1998 seismic tracklines off the coast of Washington and Oregon (geographic coordinates)

Two 21-day field operations were conducted in 1997 and 1998 in the estuaries and on the inner continental shelf off the northern Oregon and southern Washington coast. These cruises aboard the R/V Corliss were run in order to generate reconnaissance maps of the seafloor geology and the shallow subsurface stratigraphy using sidescan sonar and seismic-reflection mapping techniques. The 1998 cruise also collected sediment grab samples, bottom photographs, and video images to verify the sidescan-sonar imagery and to document the seafloor geology. The combination of these data with previously collected sediment sample data (Robert, 1974; Nittrouer, 1978; and Smith et. al., 1980) has been used to define the extent and lithology of shelf sediments associated with the Columbia River littoral cell. This work is one component of a larger project studying the erosion of the Washington and Oregon coast and is being coordinated by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Washington State Department of Ecology. The reason for collecting these data is to provide a regional synthesis of the offshore geology to support a wide variety of management decisions and to provide a basis for further process-oriented investigations.

Oregon Mule Deer Ochoco Winter Ranges

The Ochoco mule deer herd has overlapping migration corridors and summer ranges, but can be separated into three general subherds based on winter range locations. During spring, mule deer in the northern subherd use winter ranges north of the Maury Mountains, near Crooked River and the Ochoco Reservoir, and either migrate farther north to the Ochoco Mountains and Laughlin Table or east, past Twelvemile Table to the foothills of Snow Mountain. Mule deer in the middle subherd winter south of the Maury Mountains and have ranges near Bear Creek, Smoky Butte, and South Fork Crooked River. Some of the middle subherd, like the northern subherd, travel east to the base of Snow Mountain, Green Butte, and Juniper Ridge. Others migrate south to Sears Canyon, the Paulina Mountains, and the Oregon High Desert. Mule deer in the southern subherd have winter ranges adjacent to U.S. Highway 20 and migrate south to summer ranges along the Glass Buttes and the edge of the High Desert region. Habitats are similar across the Ochoco herd management unit where big sagebrush and mountain big sagebrush give way to encroaching western juniper followed by stands of ponderosa pine, lodgepole pine, and other mixed-conifer species as elevations increase. However, winter and residential ranges for the southern subherd feature more low sagebrush and agriculture and the summer ranges are less forested than the other two subherds. 
The Ochoco mule deer herd faces several challenges, including extreme to exceptional droughts that can force mule deer to compete with feral horses for water and high-quality browse. Home ranges and high-use migration corridors overlap the Liggett Table HMA and Big Summit Wild Horse Territory, which contain estimates of 170 and 130 feral horses, respectively—far more than the maximum AMLs of 25 and 57 horses (BLM, 2023b; K. Kern, U.S. Forest Service, written commun., 2023). The Ochoco herd also inhabits the Maury and Ochoco WMUs, which were included in the five-year Mule Deer Initiatives for 2010 and 2015, respectively, to improve conditions for mule deer, primarily through habitat restoration (ODFW 2015, 2020). Since improvement efforts started in 2010, ODFW, BLM, and NRCS SGI have worked together to remove 150,931 acres (61,079 ha) of western juniper and treat 5,912 acres (2,392 ha) with prescribed burns. Additionally, they completed 26 water development projects and constructed 24.28 mi (39.08 km) of wildlife-friendly fencing to protect riparian areas for mule deer fawning habitat and improve cattle distributions.
These mapping layers show the location of the winter ranges for mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in the Ochoco population in Oregon. They were developed from 180 winter sequences collected from a sample size of 87 animals comprising GPS locations collected every 3-13 hours.

Coastal Features Extracted from Landsat Satellite Imagery, Delaware Bay, New Jersey to Shinnecock Bay, New York, 2008-2022

This data release serves as an archive of coastal land-cover and feature datasets derived from Landsat satellite imagery from Delaware Bay, New Jersey (NJ) to Shinnecock Bay, New York (NY). A total of 119 images acquired between 2008 and 2022 were analyzed to produce 143 thematic land-cover raster datasets. Water, bare earth (sand), and vegetated land-cover classes were mapped using successive thresholding and masking of the modified normalized difference water index (mNDWI), the normalized difference bare land index (NBLI), and the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and applying a rule-based classification modified from the workflow described by Bernier and others (2021). Vector shoreline and sand feature extents were extracted for each image by contouring the spectral indices using the calculated threshold values. These data support the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF)-funded Monitoring Hurricane Sandy Beach and Marsh Resilience in New York and New Jersey project (NFWF project ID 2300.16.055110), for which the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (SPCMSC) is using remotely-sensed data and targeted in-situ observations to monitor the post-restoration evolution of beaches, dunes, vegetative cover, and sediment budgets at seven post-Hurricane Sandy beach and marsh restoration sites in New York and New Jersey. The geographic information system (GIS) data files with accompanying formal Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) metadata can be downloaded from this release.

