GeoTIFF image of shaded-relief bathymetry of the sea floor of the Atlantic Beach artificial reef (2-m resolution, Mercator, WGS 84)

The Atlantic Beach artificial reef, located on the sea floor 3 nautical miles south of Atlantic Beach, New York in about 20 meters water depth, was built to create habitat for marine life. The reef was originally created by placing heavy materials such as tires, automobile bodies and other vehicles, barges, and rock from a dredging project on the sea floor. In 2000, the U.S. Geological Survey surveyed the area using a Simrad EM1000 multibeam echosounder mounted on the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) ship Frederick G. Creed. The purpose of this multibeam survey, done in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers when the Creed was in the New York region in April 2000, was to map the bathymetry and backscatter intensity of the sea floor in the area of the Atlantic Beach artificial reef.  The data from this survey are bathymetry, backscatter intensity, and navigation trackline.

Topographic Survey Data of Fountain Creek between Colorado Springs and the Confluence of Fountain Creek at the Arkansas River, Colorado, 2017

In 2012, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with Colorado Springs Utilities selected 10 reaches or study areas along Fountain Creek between Colorado Springs and the confluence of Fountain Creek at the Arkansas River for annual bed and bank characterization and topographic surveys.  The 10 selected study areas are approximately 5 to 20 bank-full channel widths in length.  The topographic surveys collected point data of location and elevation in the active channel and along both left and right banks and flood plains.  Starting in 2012, USGS personnel have collected topographic survey data annually during the spring using real-time kinematic Global Navigation Satellite Systems.  These point data are interpolated to a grid which is used to generate annual digital elevation maps of each study area.  These annual maps are used to develop elevation change maps at each study area for each year.  The topographic survey data provide an annual assessment of the geomorphic change at each study area.

Data Files to Support SEAWAVE-QEX Model for Simulating Concentrations of Selected Pesticides in the Continental United States, 1992-2012

Reported atrazine, carbaryl, chlorpyrifos, and fipronil concentrations for selected U.S. Geological Survey pesticide sampling sites were downloaded from the U.S. Geological Survey National Water Information System (NWIS) and modified for input into the SEAWAVE-QEX model. Modifications included identification of appropriate censoring limits to use for samples in which the pesticides were not detected, rounding reported concentrations to a consistent level of precision, and adjusting reported concentrations to correct for temporal trends in laboratory recovery rates.

Irrigated Acreage Delineated from Landsat-Derived Maximum Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) 1975-2010, Walker River Basin Nevada and California

These data represent the extent and spatial distribution of irrigated acreage delineated from maximum Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) derived from Landsat scenes in the Walker River Basin, California and Nevada, at five-year intervals from 1975-2010. The field boundaries in this data set are digitized from one-year composite maximum NDVI data derived from atmospherically corrected Landsat 2 Multispectral Scanner (MSS), Landsat 5 MSS, and Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper (TM) scenes. NDVI was calculated from the corrected reflectance data for each selected scene during the growing season (May through early October) and a single, composite image of maximum NDVI values was derived for each five-year interval. Selecting the maximum NDVI value removed low values associated with plant phenology, harvest cycles, and irrigation operations. Initial field boundaries were digitized from the 2010 National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) data and boundary geometries were divided and shaped based on temporal changes in irrigation practices, crop rotations, and other changes identified in the Landsat-derived maximum NDVI data. Each polygon is attributed with an estimated irrigation status of irrigated or non-irrigated. Mapped fields were classified as irrigated during a growing season if more than 45-percent of a field had a maximum NDVI value greater than or equal to 0.4.

Chance of considerable (MMI = VIII) damaging earthquake shaking in 100 years

This data set portrays the spatial potential for damaging earthquake ground shaking quantified as considerable (MMI = VI) in 100 years.  The maps and data are based on the average of the results obtained from peak ground acceleration and 1.0-second horizontal spectral acceleration.  Site specific soil factors based on Vs30 shear wave velocities were implemented using a simple topographic proxy technique (Allen and Wald, 2009) and site amplification based on the relationships of Seyhan and Stewart (2014).  MMI = VIII is equivalent to peak ground acceleration of 0.4g and 1.0-second horizontal spectral acceleration of 0.499g (Worden et al., 2012) for the default site class (Vs30=760 m/s).

