Produced water chemistry data collected from the Poso Creek, Midway-Sunset, and Buena Vista Oil Fields, 2020-21, Kern County, 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 Poso Creek, Midway-Sunset, and Buena Vista Oil Fields in Kern County in 2020 and 2021. 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 before underground injection; and integrated produced water from multiple 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.

Nearshore bathymetry of the Columbia River littoral cell, Washington and Oregon, 2022

This portion of the USGS data release presents bathymetry data collected during surveys performed in the Columbia River littoral cell and mouth of the Columbia River, Washington and Oregon, in 2022 (USGS Field Activity Number 2022-641-FA). Bathymetry data were collected using four personal watercraft (PWCs) equipped with single-beam sonar systems and global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers. The sonar systems consisted of either an Odom Echotrac CV-100 or CEE Hydrosystems Ceescope single-beam echosounder and 200 kHz transducer with a 9-degree beam angle. Raw acoustic backscatter returns were digitized by the echosounder with a vertical resolution of 1.25 cm. Depths from the echosounders were computed using sound velocity profiles measured using a YSI CastAway CTD during the survey. Positioning of the survey vessels was determined at 5 to 10 Hz using either Trimble R9s or Trimble BD990 GNSS receivers. Output from the GNSS receivers and sonar systems were combined in real time on the PWC by a computer running HYPACK hydrographic survey software. Navigation information was displayed on a video monitor, allowing PWC operators to navigate along survey lines at speeds of 2 to 3 m/s. Survey-grade positions of the PWCs were achieved with a single-base station and differential post-processing. Positioning data from the GNSS receivers were post-processed using Waypoint Grafnav to apply differential corrections from a GNSS base station with known horizontal and vertical coordinates relative to the North American Datum of 1983. Orthometric elevations relative to the NAVD88 vertical datum were computed using National Geodetic Survey Geoid12a offsets. Bathymetric data were merged with post-processed positioning data and spurious soundings were removed using a custom Graphical User Interface (GUI) programmed with the computer program MATLAB. The average estimated vertical uncertainty of the bathymetric measurements is 10 cm. The final point data from the PWCs are provided in a comma-separated text file and are projected in cartesian coordinates using the Washington State Plane South, meters coordinate system.

Beach topography of the Columbia River littoral cell, Washington and Oregon, 2022

This portion of the USGS data release presents topography data collected during surveys performed in the Columbia River littoral cell, Washington and Oregon, in 2022 (USGS Field Activity Number 2022-641-FA). Topographic profiles were collected by walking along survey lines with global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers mounted on backpacks. Prior to data collection, vertical distances between the GNSS antennas and the ground were measured using a tape measure. Hand-held data collectors were used to log raw data and display navigational information allowing surveyors to navigate survey lines spaced at 100- to 1000-m intervals along the beach. Profiles were surveyed from the landward edge of the study area (either the base of a bluff, engineering structure, or just landward of the primary dune) over the beach foreshore, to wading depth on the same series of transects as nearshore bathymetric surveys that were conducted during the same time period. Additional topographic data were collected between survey lines in some areas with an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) equipped with a GNSS receiver to constrain the elevations and alongshore extent of major morphological features. Positioning data from the survey platforms were referenced to a GNSS base station with known horizontal and vertical coordinates relative to the North American Datum of 1983. Differential corrections from the GNSS base stations to the survey platforms were either applied in real-time with a UHF radio link, or post-processed using Trimble Business Center software. Orthometric elevations relative to the NAVD88 vertical datum were computed using National Geodetic Survey Geoid12a offsets. The average estimated vertical uncertainty of the topographic measurements is 4 cm. The final point data are provided in comma-separated text format and are projected in Cartesian coordinates using the Washington State Plane South, meters coordinate system.

Digital Data from Previously Published Contour Data Showing the Altitude of the Base of Dakota Sandstone on the Colorado Plateau, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah

This geologic map database compiles, in digital form, geologic data previously published as printed maps showing the altitude of the base of Dakota Sandstone and equivalent rocks on the Colorado Plateau in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah. Data were compiled from U.S. Geological Survey 1:250,000-scale geologic maps and other topical maps that included structure contours of the base of the Dakota Sandstone. Surface and subsurface data compiled include mapped polygons of the Dakota Sandstone and equivalent units, faults, fold axes, structure contours, and bedding attitudes calculated from the structure contours. All data were compiled as a GeMS digital database. This digital geologic database is a companion dataset to an interpretive USGS report "Methodology for Compilation of Previously Published Contour Data Showing the Altitude of the Base of Dakota Sandstone on the Colorado Plateau, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah".  These digital data are a compilation of data from previously published maps of the base of the Dakota Formation made digital for the first time, providing a digital dataset for future scientific and resource evaluations of the Colorado Plateau region.
The dataset includes a geographic information system geodatabase that contains mapped contacts and faults, map unit polygons of the Dakota Sandstone and stratigraphic equivalents, fold axes, structure contour lines, and point data of bedding attitudes. Vector data are attributed according to the USGS National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program’s GeMS digital geologic map schema. The spatial data are accompanied by non-spatial tables that describe the sources of geologic information, a description of geologic map units, a glossary of terms, and a Data Dictionary that duplicates the Entity and Attribute information contained in the metadata file. To maximize usability, spatial data are also distributed as shapefiles and tabular data are distributed as ascii text files in comma separated values (CSV) format.

