Application of manure nitrogen generated by non-cattle livestock to farmland within 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. Livestock manure used as fertilizer on farmland is a potential source of nutrients delivered to streams.  The spatial data set “Application of manure nitrogen generated by non-cattle livestock to farmland within the Pacific drainages of the United States (2012)” represents an estimate of the amount of manure nitrogen generated by non-cattle livestock (such as hogs, poultry, sheep, and horses) in 2012 that was applied to farmland within the counties in which those animals were located. This data set was created by estimating the manure nitrogen generated by non-cattle livestock in 2012 within each county and disaggregating that amount to the farmland within that county.

Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2016 Site 5373 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 2016 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.

2017b high resolution seismic imaging of the West Napa Fault Zone, St. Helena, California

In September 2017, the U.S. Geological Survey acquired high resolution P- and S-wave seismic data across the suspected trace of the West Napa Fault zone in St. Helena, California, approximately 70 m north of the previous seismic survey conducted in April 2017 (Chan et al., 2018). We acquired seismic reflection, refraction, and guided-wave data along a 75-m-long profile across the expected trend of the West Napa Fault zone.  To acquire the reflection and refraction data, we co-located shots and geophones, spaced every 1 and 2 m along the profile.  We used 77 SercelTM L40A P-wave (40-Hz vertical-component) geophones with a sensitivity of 22.34 volts/meter/second to record 60 P-wave shots, and 77 SercelTM L28-LBH S-wave (4.5-Hz horizontal-component) geophones with a sensitivity of 31.3 volts/meter/second to record 60 S-wave shots. We generated P-wave data using a 3.5-kg sledgehammer and steel plate combination. S-wave sources were generated by horizontally striking an aluminum block with a 3.5-kg sledgehammer. We acquired fault zone guided wave data by generating P-wave (226-kg accelerated weight-drop, AWD) and S-wave (angle AWD) energies approximately 160 m north of the recording arrays. All data were recorded using one 60-channel Geometrics Stratavisor NX-60TM seismograph with a 24-bit analog-to-digital converter (Subcommittee of the SEG Engineering and Groundwater Geophysics Committee, 1990); the seismograph was connected to the P- and S-wave geophones via refraction cables. Each shot was recorded for two seconds, with data recording starting 100 ms before the actual time of the shot.  Data were recorded at a sampling rate of 0.5 ms, or 2000 samples per second. This report provides the metadata needed to utilize the seismic data.

Seismicity catalogs used in the 2017 USGS seismic hazard model for South America

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 seismicity catalogs used in the 2017 USGS seismic hazard model for South America.

Tag deployments and ancillary data for seabirds breeding in the main Hawaiian Islands

In this study, we employed several bio-logging technologies to track at-sea movement and behavior of five main Hawaiian Island (MHI) breeding seabird species (Brown Booby [Sula leucogaster], Laysan Albatross [Phoebastria immutabilis], Red-tailed Tropicbird [Phaethon rubricauda], Red-footed Booby [Sula sula], and Wedge-tailed Shearwater [Ardenna pacifica]) at multiple breeding colonies on or near the islands of Maui, O‘ahu, and Kaua‘i. We utilized Global Positioning System (GPS) tags to track seabird spatial movements, temperature-depth recorders (TDRs) to measure diving and immersion patterns, and accelerometry to identify behaviors.
The Deployments table provides details of all deployment and ancillary information for birds on which bio-loggers were deployed and for which data were recovered. Each record in this table (represented by a unique “DeployID”) is a deployment event of a bio-logging tag (or combination of tags) on a bird. Each record includes information on:
1. Bird identification (i.e. species, band numbers, breeding stage/phenology, sex, age, nest location, colony/site location);
2. Bio-logger tag types deployed, settings, and data recovered;
3. Deployment and recovery date/time;
4. Morphometric measurements (i.e. mass, culmen) and samples collected (i.e. blood for stable isotope analysis, diet) made at the time of tag deployment and/or recovery.
Deployment and ancillary information provided in this table can be joined by DeployID to all types of bio-logger data contained in the other sections of this data release. Note that, although rare, some individuals (represented by a common band number across multiple records) may have been tagged more than once across study years (represented by different DeployID’s across records).

