Underwater Videographic Observations of Cultured Delta Smelt in Field Enclosures: Video clips and Summary data

All data is part of a pilot study aimed to observe Delta Smelt behavior within enclosures deployed in the wild. The enclosures used were designed by The California Department of Water Resources and UC Davis as part of their ongoing Delta Smelt enclosure deployment studies.  
Study 1:
This data includes 16 17:43 minute videos of observations of Delta Smelt behavior in a floating field enclosure and an associated .csv file with data generated from the video clips.  The videos were recorded using a Gopro Hero 4 Black digital action camera in a field enclosure located in a controlled agriculture pond at the University of California, Davis’ Center for Aquatic Biology and Aquaculture (CABA), Putah Creek Facility, Davis, California, between September 10 and 18, 2019.  The data file contains information on the occurrence and duration of alarm behaviors exhibited by Delta Smelt. Four cameras were mounted to the interior of the enclosure at approximately mid height of the enclosure. Viewing area of the cameras extended from approximately the midpoint of the cage bottom to about halfway up the adjacent wall.  A video began recording approximately 10 minutes prior to the simulated cage visit and recorded until battery failure resulting in 4, 17:43 minute videos per event. After 17:43 minutes the GoPro camera recorded footage as a separate video file, however they are still part of the same sampling event. Videos were recorded by one camera at a time and consecutive recordings alternated between cameras.
Study 2:
This data includes 59 10-min video clips of observations of Delta Smelt behavior in a floating field enclosure and an associated .csv file with data generated from the video clips.  The videos were recorded using a Gopro Hero 4 Black digital action camera in a field enclosure located in the Sacramento River near Rio Vista, California, between October 12, 2019 and November 2, 2019. The data file contains information on the occurrence and duration of alarm behaviors exhibited by Delta Smelt and the occurrence, duration, and intensity of three types of disturbances: boat noises, noises associated with physical disturbances to the enclosure (e.g., clanking, rattling and banging of the enclosure), and vertical movements of the enclosure associated with wave activity. Two cameras were mounted to the interior of the enclosure at approximately mid height of the enclosure. Viewing area of the cameras extended from approximately the midpoint of the cage bottom to about halfway up the adjacent wall.  A video clip of 10-min in duration was recorded at intervals of every 120 min between the hours of 09:00 to 18:00 from 12 October to 02 November 2019.  Videos were recorded by one camera at a time and consecutive recordings alternated between cameras.

Offshore baseline for the northern Alaska coastal region generated to calculate shoreline change rates along exposed coastlines between Point Barrow and Icy Cape for the time period 1947 to 2012

The Arctic Coastal Plain of northern Alaska is an area of strategic economic importance to the United States, is home to remote Native American communities, and encompasses unique habitats of global significance. Coastal erosion along the north coast of Alaska is chronic, widespread, may be accelerating, and is threatening defense and energy-related infrastructure, natural shoreline habitats, and Native communities. There is an increased demand for accurate information regarding past and present shoreline changes across the United States. To meet these national needs, the Coastal and Marine Geology Program of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is compiling existing reliable historical shoreline data along sandy shores of the conterminous United States and parts of Alaska and Hawaii under the National Assessment of Shoreline Change project.
There is no widely accepted standard for analyzing shoreline change. Existing shoreline data measurements and rate calculation methods vary from study to study and prevent combining results into state-wide or regional assessments. The impetus behind the National Assessment project was to develop a standardized method of measuring changes in shoreline position that is consistent from coast to coast. The goal was to facilitate the process of periodically and systematically updating the results in an internally consistent manner.

Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2015 Site 6302 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 390 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 2015 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.  Three previous assessments have been conducted (2005, 2008, and 2012).  Once the program creates enough data points for statistical analyses, these data will be used for land area change rate calculation.

