County-level livestock data for the Pacific drainages of the United States, 2012

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is developing SPARROW models (SPAtially Related Regressions On Watershed Attributes) to assess the transport of contaminants (e.g., nutrients) through the Pacific drainages of the United States (the Columbia River basin; the coastal drainages of Washington, Oregon, and California; the Klamath River basin; the Central Valley of California, and the west slopes of the Sierra Nevada Mountains). SPARROW relates instream water quality measurements to spatially referenced characteristics of watersheds, including contaminant sources and the factors influencing terrestrial and aquatic transport. The population of livestock within a watershed is a potential factor affecting nutrient delivery to streams.  The spatial data set “County-level livestock data for the Pacific drainages of the United States (2012)" summarizes livestock populations and the associated generation of manure nutrients for each county lying partially or fully within Pacific drainages of the United States. This data set was created by combining an existing data set of county-level livestock and manure nutrient data for the United States with regional information on cattle housed in dairies and feedlots.

PCCT demonstration of flow rate versus pressure gradient measurements for determining permeability in fine-grained sediment collected from Area C, Krishna-Godavari Basin during India's National Gas Hydrate Program, NGHP-02

Understanding how effectively methane can be extracted from a gas hydrate reservoir requires knowing how compressible, permeable, and strong the overlying seal sediment is. This data release provides results for flow-through permeability, consolidation, and direct shear measurements made on fine-grained seal sediment from Site NGHP-02-08 offshore eastern India. The sediment was collected in a pressure core from the Krishna-Godavari Basin during the 2015 Indian National Gas Hydrate Program Expedition 2 (NGHP-02). Gas hydrate is a crystalline solid that forms naturally in the sediment of certain marine and permafrost environments where pressure is relatively high (equivalent to the pressure measured at ~300 meters water depth or more) and temperature is relatively low (but generally above freezing). The concentration of methane can be high enough to make certain gas hydrate occurrences potentially relevant as energy resources. To extract methane from gas hydrate, the in situ formation (generally a coarse-grained, gas-hydrate-bearing sediment interval) can be depressurized by drawing pore water out through a production well. As the pore pressure falls below the gas hydrate stability limit, the solid gas hydrate breaks down, releasing gas and water that migrate toward the production well for collection.
How effectively the production well can depressurize the gas-hydrate-bearing interval depends on how permeable the overlying seal sediment is. If the seal is permeable, depressurizing the reservoir to extract methane causes water to flow out of the seal and into the reservoir. This can limit the ability of the production well to maintain the low reservoir pressure required to break down gas.

Data release of Three-Dimensional Hydrogeologic Framework Model of the Petaluma Valley Watershed, Sonoma County, California

This digital dataset was created as part of a U.S. Geological Survey study, done in cooperation with the Sonoma County Water Agency and the City of Petaluma, to be used as the digital hydrogeologic input data for numerical simulation of the groundwater system of the Petaluma Valley Watershed, Sonoma County, California. Elevation, thickness, and extent of the hydrostratigraphic units define the geohydrologic layering of the digital framework model. The location of faults may be used to define the location of potential horizontal flow barriers in numerical simulation of the groundwater system. The intended uses of this dataset include, but are not limited to, natural resource modeling, mapping, and visualization applications.
This digital dataset represents the three-dimensional hydrogeologic framework for the Petaluma Valley Watershed, Sonoma County, California. The data define the elevation, thickness, and extent of the principal hydrostratigraphic units of the region, and faults that cut these units. The digital data describe the following eight hydrostratigraphic units: Qal, Quaternary alluvial deposits; BM, Holocene Bay Mud deposits; Qmix, Quaternary mixed unit; WG, Wilson Grove Formation; PF, Petaluma Formation; SV, Sonoma Volcanics; TV, Tolay Volcanics; BSMT, Basement rocks.
Most of the three-dimensional hydrogeologic framework data are contained within a single polygon feature class (HFM_300m_polys), which contains a mesh of polygons that represent model cells that have multiple attributes including X, Y, elevation, and thickness of each hydrostratigraphic unit. Faults are provided as a separate line features class (HFM_faults). Two additional ascii files contain the model output from 3D geologic framework and lithologic properties models for the Petaluma groundwater basin. An additional tabular data file contains specific capacity data calculated from well pumping tests.

Fiber-optic distributed temperature data collected along the streambed of Ellerbe Creek, Durham, North Carolina, USA

The data set includes temperature data from the base of the water column along the sediment interface of Ellerbe Creek, Durham, North Carolina, USA, in support of a study regarding groundwater/surface water exchange. The data were collected from 07/18/2017 to 07/26/2017 using a fiber-optic distributed temperature sensing system that has 1.01 m spatial resolution along the linear fiber-optic cable. During data analysis, the original 15 min measurments were averaged (arithmetic mean) for the entire period to potentially indicate colder groundwater inflows.

Groundwater/Surface-Water Interactions Along Ellerbe Creek in Durham, North Carolina, 2016–18

A hydrologic study involving the investigation of groundwater-surface water interactions along Ellerbe Creek, a major tributary to upper Falls Lake, was conducted in order to determine if groundwater is a likely source of nitrate input to the stream. Groundwater-surface water interactions were characterized by synoptic streamflow measurements, groundwater-level monitoring, hydrograph-separation methods and a continuous streambed temperature survey to aid in the collection and interpretation of water-quality samples along the stream.

Toxicity Data for Groundwater Contaminated by Petroleum Hydrocarbons near Bemidji, MN (2016)

Management of petroleum-impacted waters by monitored natural attenuation (MNA) requires an understanding of the toxicology of both the original compounds released as well as the transformation products formed during natural breakdown. Here, we report data from a groundwater plume consisting of a mixture of crude oil compounds and transformation products resulting from a crude-oil release in August, 1979 near Bemidji, MN, USA. Water samples were characterized for activation of 52 human nuclear receptor (NR) activities and 50 transcriptional pathways associated with toxic responses. Five replicate analyses were performed for each solution at strengths of 1, 3, and 10 times the sample concentration. Radar plots of the results for each sample and strength are provided.

5-year Relative Fractional Vegetation Cover at Abandoned Energy Development Sites on the Colorado Plateau

This data release contains a single vector shapefile and two text documents with code used to generate the data product. 
This vector shapefile contains the locations of 365 “plugged and abandoned” well sites from across the Colorado Plateau with their respective relative fractional vegetation cover (RFVC) values.
Oil and gas pads are often developed for production, and then capped, reclaimed, and left to recover when no longer productive (collectively termed “plugged and abandoned”). Understanding the rates, controls, and degree of recovery of these reclaimed well sites (well pads) to a state similar to pre-development conditions is critical for energy development and land management decision processes. 
We used the Soil-Adjusted Total Vegetation Index (SATVI) to measure post-abandonment vegetation cover relative to pre-drilling condition as a metric of recovery: relative fractional vegetation cover (RFVC).
The Google Earth Engine cloud computing platform allows for the automated processing of hundreds of images for each of the hundreds of sites, permitting time series analyses that were not easily achieved with earlier image processing methods. The time-series package BFAST in R statistical software enables the efficient detection of breaks in temporal trends, helping to identify when vegetation was cleared from the site and the magnitudes and rates of vegetation change after abandonment. 
The code text documents include:
1) Google Earth Engine Script: Well Pad Means, Medians, and DART Percentile Time Series Collection
2) R Script: Generation of BFAST time series models and calculation of RFVC
The Google Earth Engine and R code used for data processing, and the final shapefile were used for statistical analysis in the following paper:
