Water_Level_na_SLR: Modeling the effects of large-scale interior headland restoration on tidal hydrodynamics and salinity transport in an open coast, marine-dominant estuary: model input and results

Using version 20.1_19 of the Discontinuous-Galerkin Shallow Water Equations Model (DG-SWEM) (Kubatko and others, 2006), astronomic tides and salinity transport were simulated at Grand Bay, Alabama (AL), under scenarios of interior headland restoration and sea level rise, as described in Passeri and others (2023). The two-dimensional DG-SWEM model can be applied to coastal and estuarine systems to solve for time-dependent hydrodynamic circulation and salinity transport. The DG-SWEM model uses the ADCIRC framework (Luettich and others, 1992) and requires inputs of an unstructured finite element mesh. For this study, the mesh domain has an open ocean boundary in the Gulf of Mexico and has higher spatial resolution elements (20 - 100 meters [m]) along the Mississippi and Alabama coast. The model mesh coordinates (latitude and longitude) and simulated maximum water surface elevations are included in this data release. For further information regarding model input generation and visualization of model output, refer to Passeri and others (2023).

Larval and Young of Year Walleye Diets in Western Lake Erie during 2014 and 2019

Lake Erie walleye (Stizostedion vitreum) recruitment fluctuates annually and depends partially on their diet and growth during their first year of life. To determine how age-0 walleye have responded to changes in prey species and abundance, larval and young of year walleye were collected from western Lake Erie in 2019 and 2014. Larval and young of year fish stomachs were extracted and dissected, with prey contents removed for later identification. All prey contents were identified to the lowest possible taxonomic level using a dissecting microscope and counted, with up to 20 prey items from each taxa per fish measured (0.01 mm) using a digital computer image analysis system. Zooplankton prey items were identified to order, family, or genus and measured for body length, excluding the spine. Invertebrate prey items were identified to order, family, or genus and measured for body length and/or head capsule width. Fish prey items were measured for total length, standard length, backbone length, or otolith length depending on their degree of digestion.

Larval headwater stream amphibian captures from the Trask River Watershed Experimental Study of forest harvest impacts, 2008-2016

Forest harvest is one of the primary landscape-scale management actions affecting riparian forests of the Pacific Northwest, U.S, yet the effect of harvest on headwater steam amphibians is largely understudied. Existing information is often limited because of the difficulty separating movement and emigration processes from occupancy and abundance estimates. We designed a before-after control-impact experiment to account for instream movement in the responses of three unique headwater stream amphibians to clearcut logging as part of the Trask River Watershed Experimental Study in the Oregon Coast Range. We captured and marked larval tailed frogs (Ascaphus truei), Coastal giant salamanders (Dicamptodon tenebrosus), and Columbia torrent salamanders (Rhyacotriton kezeri) across 3,915 sampling occasions that spanned 13 study reaches and eight years.

Water-quality profiles within the Caloosahatchee River and twelve fiberglass tanks, during experimental nutrient addition treatments, 2021 (ver. 1.1, August 2024)

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Data Release provides water-quality data collected during 1-week and 2-week nutrient studies beginning on February 22, May 17, and July 26 located in the Caloosahatchee River at the S-79 water-control structure. For each study period, 12 fiberglass tanks were suspended in the river using three floating cradles with each cradle holding four tanks. Each tank was open to the atmosphere and closed to the river. The tanks were filled with native water during the first day of each study period. Four different treatment methods were represented within each cradle. For all three study periods, two of the four treatments remained constant: ammonium hydroxide and untreated. For the 1-week study period in February, the additional treatment methods were sodium phosphate dibasic dodecahydrate and sodium nitrate. For the 2-week study period in May, the additional treatment methods were sodium phosphate dibasic dodecahydrate and urea. For the 2-week study period during July-August, the additional treatment methods were sodium nitrate and urea. Treatments were added to the tanks following the profiles on the first day of each study period. Nutrient samples were collected and processed by Nova Southeastern University. Water-quality sensor data were collected near the surface (approximately 1 foot below the water surface), near the middle of the water column (approximately 2 feet below the water surface), and near the bottom (approximately 3 feet below the water surface) of each tank using a multi-parameter water-quality sonde. Additional water-quality sensor data were collected at approximately 1, 2, and 3 feet below the water surface within the river. Each point reading is provided as an instantaneous measurement. Water-quality parameters measured include water temperature, specific conductance, pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, phycocyanin fluorescence, chlorophyll fluorescence, and fluorescence of dissolved organic matter. Revision History: First release: November 2023. Version 1.1: August 2024. Changes from previous version: in file "Mesocosms_profiles_2021_datarelease_data" revised one of the four treatment methods for the July-August study period from sodium phosphate dibasic dodecahydrate to sodium nitrate to correct an Excel entry error.

Environmental DNA (eDNA) Metabarcoding assessment of dead-end hollow fiber ultrafiltration (D-HFUF) and polyethylstyrene (PES) filters filtration methods on detection of freshwater mussel eDNA from Flint River and Spring Creek, Georgia and Big Piney River, Missouri

This dataset contains raw sequence data collected from an eDNA metabarcoding project to detect freshwater mussel species across two sites in Georgia (Spring Creek and Flint River) and one drainage in Missouri (Big Piney River). The eDNA samples were collected from each stream using dead-end ultra filtration (D-HFUF) with eDNA extracted from filters. We used two previously published primer sets designed to amplify freshwater mussels, one that amplified the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) region and one that amplified the NADH dehydrogenase subunit I region, with negative control and mock community samples included. Samples were individually indexed, pooled, and sequenced on an Illumina MiSeq high-throughput sequencer. Raw reads were  processed with bioinformatic scripts to identify unique sequences and filter out low-quality reads. Reads were assigned to mussel species using the NCBI executable BLAST v2.12.0+ and the NCBI nt database.

Great Salt Lake TBDEM GeoTIFF

This section of the data release includes the topobathymetric elevation dataset of Great Salt Lake as an assimilated raster comprising interpolated bathymetry from 2005 and 2006 (Baskin, 2005; Baskin, 2006) and QL1 and QL2 lidar from 2016 (Utah Geospatial Resource Center, 2016). The bathymetric dataset was originally published as contour maps. The contours were interpolated to develop a digital elevation model that is readable by a geographic information system and compatible with topographic lidar data generated in 2016. Because the water elevation of Great Salt Lake has declined since 2005, regions of the bathymetric and lidar datasets overlap to provide a reasonable estimate of error. The topobathymetric dataset was generated with a horizontal projection of UTM Zone 12N, North American Datum of 1983, Geoid 12b at a 0.5-meter horizontal resolution, and referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 in meters.