A multi-year record of chemical and isotopic composition of water from springs of the Shenandoah National Park, Virginia

During October 1995 through March 2014, the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the National Park Service, Luray, Virginia Station collected and analyzed samples of selected springs, air and unsaturated-zone gases in Shenandoah National Park, Virginia. The 19-year record of measurements of chemical and isotopic composition of water discharging from 34 springs located along the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Shenandoah National Park, Virginia, is reported. These data include field measurements of water temperature, specific conductance, concentrations of dissolved oxygen (O2), and pH. Laboratory measurements included major-, minor-, and trace-element chemistry; concentrations of dissolved gases (nitrogen, [N2] argon [Ar], oxygen, and carbon dioxide [CO2]); concentrations of dissolved trace atmospheric gases, including trichlorofluoromethane (CFC-11), dichlorodifluoromethane (CFC-12), and trichlorotrifluoroethane (CFC-113) and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6); and hydrogen stable isotopic composition (δ2H) and oxygen isotopic composition (δ18O) of water. The data include an up to 14-year time series record of monthly sampling at five springs collected between 1995 and 2013. The measurements included temperature, specific conductance, pH, and discharge recorded at 30-minute intervals. Atmospheric mixing ratios of CFC-11, CFC-12, CFC-113, trifluorobromomethane (CF3Br), SF6, and trifluoromethyl sulfur pentafluoride (SF5CF3) in air from the Big Meadows Air Monitoring Station, Shenandoah National Park, were measured at approximately weekly intervals from September 1995 through March 2014. Additional data include monthly (between May 2001 and August 2003) measurements of temperature, N2, O2, Ar, CO2, CFC-12, CFC-11, CFC-113, and SF6 concentrations in unsaturated-zone air from seven multilevel piezometers in Shenandoah National Park and at the U.S. Geological Survey National Center in Reston, Virginia. All samples were analyzed at the U.S. Geological Survey Laboratories in Reston, Virginia.

Data Release for Late Quaternary loess and soils on uplands in the Canyonlands and Mesa Verde areas, Utah and Colorado

Thin loess deposits on the uplands of the southeastern Colorado Plateau have previously not been well studied. We sampled deposits and soils from trenches on Hatch Point mesa near Canyonlands National Park, Utah, and from two outcrops in Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado.  At Hatch Point, the oldest buried unit yielded two OSL ages of 10,370 and 7,555 yr; the middle unit yielded 10 OSL ages from 6220 to 1385 yr; and the youngest unit has a single age of 1740 yr. At Mesa Verde, three loess units are preserved in the two outcrops we examined; six OSL ages range from 51 to 17 ka. At least one buried soil is present between two units with ages of about 50 and 40 ka. The ages of the loess units in both study areas correspond well with OSL-dated dune sands in Canyonlands National Park and with dune sands on Black Mesa, Arizona. Particle size distribution combined with chemical and magnetic data indicate that Hatch Point loess was derived mostly from nearby sandstone sources with a small component of far-traveled atmospheric dust, whereas Mesa Verde loess was sourced both from the nearby sandstone and the San Juan River and its tributaries.

Merged multibeam bathymetry--Catalina Basin and northern Gulf of Santa Catalina, southern California

This part of the data release includes 10-m resolution merged multibeam-bathymetry data of Catalina Basin and northern Gulf of Santa Catalina. The data are presented as a TIFF file.
In February 2016 the University of Washington in cooperation with the U.S. Geological Survey, Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center (USGS, PCMSC) collected multibeam bathymetry and acoustic backscatter data in Catalina Basin aboard the University of Washington's Research Vessel Thomas G. Thompson. Data were collected using a Kongsberg EM300 multibeam echosounder hull-mounted to the 274-foot R/V Thomas G. Thompson. The USGS, PCMSC processed these data and produced a series of bathymetric surfaces and acoustic backscatter images for scientific research purposes. A 10-m bathymetric surface produced from this work (available in this report) was merged with re-processed 10-m resolution multibeam bathymetry data collected in the Gulf of Santa Catalina in 2013 by Scripps Institution of Oceanography and processed by USGS, PCMSC (available at, https://pubs.usgs.gov/sim/3324/). These data can be used to assess the hazards posed by offshore faults, submarine landslides, and tsunamis as well as map sediment transport pathways and sedimentary sinks.
