope, water depth, and water flow speed in the wetland. Also, we used the one-dimensional transport model (OTIS) model to simulate the conservative transport of water along a central flow path through the wetland using specific conductivity as an environmental tracer. Reactive transport simulations with OTIS used observations of suspended sediment concentration (SSC) and total phosphorus (TP) to quantify the rate of removal of suspended sediment and total phosphorus from flowing water. Gross primary productivity (GPP) and ecosystem respiration (ER) along the flow path was assessed by simulating transport and reactivity of dissolved oxygen using MATLAB scripts. Furthermore, at the downstream end of the DPM we made simple steady-state water and chemical mass balance calculations to assess water, suspended sediment, and total phosphorus leaving the DPM by transport though a downstream gap in the L67-C levee into WCA-3B.

Lifespan of Chesapeake Bay salt marsh units

Lifespan distribution in the Chesapeake Bay (CB) salt marsh complex is presented in terms of lifespan of conceptual marsh units defined by Ackerman and others (2022). The lifespan calculation is based on estimated sediment supply and sea-level rise (SLR) predictions after Ganju and others (2020). Sea level predictions are present day estimates at the prescribed rate of SLR, which correspond to the 0.3, 0.5, and 1.0 meter increase in Global Mean Sea Level (GMSL) scenarios by 2100 from Sweet and others (2022). Through scientific efforts initiated with the Hurricane Sandy Science Plan, the U.S. Geological Survey has been expanding national assessment of coastal change hazards and forecast products to coastal wetlands, including the Chesapeake Bay salt marshes, with the intent of providing Federal, State, and local managers with tools to estimate the vulnerability and ecosystem service potential of these wetlands. For this purpose, the response and resilience of coastal wetlands to physical factors need to be assessed in terms of the ensuing change to their vulnerability and ecosystem services.

Passive seismic depth to bedrock data collected along streams of the Farmington River watershed, CT, USA

Using the horizontal-to-vertical spectral-ratio (HVSR) method, we infer regolith thickness (i.e., depth to bedrock) throughout the Farmington River Watershed, CT, USA. Between Nov. 2019 and Nov. 2020, MOHO Tromino Model TEP-3C (MOHO, S.R.L.) three-component seismometers collected passive seismic recordings along the Farmington River and the upstream West Branch of Salmon Brook. From these recordings, we derived resonance frequencies using the GRILLA software (MOHO, S.R.L.), and then inferred potential regolith thicknesses based on likely shear wave velocities, Vs, intrinsic to the underlying sediment. Three potential shear wave velocities (Vs = 300m/s, 337m/s, 362 m/s) were considered for Farmington River watershed sediments, providing a range of potential depth estimates along the Farmington. This release contains raw passive seismic recording data, processed resonance frequency data, and the resulting inferred depth estimates displayed in both tabular and vector form. This dataset currently contains 3 zipped files: 1) ‘Processed.zip’ is a zipped directory containing .asc text files of processed passive seismic data, individual processed reports, tabulated results, and an associated summary text file, 'readme_Processed.txt'; 2) 'Raw.zip' contains .saf text files of passive seismic recordings and an associated 'readme_Raw.txt;' and 3) ‘XYLegacyN_HVSR.zip'’ contains ESRI shapefile of HVSR point locations with attribute data &amp;amp; a map image offering a visualization of the depth results (where, Vs = 300m/s). Additionally, the main folder contains LegacyN_HVSR_readme.txt which describes these sub-directories in further detail

Recovery of laboratory-added, isotopically labeled surrogate compounds from analyses of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in quality-control samples and in groundwater samples from the Great Miami buried-valley aquifer, southwestern Ohio, 2019–20

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Miami Conservancy District, Dayton, Ohio, in 2019 and 2020 collected and analyzed groundwater samples and quality-control samples to describe concentrations of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the Great Miami buried-valley aquifer (GM-BVA) of southwestern Ohio. Data in this release include recoveries of isotopically labeled PFAS surrogate compounds added by the analytical laboratories to quality assure the reported concentrations of PFAS in groundwater and quality-control samples. The 23 wells used for PFAS sampling were identified and sampled previously by the USGS National Water-Quality Assessment Program to assess the concentrations of a variety of inorganic and organic contaminants in the GM-BVA. Wells where groundwater was sampled and quality-control samples were prepared were from parts of the GM-BVA in Butler, Champaign, Clark, Greene, Hamilton, Miami, Montgomery, Shelby and Warren Counties within the Great Miami River, Little Miami River, and Whitewater River Basins. To understand the comparability of PFAS analytical results generated through different adaptations of the EPA 537.1 method, groundwater samples were collected by this study and analyzed at a contract laboratory using one proprietary adaptation (method 1; Bureau Veritas, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada) and were collected from the same wells and analyzed at a different contract laboratory by a slightly different proprietary adaptation (method 2; SGS North America Inc., Orlando, Florida). Methods 1 and 2 had different reporting limits and detection limits for specific PFAS.

Salish Sea water level validation simulations: 2017-2020

Simulations of water levels in the Salish Sea over the period October 1, 2016 to September 30, 2020 were conducted to validate the Salish Sea hydrodynamic model. The model accounts for sea level position, tides, remote sea-level anomalies, local winds and storm surge and stream flows as they affect water density. Comparison of modeled and measured water levels showed the model predicts extreme water levels at NOAA and USGS tide gage stations within 0.15 m. Model inputs and outputs of time-series forcing and water levels, respectively, are presented.