At-sea ranging behavior of seabirds breeding in the main Hawaiian Islands: Bio-logger data release (ver. 2.0, May 2020)

Due to recent interest in developing offshore wind energy infrastructure around the main Hawaiian Islands (MHI), U.S. Geological Survey Western Ecological Research Center (USGS–WERC) partnered with the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) from 2013–2016 to study breeding Hawaiian seabird distributions, habitat utilizations, and ranging behaviors within near-island and outer continental shelf waters. In this study, we employed several bio-logging technologies to track at-sea movement and behavior of five MHI-breeding seabird species: Brown Booby (Sula leucogaster), Laysan Albatross (Phoebastria immutabilis), Red-tailed Tropicbird (Phaethon rubricauda), Red-footed Booby (Sula sula), and Wedge-tailed Shearwater (Ardenna pacifica). Studies were conducted at multiple breeding colonies on or near the islands of Maui, O‘ahu, and Kaua‘i. We utilized Global Positioning System (GPS) tags to track seabird spatial movements, temperature-depth recorders (TDRs) to measure diving and immersion patterns, and accelerometry to identify behaviors. This data release provides all data collected in this study, organized into the following sections:
1. Deployments – Summary of all deployment and ancillary information for birds on which bio-loggers were deployed and for which data were recovered. To be used in conjunction with compiled bio-logger data (2–5, below) in this data release.
2. GPS-e-obs – GPS and accelerometry data collected using e-Obs model tags
3. GPS-iGotU – GPS data collected using iGotu model tags
4. TDR FastLog – TDR data of potential dives
5. TDR WetDry – TDR data of wet (immersion) time periods
All data are relatable by a unique “DeployID” used for every deployment of a tag (or combination of tags) on a bird. Summary information and file metadata for each section of this release provide specific details on data structure, formatting, and potential use.

Topographic Survey and Streambed-Sediment Data of Fountain Creek between Colorado Springs and the Confluence of Fountain Creek at the Arkansas River, Colorado, 2018

In 2012, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with Colorado Springs Utilities selected 10 study reaches along Fountain Creek between Colorado Springs, Colorado and the confluence of Fountain Creek with the Arkansas River for annual bed and bank characterization and topographic surveys.  The 10 study reaches are approximately 5 to 20 bank-full channel widths in length. Data were collected in 2018 that are similar in method and scope as data collected from 2012 to 2017.Topographic survey points were collected using real-time kinematic Global Navigation Satellite Systems (RTK-GNSS). Pebble-count data were collected at all 10 study reaches and included 4 measurements of grain size at each of 25 equally spaced stations along 4 separate transects across the active channel of each study reach.  If 10 percent or more of the samples measured along the pebble-count transect were fine sand or silt (less than 2 millimeters), a streambed-sediment sample was collected for sieve-size analysis at the USGS Iowa Water Science Center Sediment Lab In Iowa City, Iowa.

Sediment grain-size distributions of three carbonate sand layers in Anahola Valley, Kaua'i, Hawai'i (ver. 2.0, July 2023)

This portion of the data release presents sediment grain-size data from samples collected from Anahola Valley, Kaua`i, Hawai`i in November, 2015 (USGS Field Activity 2015-671-FA). 63 sand and mud samples were taken from sediment cores that were collected using a Russian corer (a hand-held, side-filling peat auger) from two site locations. Site locations were determined using a hand-held global navigation satellite system, GNSS. The grain-size distributions of samples were determined using standard techniques developed by the USGS Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center sediment lab. The grain-size data are provided in a comma-delimited spreadsheet (.csv). Core ANA15-RC1 BR contained two carbonate sand layers (Sand A1from 24.5-29 cm depth and Sand A2 from 32-35 cm depth). Core ANA15-RC6 BR contained a deeper carbonate sand layer (Sand A3 96-114 cm depth).

Fiber-optic distributed temperature sensing and near-surface geophysical data collected along the Santuit River, Mashpee, MA.

The Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife has been studying brook trout populations in Cape Cod groundwater-fed river systems for decades.  Recently, a notable reduction in trout population in the Santuit River sparked the concern of several groups, including the Wampanoag Tribe. Brook trout population dynamics may be tied to water quality and temperature changes, which are both impacted by spatially preferential groundwater discharge to the river. The streambed interface temperature and near-surface geophysical data compiled in this data release were collected in summer 2018 as part of a larger effort to characterize the spatial distribution of groundwater discharge zones, and exchanges with surface water, along Cape Cod stream systems. Fiber-optic distributed temperature sensing (FO-DTS) cables were deployed along the sediment/water interface to map high spatial resolution temperature variations along the streambed that are used to locate discharges. Geophysical data include towed ground penetrating radar (GPR) data to image near surface streambed structure, and hand-carried electromagnetic imaging (EMI) data to indicate changes in streambed water quality and/or near surface sediments. Therefore, this combined dataset represents point-in-time mapping of preferential groundwater discharge points (FO-DTS), and the bed structure that controls where these points are located (GPR, EMI).