Ground-based lidar data of the southeast face of El Capitan, Yosemite National Park, California, May 4, 2022

We collected two ground-based (terrestrial) lidar scans of the southeast face of El Capitan cliff, located in Yosemite National Park, California.  El Capitan is one of several iconic granitic cliffs in Yosemite and rises approximately 1000 meters above the floor of Yosemite Valley.  The scans were collected from the same location and from a single vantage point on the edge of El Capitan meadow, about 1 kilometer from the cliff base.  The two scans were collected roughly three hours apart from one another to assess accuracy related to thermal changes to the rock cliff.  Each lidar scan captures an identical section of the wall totaling approximately 1 square kilometer in vertical surface area.  The resulting point clouds each consists of approximately 59 million points (approximate point density of 59 points/square meter).

Magnetotelluric sounding data, station 1, East-Central Tooele County, Utah, 2003

This dataset includes the magnetotelluric (MT) sounding data collected in 2003 along a north-south profile west of Tooele, Utah. It is important to know whether major mining districts in the Northern Nevada Gold Province are underlain by rocks of the Archean Wyoming craton, which are known to contain orogenic gold deposits, or by accreted rocks of the Paleoproterozoic Mojave province. It is also important to know the location and orientation of the Archean/Proterozoic suture zone between these provinces as well as major basement structures within these terranes because they may influence subsequent patterns of sedimentation, deformation, magmatism, and hydrothermal activity. This study was funded by the U.S. Geological Survey's Mineral Resources Program in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.

GeoTIFF image of shaded-relief bathymetry, illuminated from 45 degrees, of the sea floor of the Hudson Canyon region (100-m resolution, Mercator, WGS 84)

The Hudson Canyon begins on the outer continental shelf off the east coast of the United States at about 100-meters (m) water depth and extends offshore southeastward across the continental slope and rise. A multibeam survey was carried out in 2002 to map the bathymetry and backscatter intensity of the sea floor of the Hudson Canyon and adjacent slope and rise. The survey covered an area approximately 205 kilometers (km) in the offshore direction, extending from about 500 m to about 4,000 m water depth, and about 110 km in the alongshore direction, centered on the Hudson Canyon. The sea floor was mapped using a SeaBeam Instruments 2112 multibeam echosounder aboard the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) ship Ronald H. Brown. Maps derived from the multibeam observations show sea-floor bathymetry and backscatter intensity (a measure of sea floor texture and roughness), geomorphic provinces, and sea-floor environments (Butman and others, 2006). The sea floor was mapped by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with Rutgers University and with support from NOAA.

LANDFIRE Remap Anderson Fire Behavior Fuel Model (FBFM13) Marshall Islands

LANDFIRE’s (LF) 2016 Remap (Remap) Anderson Fire Behavior Fuel Model 13 (FBFM13) product represents distinct distributions of fuel loadings found among surface fuel components (live and dead), size classes, and fuel types (Anderson 1982). The fuel models are described by the most common fire carrying fuel type (grass, brush, timber, or slash), loading and surface area-to-volume ratio by size class and component, fuel bed depth, and moisture of extinction. FBFM13 can be used for fire spread related characteristic models. 
LF Remap used vegetation products and 10-years of disturbance data to create Fuel Vegetation Type (FVT), Fuel Vegetation Cover (FVC), and Fuel Vegetation Height (FVH) for disturbed areas to represent pre-disturbance scenarios in FBFM13. A combination of pre-disturbance and non-disturbance Existing Vegetation Type (EVT) are used to assign surface fuel models. FBFM13 was developed using the most recent 10 years of Annual Disturbance products and is a capable fuels product that calculates Time Since Disturbance (TSD) assignments for disturbed areas using an "effective year." For example, year 2020 fuels may be calculated for the year 2020. the new process considers all the existing disturbances included in LF Remap and adjusts the TSD for these to the effective year (2020 in the example), making the products "2020 capable fuels." More information about capable fuels can be found at https://www.landfire.gov/lf_remap.php.
