Cyanotoxin Concentrations in Extracts from Solid Phase Adsorption Toxin Tracking (SPATT) and Diffusive Gradients in Thin-Films (DGT) Samplers in Owasco Lake, Seneca Lake, and Skaneateles Lake, Finger Lakes Region, New York, 2019

This data release contains dissolved cyanotoxin concentrations for microcystins (MC), cylindrospermopsins (CYL), anatoxins (ATX), and saxitoxins (STX) assessed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry or tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS and LC-MS/MS, respectively) in extracts from SPATT (n=95) and DGT samplers (n=10) deployed on three Finger Lakes (Owasco, Seneca, and Skaneateles) between June and November 2019. Relative percent contributions of microcystin congeners are also provided for samples analyzed by LC-MS and LC-MS/MS.
Solid phase adsorption toxin tracking (SPATT) and diffusive gradients in thin-films (DGT) are types of passive environmental samplers containing porous synthetic resin beads that adsorb and concentrate cyanotoxins over time. SPATT and DGT samplers are relatively inexpensive to construct and have been widely demonstrated to adsorb a range of cyanotoxins in different environments. These samplers can be deployed in water bodies for time periods ranging from hours to weeks and, upon extraction and analysis, provide a semi-quantitative, relative dissolved cyanotoxin concentration that is calculated based on the deployment length.

Location Data for Petrographic Samples and Isotopic and Age Data from Detrital Zircon Grains from Selected Rock Samples from St. Lawrence Island and the Western Brooks Range, Alaska

This dataset contains a list of geologic station localities on St. Lawrence Island, Alaska, from which thin section samples were examined. The dataset also contains U-Pb isotopic data and ages of detrital zircon (DZ) from sedimentary rocks collected on St. Lawrence Island and in the western Brooks Range. All St. Lawrence Island samples (DZ and thin sections) were collected by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) geologists during geologic mapping in the 1970s. DZ samples from the Brooks Range were collected as part of regional geological mapping programs by the USGS and the Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys. Detrital zircon grains were obtained from samples of sedimentary rocks to determine depositional age and sediment sources. The data tables accompanying this data release report the isotopic composition of uranium (U) and thorium (Th) measured in each grain, ratios of two isotopes of lead (207Pb and 206Pb) and two isotopes of uranium (235U and 238U), and the age of each grain.

Interpolated Hydrogeologic Framework and Digitized Datasets for Upstate New York Study Areas

Digital hydrogeologic datasets were developed for the Jamestown study area in upstate New York in cooperation with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. These datasets define the hydrogeologic framework of the valley-fill aquifer and surrounding till-covered uplands within the study area. Datasets include: bedrock elevation raster, lacustrine silt and clay top and bottom elevation rasters (where present), LIDAR minimum elevation raster, lacustrine extent polygon, valley-fill extent polygon, and surficial geology polygons. Elevation layers were interpolated at 125-foot discretization to match what was done in previous work.

Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2021 Site 0318 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 398 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 2021 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. Five previous assessments have been conducted (2005, 2008, 2012, 2015/2016, and 2018). Once the program creates enough data points for statistical analyses, these data will be used for land area change rate calculation.

DCpts, DTpts, SLpts: Dune crest, dune toe, and mean high water shoreline positions: Cedar Island, VA, 2012

Understanding how sea-level rise will affect coastal landforms and the species and habitats they support is critical for crafting approaches that balance the needs of humans and native species. Given this increasing need to forecast sea-level rise effects on barrier islands in the near and long terms, we are developing Bayesian networks to evaluate and to forecast the cascading effects of sea-level rise on shoreline change, barrier island state, and piping plover habitat availability. We use publicly available data products, such as lidar, orthophotography, and geomorphic feature sets derived from those, to extract metrics of barrier island characteristics at consistent sampling distances. The metrics are then incorporated into predictive models and the training data used to parameterize those models. This data release contains the extracted metrics of barrier island geomorphology and spatial data layers of habitat characteristics that are input to Bayesian networks for piping plover habitat availability and barrier island geomorphology. These datasets and models are being developed for sites along the northeastern coast of the United States. This work is one component of a larger research and management program that seeks to understand and sustain the ecological value, ecosystem services, and habitat suitability of beaches in the face of storm impacts, climate change, and sea-level rise.

Sound velocity profile locations collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in Moultonborough Bay, Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire in 2005 (Geographic, WGS 84, Esri point shapefile, 2005-004-FA_SVP.SHP)

In freshwater bodies of New Hampshire, the most problematic aquatic invasive plant species is Myriophyllum heterophyllum or variable leaf water-milfoil. Once established, variable leaf water-milfoil forms dense beds that can alter the limnologic characteristics of a waterbody, impacting natural lacustrine communities and their habitats.  Variable leaf water-milfoil infestations also disrupt recreational uses of waterbodies and have negatively affected swimming, boating, fishing, and property values in and around several lakes and ponds in New Hampshire.
In 1965, Moultonborough Bay, Lake Winnipesaukee became the first waterbody in New Hampshire where variable leaf water-milfoil was observed. Variable leaf water-milfoil is native to the Southeastern and Midwestern areas of the United States where more alkaline waters appear to limit the growth of this plant. Outside its native range, however, it adapts well to the relatively acidic, low-alkalinity, and nutrient-poor conditions of oligotrophic lakes and bays similar to Moultonborough Bay.
In 2005, the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) collaborated with the U.S. Geological Survey to investigate the distribution (presence and density) of variable leaf water-milfoil in Moultonborough Bay. This study utilized geophysical systems and conventional water-quality measurements to identify lake-floor environments that may provide suitable habitat for the establishment and growth of variable leaf water-milfoil. The results of the study are intended to assist resource managers in federal and state agencies by providing methods for detecting variable leaf water-milfoil and for identifying areas susceptible to infestation. Ultimately, this information may lead to early detection, prevention, and more effective mitigation strategies.
Field activity information for this cruise is available on-line through the U.S. Geological Survey Coastal and Marine Geoscience Data System https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fa=2005-004-FA.