Shallow Sediment Geochemical Data for the Cache Creek Settling Basin, Yolo County, California, 2010–17

This dataset includes shallow surface sediment (top 0–2 cm interval) constituent concentration data (primarily) and microbial methylmercury production potential rate data (limited) collected from the Cache Creek Settling Basin (CCSB), Yolo County, California, between April 2010 and July 2017. The dataset includes up to 706 observations (including field replicates) per sediment parameter, reflecting 93 unique sampling locations, with each location having been sampled from 1 to 28 times (excluding field replicates) over this 8-year period. There were four spatially intensive field campaigns conducted (February–March 2013, May 2013, October–November 2014, and January–March 2015), during which at least 90 sites were sampled. A sub-set of 13 sites were sampled intensively (20–28 times, primarily during 2015–2017) to create a more detailed monthly time-series at these locations. Sampling was conducted over a range of hydrologic conditions, from periods when the basin was essentially dry (no overlying water, even in ‘open-water’ habitats) to periods when the basin was nearly fully flooded (most sites with overlying water).  
This data release includes six data tables given both as excel (*.xlxs) and machine readable format (*.csv): 1) ‘CCSB.SED_data.dictionary’, the Data Dictionary, which provides definitions and details related to the other five data tables and includes citations of analytical methods; 2) ‘CCSB.SED_2010-17’, the primary dataset with spatial/temporal sediment and pore water analyses; 3) ‘CCSB.SED_seq’, a sub-set of sediment samples (33 sites collected during May 2013) assayed for Hg using a 5-fraction sequential extraction procedure; 4) ‘CCSB.SED_grain.size’, data on detailed sediment grain-size distribution (by laser-scattering Coulter counter) for 615 unique samples (plus n=65 field duplicates); 5) ‘CCSB.SED_size.frac’, a sub-set of sediment samples (33 sites collected during May 2013) size-fractioned into 5 size classes and assayed for total mercury and limited suite of parameters, including particulate surface area (at 15 of the 33 sites); and 6) ‘CCSB.SED¬_QA’, quality assurance data summary. The mapping of the physical site locations can be found on the companion child page associated with this product (‘see associated items’).

Bathymetry of Bourbon Lake near Loretto, Kentucky, April 9–10, 2018

These data are bathymetry (lake bottom elevation) in XYZ format, generated from the April 9–10, 2018, survey of Bourbon Lake and Williams Lake near Loretto, Kentucky. Bathymetric and topographic data were collected using an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) and a real-time kinematic global positioning system (GPS). Data were collected as the AUV traversed the lake along planned survey lines, and these data were supplemented by manual GPS shots in a few areas the AUV could not reach. Data collection software integrated and stored the depth and position data from the AUV in real time. Data processing required computer software to extract bathymetry data from the raw data files and to summarize and map the information.

Compiled Database and Results of the Analysis of Multiple Groundwater-Quality Datasets for Idaho

Groundwater is an important source of drinking and irrigation water throughout Idaho, and groundwater quality is monitored by various Federal, State, and local agencies. The historical, multi-agency records of groundwater quality include a valuable dataset that has yet to be compiled or analyzed on a statewide level. The purpose of this study is to combine groundwater-quality data from multiple sources into a single database, to summarize this dataset, and to perform bulk analyses to reveal spatial and temporal patterns of water quality throughout Idaho. Data were retrieved from the Water Quality Portal (www.waterqualitydata.us), the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality, and the Idaho Department of Water Resources. Analyses included counting the number of times a sample location had concentrations above Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCL), performing trends tests, and calculating correlations between water-quality analytes.

Channel centerline for the Tillamook, Trask, Wilson, Kilchis, and Miami Rivers, Oregon in 2009

The Tillamook Bay subbasins and Nehalem River basins encompass 1,369 and 2,207 respective 
square kilometers of northwestern Oregon and drain to the Pacific Ocean. The Tillamook, Trask, 
Wilson, Kilchis, and Miami Rivers flow into Tillamook Bay near the towns of Tillamook and Garibaldi. 
The Wilson and Trask River basins cover the largest areas (500 and 451 square kilometers, 
respectively) whereas the Tillamook and Kilchis Rivers encompass similar sized areas (156 
and 169 square kilometers, respectively) and the Miami River the smallest area (94 square 
kilometers). In cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Geological Survey 
completed a reconnaissance-level assessment of channel condition and bed-material transport 
relevant to the permitting of in-stream gravel extraction along the the major alluvial portions of 
six river systems, including the lowermost 14.1 km of the Tillamook River, 16.3 km of the Trask 
River, 15.2 km of the Wilson River, 7.8 km of the Kilchis River, 11.6 km of the Miami River, and 
31.4 km of the Nehalem River. To support these analyses, digital channel maps were produced 
to depict channel and floodplain conditions in the Tillamook Bay sub-basins and Nehalem River 
basin from different time periods. GIS layers defining the wetted channel and bar features and 
channel centerline in the study area were developed for four time periods: 1939, 1967, 2005, 
and 2009. For this project, the active channel was defined as area typically inundated during 
annual high flows, and includes the low-flow channel as well as side channels, islands, and 
channel-flanking gravel bars. The wetted channel and bar feature datasets were developed by 
digitizing from aerial photographs. Aerial photographs from 1939 and 1967 were scanned, 
rectified, and mosaicked for this project (See metadata for each photograph set for more 
information on the rectification process and resolution of each dataset). Digital orthophotographs 
from 2005 and 2009 are publicly available.

