Data for Use of historical isoscapes to develop an estuarine nutrient baseline

Coastal eutrophication is a prevalent threat to the healthy functioning of ecosystems globally. While degraded water quality can be detected by monitoring oxygen, nutrient concentrations, and algal abundance, establishing regulatory guidelines is complicated by a lack of baseline data (e.g., pre-Anthropocene). We use historical carbon and nitrogen isoscapes from sediment cores to reconstruct spatial and temporal changes in nutrient dynamics for a central California estuary, where development and agriculture dramatically enhanced nutrient inputs over the past century. We found strong contrasts between current sediment stable isotopes and those from the recent past, demonstrating shifts exceeding those in previously studied eutrophic estuaries and substantial increases in nutrient inputs. Comparisons of contemporary with historical isoscapes also revealed that nitrogen sources shifted from a marine-terrestrial gradient to amplified denitrification at the head and mouth of the estuary. Geospatial analysis of historical data suggests that an increase in fertilizer application – rather than population growth or increases in the extent of cultivated land – is chiefly responsible for increasing nutrient loads during the 20th century. This study demonstrates the ability of isotopic and stoichiometric maps to provide important perspectives on long-term shifts and spatial patterns of nutrients that can be used to improve management of nutrient pollution.

Spatial and Temporal Variability in Stream Thermal Regime Drivers for Three River Networks During the Summer Growing Season

Many aquatic organisms adapted to cold-water habitats are suffering habitat losses and population declines during warm seasons when water temperatures are increasing above thermal tolerances. Therefore, identifying the mechanisms driving local and regional stream temperature regimes are useful for implementing targeted restoration and management activities at appropriate scales to help mitigate cold-water habitat loss. Controls on stream temperature vary across landscapes but also temporally within basins during ecologically important growing seasons. We developed a modeling process that identified statistical relationships between potential drivers of stream temperature and incorporated management-related covariates that could be adjusted as part of restoration planning scenarios. We tested this model development process in three river networks of the Pacific Northwest with pre-existing temperature total maximum daily loads for protecting cold-water habitat during three months of the growing season (May [start], August [warmest], and September [end]). When averaged across months and the three river networks, the covariates in our models with the highest relative importance represented the physical landscape (elevation [1st], catchment area [3rd], main channel slope [5th]) and temporally-variable climate covariates (mean monthly air temperature [2nd], and mean monthly discharge [4th]). Management-related covariates such as ground water use (6th) and riparian shade (7th) were of lesser but still significant relative importance. However, variation in the importance of covariates through time and among the river networks indicates that local nuances are important and should be addressed when planning restoration activities. The modeling process we developed demonstrated its ability to identify regional (similar across study areas) and local (unique to each study area) relationships among multiple drivers of stream temperature across complex landscapes. The data included provides the necessary inputs, code, and metadata for reproducing the models and output from this study.

Error-Level-Controlled Synthetic Forecasts for Renewable Generation

Renewable energy resources, including solar and wind energy, play a significant role in sustainable energy systems. However, the inherent uncertainty and intermittency of renewable generation pose challenges to the safe and efficient operation of power systems. Recognizing the importance of short-term (hours ahead) renewable generation forecasting in power systems operation, it becomes crucial to address the potential inaccuracies in these forecasts. To systematically evaluate the performance of controllers in the presence of imperfect forecasts, we generate synthetic forecasts using actual renewable generation profiles (one from solar and one from wind). These synthetic forecasts incorporate different levels of statistical error, allowing us to control and manipulate the accuracy of the predictions. The primary objective is to employ synthetic forecasts with controlled yet realistic error levels to systematically investigate how controllers adapt to variations in forecast accuracy, providing valuable insights into their robustness and effectiveness under real-world conditions.

AmeriCorps Members Demographic

The data is prepared using AmeriCorps members who began service on any day in fiscal year (FY) 2017. The members may have served 1 to 365 days during their term. Members who are in never served, disqualified, pre-service, or deferred statuses were excluded from this analysis. 
AmeriCorps VISTA and AmeriCorps NCCC race and ethnicity data come from the member application to serve. The code to extract the data between the two programs is the same. 
The ASN race and ethnicity data comes from the enrollment form. The enrollment form may exist multiple times if the member enrolled in more than one term. It is not uncommon for each enrollment form to have conflicting information about the member’s race and ethnicity. The member may have enrollment form data for terms served outside of the timeframe of the dataset. For example, if we are reporting on members who began service in FY17, then a member who also served in FY16 may have race and ethnicity information in the FY16 enrollment form and no race or ethnicity information or conflicting information in the FY17 enrollment form. In the case of conflicting information, this analysis assumes each instance of race designation is correct. If a member reports themselves as “Asian or Asian American” in one enrollment form and “White” in another enrollment form, then the analysis categorizes this person as someone who identifies with multiple race selections vs. one or the other. In the case of ethnicity, if a member indicates that they are not Hispanic or Latino/a in one form, but that they are in another, this analysis assumes the affirmative—and they will be categorized as Hispanic or Latino/a. Lastly, the totals include the total results from the query plus the difference between the query and the raw count of members who started service in that fiscal year. The members who did not have a record in the invite table and enrollment table were added to the non-response category. 
Senior Corps Figures come from the Annual Progress Report Supplement as of April 11, 2018. 
Percentages are calculated from totals of the subcategories, excluding the non-response categories.

Interest Expense on the Debt Outstanding

The Interest Expense on Debt Outstanding dataset provides monthly and fiscal year-to-date values for interest expenses on federal government debt, that is, the cost to the U.S. for borrowing money (calculated at a specified rate and period of time). U.S. debt includes Treasury notes and bonds, foreign and domestic series certificates of indebtedness, savings bonds, Government Account Series (GAS), State and Local Government Series (SLGS) and other special purpose securities. While interest expenses are what the government pays to investors who loan money to the government, how much the government pays in interest depends on both the total federal debt and the interest rate investors charged when they loaned the money. This dataset is useful for those who wish to track the cost of maintaining federal debt.