New source rock data for the Mowry and Thermopolis Shales in the Wind River Basin, Wyoming

In 2020, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) assessed the potential for undiscovered, technically recoverable continuous (unconventional) oil and gas resources in the Mowry Shale in the Wind River Basin Province (Finn and others, 2021).  To better characterize the source rock potential of the Mowry Shale and associated strata, 129 samples were collected from 45 wells from the well cuttings collection stored at the USGS Core Research Center in Lakewood, Colorado.  The sampled wells are located along the margins of the basin in order to obtain samples that were not subjected to the effects of deep burial and subsequent organic carbon loss due to thermal maturation (Daly and Edman, 1987) (fig. 1).  One hundred samples are from the upper siliceous part of the Mowry Shale (Finn, 2021), 18 from the lower part of the Mowry Shale (Shell Creek Shale equivalent, Eicher, 1962; Finn, 2021), and 11 from the Thermopolis Shale (fig. 2).  The sample intervals were determined by examining the cuttings under a binocular microscope and the darkest chips were selected for analysis based on observations by Hosterman and Whitlow (1981), Charpentier and Schmoker (1982), Hunt (1996), and Landon and others (2001) that total organic carbon (TOC) content generally increases as color goes from gray to black and therefore is a rough (although not always reliable) indicator of organic richness.  Obvious material from carvings and contamination, such as wood chips, metal, and plastic were removed.  The cuttings were composited into samples from thickness intervals that were generally 10 to 20 ft thick but ranged from 5 to 80 ft depending on how much material was available for a proper analysis.  The samples were analyzed by the USGS Central Energy Resources Science Centers Petroleum Geochemistry Research Laboratory.  Total carbon and total organic carbon content were determined using a LECO® Carbon Analyzer, Model C744 (LECO Corporation, St. Joseph MI) by the combustion method after carbonate removal (see Jarvie, 1991; and Oliver and Warden, 2020, for details). The programmed pyrolysis analysis was performed using a Hydrocarbon Analyzer with Kinetics (HAWK) instrument (Wildcat Technologies, Humble TX) (see Espitalié and others, 1977; Tissot and Welte, 1978; Peters, 1986; Hunt, 1996; and Dreier and Warden, 2021, for discussions of the pyrolysis method). Values directly measured by the HAWK are S1, S2, S3, and Tmax.  The values HI, OI, PI, S2/S3, G.P., and S1/TOC were calculated by the author.

Lampricide Residues in Sea Lamprey Larvae Carcasses recovered after 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM) or TFM/Bayluscide Stream Treatments

Lampricide concentrations in larval sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) carcasses collected following two TFM and two TFM/Bayluscide treatments were determined to support risk assessments for non-target organisms that may consume lampricide-laden carcasses.  Carcasses were removed from the treated streams either immediately after completion of the treatment or 2-days post mortem.  The estimated average TFM concentration in the fresh carcasses (n = 80) collected from the rivers was 4.58 µg·g-1 (SEM =1.06 µg·g-1).  The average concentration of niclosamide (the active ingredient in Bayluscide) in the fresh carcasses from the two rivers treated with TFM and Bayluscide was 0.492 µg·g-1 (SEM = 0.210 µg·g-1).  The mean 2-day post mortem carcasses from the Chippewa River TFM/Bayluscide treatment contained 3% of the TFM and 64% of the niclosamide found in the freshly-killed larvae group.  The mean 2-day post mortem carcasses from the Chippewa River TFM treatment contained 12% of the TFM present in the fresh group.
The datasets included are as follows:

MODFLOW-NWT model used to evaluate the potential effect of groundwater pumpage and increased sea level on canal leakage and regional groundwater flow in Miami-Dade County, Florida

A three-dimensional, surface-water/groundwater model (MODFLOW-NWT with the Surface-Water 
Routing Process) was developed to the predict the effects of groundwater pumpage on canal 
leakage and regional groundwater flow in urban portions of Miami-Dade County, Florida. The 
model was calibrated by using observation data collected from 1997 through 2004. The model 
calibration was verified using observation data collected from 2005 through 2010. The model is 
designed to simulate surface-water stage and discharge in the managed canal system and 
dynamic canal leakage to the Biscayne aquifer as well as seepage to the canal from the 
aquifer. The model was used to evaluate the effect of increased groundwater pumpage and 
(or) increased sea level on canal leakage, regional groundwater flow, and the position of the 
freshwater-seawater interface. This USGS data release contains all of the input and output 
files for the simulations described in the associated model documentation report 
(https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20145162). This data release also includes