USGS National and Global Oil and Gas Assessment Project-Gulf Coast Mesozoic Province, Bossier Formation Assessment Units

The Assessment Unit is the fundamental unit used in the National Assessment Project for the assessment of undiscovered oil and gas resources.  The Assessment Unit is defined within the context of the higher-level Total Petroleum System.  The Assessment Unit is shown herein as a geographic boundary interpreted, defined, and mapped by the geologist responsible for the province and incorporates a set of known or postulated oil and (or) gas accumulations sharing similar geologic, geographic, and temporal properties within the Total Petroleum System, such as source rock, timing, migration pathways, trapping mechanism, and hydrocarbon type.  The Assessment Unit boundary is defined geologically as the limits of the geologic elements that define the Assessment Unit, such as limits of reservoir rock, geologic structures, source rock, and seal lithologies.  The only exceptions to this are Assessment Units that border the Federal-State water boundary.  In these cases, the Federal-State water boundary forms part of the Assessment Unit boundary.

Temperature-dependent growth of Geomyces destructans, the fungus that causes bat white-nose syndrome

White-nose syndrome (WNS) is an emergent disease estimated to have killed over five million North American bats. Caused by the psychrophilic fungus Geomyces destructans, WNS specifically affects bats during hibernation. We describe temperature-dependent growth performance and morphology for six independent isolates of G. destructans from North America and Europe. Thermal performance curves for all isolates displayed an intermediate peak with rapid decline in performance above the peak. Optimal temperatures for growth were between 12.5 and 15.8 degrees C, and the upper critical temperature for growth was between 19.0 and 19.8 degrees C. Growth rates varied across isolates, irrespective of geographic origin, and above 12 degrees C all isolates displayed atypical morphology that may have implications for proliferation of the fungus. This study demonstrates that small variations in temperature, consistent with those inherent of bat hibernacula, affect growth performance and physiology of G. destructans, which may influence temperature-dependent progression and severity of WNS in wild bats.

Airborne radiometric flight line data, Charleston, South Carolina and surrounds, 2019

Airborne radiometric data are provided here as part of the data release "Airborne magnetic and radiometric survey, Charleston, South Carolina and surrounds, 2019." This data release includes the processed aeroradiometric data (gamma spectrometry for potassium, thorium, and uranium) provided in an ascii .csv file and geoTIFF images showing the total count, potassium, thorium, and uranium values. Spectral data are provided within the contractor deliverables .zip file. This package and the contractor report are available on the parent page, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9EWQ08L.
These data were collected as part of a high-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey over Charleston, South Carolina and the surrounding region with a goal of better understanding earthquake hazards in the Charleston seismic zone by imaging structural features in the crystalline basement, and to image heavy mineral sands containing titanium, zirconium, and rare earth elements using radiometric data (gamma spectrometry), which is sensitive to thorium in monazite. This survey represents a collaborative effort by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Earthquake Hazards Program, Mineral Resources Program, National Cooperative Mapping Program, and Earth Mapping Resource Initiative (Earth MRI) effort.
Data for this survey were collected by Terraquest, Ltd. under contract with the USGS using a fixed wing aircraft with magnetometers mounted in the tail stinger and each wing tip pod and a fully calibrated gamma ray spectrometer from May to July of 2019. The survey covers a 134-kilometer x 90-kilometer rectangular area parallel to the Atlantic Ocean shoreline along the long axis. Data were collected along northwest-southeast flight lines spaced 400 meters (m) apart with northeast-southwest tie lines flown every 4000 m. A mean terrain clearance of 127 m was maintained. Most of the survey data were collected at lower flying heights, except near and over the City of Charleston higher clearance was maintained due to safety considerations. A total of 32,447-line kilometers (km) of data were collected.