Spectral cubes, maps, and data from Moon Mineralogy Mapper for the Montes Apenninus region of the Moon

Three TIF files are provided that each have hyperspectral (82 bands) data for the Montes Apenninus region of the Moon. The spectra have been processed from L2 data from the Planetary Data System and include uncorrected spectra (MA_uncorr), spectra that have been corrected to suppress the continuum contribution due to factors like space weathering (MA_cr), and spectra that have been continuum-corrected and smoothed. For these, we follow the methods of Horgan et al., 2014 and Bennett et al., 2016, see manuscript for details.

High Resolution Voyager 2 Images of Neptune's Moon, Triton

We processed 41 Voyager 2 images of Neptune’s moon Triton with pixel scales &lt; 2 km/pixel form their raw, compressed, archived state to more usable cloud-optimized geotiffs, which can easily be used within spatial analysis software such as GIS. Processing was done using the USGS’ ISIS software and included geometric and radiometric calibration, and the removal of image reseaux and corner markers (originally used for geometric calibration). The images were also photogrammetrically controlled relative to one another to improve their locations on the surface, which were initially inaccurate by up to 200 km. After performing a least squares bundle adjustment, the root mean square (RMS) uncertainty in image locations was 0.50, 0.52, and 0.51 pixels in latitude, longitude, and radius, respectively, with minimum and maximum residuals of -4.21 and +3.197 pixels, respectively. Each individual image was warped to an orthographic projection centered at 15o W and 18o N at the native image resolution. Because reseaux removal introduces interpolated data, two versions of each image are provided: a fully processed version with reseaux removed, and a partially processed version that retains the reseaux (i.e., no interpolation). We also generated a mosaic of Triton images that is spatially consistent with the entire dataset and provides context for the individual images (not every image is included in the mosaic). The mosaic uses the same orthographic projection as the individual images, but a consistent scale of 600 m/pixel. Three versions of the mosaic are included: a fully processed version (reseaux removed, some interpolated pixel values), a partially processed version (reseaux retained, no interpolation), and a fully processed but sharpened (high pass filter with 100% albedo add-back) to enhance surface features. This data release improves the usability and accessibility of this singular dataset and enables new scientific investigations of Triton.

Annotated bibliography of 64 papers reviewed and summarized in a conceptual framework to assess post-wildfire water quality

We conducted a scoping review to assess the current state of the science and knowledge gaps of post-wildfire water quality. A scoping review is a rapid, systematic approach that is more superficial compared to traditional reviews, and can be considered a preliminary study that informs future in-depth reviews, meta-analyses, or modelling efforts (Robinne et al., 2020). We developed a driver, factor, stressor, effect (DFSE) conceptual framework to evaluate information gathered from the review. 
Drivers are categorical variables representing a natural or anthropogenic process or characteristic driving post-fire effects. Factors are measurable variables or properties of a driver used to explain changes in water quality, quantity, or ecological impacts. Stressors represent physical and/or chemical changes of hydrologic, geomorphologic, or geochemical environments and indicate the direction of change in the system. Effects are measurable impacts on water quality or ecological health.
This data release contains an annotated bibliography of references included in the review and attribute assignments for each element of the DFSE framework.

Baseline coastal oblique aerial photographs collected from Breton Island to the Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana, September 3, 2010

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducts baseline and storm-response photography missions to document and understand the changes in the vulnerability of the Nation's coasts to extreme storms. On September 3, 2010, the USGS conducted an oblique aerial photographic survey from Breton Island to the Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana, aboard a Cessna 210 aircraft at an altitude of 500 feet (ft) and approximately 1,200 ft offshore. This mission was conducted to collect data for assessing incremental changes in the beach and nearshore area and can be used to assess future coastal change. The photographs provided are Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) images. The photograph locations are an estimate of the aircraft's position and do not indicate the location of features in the images. These photographs document the configuration of the barrier islands and other coastal features at the time of the survey. ExifTool (version 4.0) was used to add the following to the header of each photograph: time of collection, GPS latitude, GPS longitude, keywords, credit, artist (photographer), caption, copyright, and contact information. Photographs can be opened with any JPEG-compatible image viewer by clicking on a thumbnail on the contact sheet. All image times are recorded in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

Projected mangrove distribution and ecosystem properties in the southeastern United States under climate change

We evaluated changes in mangrove distribution and ecosystem properties in the southeastern United States under climate change using known climate-ecological relationships, recent climate data for the period 1981-2010, and future projected climate data for the period 2071-2100 under two Shared Socio-economic Pathways (SSPs): the SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5 scenarios, which correspond to intermediate and high greenhouse gas emissions scenarios, respectively. We quantified potential mangrove presence, mangrove relative abundance, coastal wetland vegetation height, and coastal wetland vegetation aboveground biomass under recent climatic conditions and under the two alternative future climate scenarios.
