Groundwater-Quality Sample Data for Abandoned Underground Coal Mine Aquifers in West Virginia, 1973 through 2016

This data file represents a compilation of existing water-quality data associated with abandoned underground coal mine aquifers in West Virginia. The first two lines of this file should be used for header information. Its intended use is as a reconnaissance tool for the purpose of directing future studies focusing on underground mine-pools. Data incorporated into this spreadsheet were obtained from multiple sources including government and academic institutions. Water-quality samples were collected from 7/13/1973 through 9/7/2016 by independent studies using multiple methods. This project identified spatially extensive data that could be attributed to abandoned underground-coal-mine aquifers throughout West Virginia and includes 770 samples from 294 sites originating from multiple coal seams.

Gauley River in Camden-on-Gauley, West Virginia, Flood Map Files from June 2016

The mapped area boundary, flood inundation extents, and depth rasters were created to provide an estimated extent of flood inundation along the Gauley River within the community of Camden-on-Gauley, West Virginia. These geospatial data include the following items: 
1. gauley_bnd; shapefile containing the polygon showing the mapped area boundary for the Gauley River flood maps, 
2. gauley_hwm; shapefile containing high-water mark points, 
3. polygon_gauley_hwm; shapefile containing mapped extent of flood inundation, derived from the water-surface elevation surveyed at high-water marks, 
4. depth_hwm; raster file for the flood depths derived from the water-surface elevation surveyed at high-water marks, 
5. polygon_gauley_dem; shapefile containing mapped extent of flood inundation, derived from the height above ground recorded at high-water marks and the digital elevation model (DEM) raster, 
6. depth_dem; raster file for the flood depths derived from the height above ground recorded at high-water marks and the digital elevation model raster. 
The upstream and downstream mapped area extent is limited to the upstream-most and downstream-most high-water mark locations. In areas of uncertainty of flood extent, the mapped area boundary is lined up with the flood inundation polygon extent. The mapped area boundary polygon was used to extract the final flood inundation polygon and depth raster from the water-surface elevation raster file. Depth raster files were created using the "Topo to Raster" tool in ArcMap (ESRI, 2012). For this study two sets of inundation layers were generated for each reach. One raster file showing flood depths, "depth_hwm", was created by using high-water mark water-surface elevation values on the land surface and a digital elevation model. However, differences in elevation between the surveyed water-surface elevation values at HWM’s and the land-surface elevation from the digital elevation model data provided uncertainty in the inundation extent of the generated layers. Often times elevation differences of +/- 20 feet were noticed between the surveyed elevation from a HWM on the land surface and the digital elevation model land-surface elevation. Due to these elevation differences, we incorporated a second method of interpolating the water-surface layer. The recorded height above ground value from the surveyed HWM was added to the digital elevation model land-surface elevation at that point. This created a new water-surface elevation value to be used with the “Topo to Raster” interpolation method to create a second depth raster, "depth_dem". Both sets of inundation layers are provided.

Summaries of Selected SSURGO Soil Attributes Within the Lake Michigan Diversion Accounting (LMDA) System

As part of the Lake Michigan Diversion Accounting (LMDA), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Chicago District (USACE-Chicago) uses Hydrological Simulation Program-Fortran (HSPF) models to estimate runoff from the ungaged portion of the diverted Lake Michigan watershed.  Simulation accuracy is evaluated at nine gaged watersheds in or adjacent to the diverted watershed.  This data release consists of an Excel file containing 18 Soil Survey Geographic Database (SSURGO) attributes summarized using various aggregation methods for gaged and ungaged areas in the LMDA system.  The gaged areas are comprised of the nine gaged watersheds used for HSPF model calibration and three gaged upstream basins.  The ungaged areas are comprised of four sewered areas known as special contributing areas (SCAs) and two ungaged areas:  the Lower Des Plaines River and the Calumet River.  These data were derived from county-level SSURGO data for Illinois and Indiana.

Provenance, classification, and abundance of RNA sequence fragments used to assess virus infections in honey bees, Apis mellifera

Deformed wing virus (DWV) is a major pathogen of concern to apiculture, and recent reports have indicated the local predominance and potential virulence of recombinants between DWV and a related virus, Varroa destructor virus 1 (VDV). However, little is known about the frequency and titer of VDV and recombinants relative to DWV generally. In this study, I assessed the relative occurrence and titer of DWV and VDV in public RNA-seq accessions of honey bee using a rapid, kmer-based approach. Three recombinant types were detectable graphically and corroborated by de novo assembly. Recombination breakpoints did not disrupt the capsid-encoding region, consistent with previous reports, and both VDV- and DWV-derived capsids were observed in recombinant backgrounds. High abundance of VDV kmers was largely restricted to recombinant forms. Non-metric multidimensional scaling identified genotypic clusters among DWV isolates, which was corroborated by read mapping and consensus generation. The recently described DWV-C lineage was not detected in the searched accessions. The data further highlight the utility of high-throughput sequencing to monitor viral polymorphisms and statistically test biological predictors of titer, and point to the need for consistent methodologies and sampling schemes.

Electrical resistance data from the Willow-Whitehorse watersheds of southeast Oregon, USA, 2014-2016

This dataset includes electrical resistance data from a network of 50 data loggers that was installed throughout the Willow-Whitehorse watershed of SE Oregon in September 2014. Data loggers were downloaded in August 2015 and September 2016.  These data loggers were used as “electrical resistance” (ER) sensors, following Chapin et al. 2014. The sensors were Onset HOBO Pendant temperature data loggers that were modified to monitor streamflow intermittency and determine the timing of stream drying.

Modified Mercalli Intensity based on peak ground acceleration, with a 10% probability of exceedance in 50 years

A seismic hazard model for South America, based on a smoothed (gridded) seismicity model, a subduction model, a crustal fault model, and a ground motion model, has been produced by the U.S. Geological Survey.  These models are combined to account for ground shaking from earthquakes on known faults as well as earthquakes on un-modeled faults.
This data set represents the results of calculations of hazard curves for a grid of points with a spacing of 0.1 degrees in latitude and longitude.  It represents Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) with a 10% probability of exceedance in 50 year.  The maps and data were derived from PGA ground-motion conversions of Worden et al. (2012), and include soil amplification based on a topographic proxy of Allen and Wald (2009), and site amplification based on Seyhan and Stewart (2014) relationships.
