Geospatial datasets of the glacial geology and hydrogeology of valley-fill aquifers in the Oneonta area, Otsego and Delaware Counties, New York

From 2016 to 2018, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, conducted a study of the glacial geology and hydrogeology of valley-fill (sand and gravel) aquifers and surrounding uplands within a 112-square-mile area in southern Otsego and northwestern Delaware Counties, New York, centered around the city of Oneonta. The major valleys include those of the Susquehanna River, Otego Creek, Charlotte Creek, and Schenevus Creek. A variety of data were compiled, collected, and synthesized to provide a broad picture of the glacial deposits, hydrogeologic framework, aquifer occurrence, and water-resource potential in the area. Geospatial datasets (shapefiles) of aquifer extents, wells, surficial geology and glacial features are detailed in child items associated with this data release.

Comprehensive Global Database of Earthquake-Induced Landslide Events and their Impacts (ver. 2.0, February 2022)

Currently, there are many datasets describing landslides caused by individual earthquakes, and global inventories of earthquake-induced landslides (EQIL). However, until recently, there were no datasets that provide a comprehensive description of the impacts of earthquake-induced landslide events. In this data release, we present an up-to-date, comprehensive global database containing all literature-documented earthquake-induced landslide events for the 249-year period from 1772 through August 2021. The database represents an update of the catalog developed by Seal et al. (2020), which summarized events through March 2020 and was based on the catalog developed by Nowicki Jessee et al. (2020). The revised catalog contains 281 historical earthquakes, 162 of which include documented landslide fatality counts. This represents an addition of 17 earthquakes since the previous version, 9 with documented landslide fatalities, and a removal of 2 duplicate entries. The database includes (where available) information on earthquake size (moment magnitude (Mw), surface-wave magnitude (Ms), and body-wave magnitude (mb)), depth, earthquake fault type, date and time, location, the availability of a ShakeMap, which estimates the spatial distribution of ground shaking from the USGS ShakeMap system (Worden and Wald, 2016), the availability of a geospatial landslide inventory, information about landslide occurrence (number of landslides, area or volume of landsliding, area affected by landsliding, landslide magnitude), earthquake/landslide impact (total fatalities, landslide fatalities, and number of injuries due to the effects of the earthquake), and USGS Ground Failure Tool estimates (estimated area and population exposed to landsliding). The full dataset of all known landslide-triggering events is provided as “EQIL Database 2022.csv,” including information on the data source(s) for each data component. A subset of the dataset, showing only those events for which landslide fatality counts are available, is provided as “EQIL Database LSFatality 2022.csv.” This subset only includes those columns from "EQIL Database 2022.csv" which are necessary for landslide fatality data analysis and omits columns such as source columns and secondary values.

Data for Specific Gage Analyses on the Patapsco River, 2010-2017

The U.S. Geological Survey, in collaboration with American Rivers and other partners, conducted a monitoring program beginning in 2010 to track river response to a series of dam removals on the Patapsco River intended to restore anadromous fish habitat in the watershed. Dam removals included the November 2010 removal of the Simkins dam, a 3.3 m tall and 66 m wide dam, with a reservoir sediment volume of ~67,000 cubic meters.
As part of the dam removal monitoring program, three USGS streamgaging stations were established in late 2010 along the mainstem of the Patapsco River to estimate flow and suspended sediment-transport for constraining sediment budgets. USGS 01589000 Patapsco River at Hollofield, MD was reestablished 6 km upstream of the former Simkins dam at a gage location with flow records dating from 1944 and was intended as an upstream reference for the effects of the dam removal sediment pulse. USGS 01589025 Patapsco River near Catonsville, MD was newly constructed at a location ~ 0.5 km downriver of the Simkins dam and was installed to measure sediment released by the Simkins removal. USGS 01589035 Patapsco River near Elkridge, MD was constructed ~5.5 km downstream of the Simkins dam, ~4.2 km downstream of the Bloede dam, and at a lower-gradient reach of the lower Patapsco in the transition from the Piedmont physiographic province into the Coastal Plain. 
Data collected at the three USGS streamgages were then examined with Specific Stage Analysis, Specific Discharge Analysis, and Field Measurement Analysis, collectively termed Specific Gage Analyses, to track the sediment pulse and changes to river condition through time following the Simkins dam removal.
This data release contains five tabular datasets covering the raw snapshot of data obtained from the National Water Information System (NWIS) at the three gages at unit-value (uv_data.csv) and daily-value (dv_data.csv) time scales, results of Specific Stage (Specific_Stage_results.csv) and Specific Discharge Analyses (Specific_Discharge_results.csv), and combined input and results of the Field Measurement Analysis (meas_data_analysis.csv). Data of surveyed field cross sections collected by collaborative research partners (NOAA_CrossSections_Combined.csv) are also provided as ground-truth validation for the Specific Gage Analyses.

Water Temperature, Dissolved Oxygen, and pH Point Measurements from a Beaver Pond along Fanno Creek, Oregon, on four hot days in summers 2016-17

Water-quality point measurements were collected at various depths throughout a beaver pond along Fanno Creek in the Tualatin River Basin, Oregon. Parameters collected include water temperature, dissolved oxygen, and sometimes pH. All data were collected over a short period of time (&lt; 4 hours) during 4 hot days in order to characterize the spatial (both horizontal and vertical) variability of these parameters during periods that could potentially be stressful to aquatic life.

Depth to water, spring 2018, Mississippi River Valley alluvial aquifer, raster format, in feet

This dataset is a raster surface, in feet, of the depth to water, spring 2018, Mississippi River Valley alluvial aquifer (MRVA). The raster cell size is 1,000 meters (3,280.8 ft). The raster was interpolated using (1) depth-to-water (GW_D2W) data from wells and (2) an assumed value of zero for depth to water at streamgages (SW_D2W) because the precise depth to groundwater at the streamgage is not known..The streamgage data is used only when it appears the regional aquifer and surface water are hydrologically connected.

Flood-Inundation Shapefiles for Little Calumet River from Lansing to South Holland, Illinois, 2020

Digital flood-inundation maps for about an 8-mile reach of the Little Calumet River, Illinois, were created by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The flood-inundation maps, which can be accessed through the USGS Flood Inundation Mapping Program website at https://www.usgs.gov/mission-areas/water-resources/science/flood-inundation-mapping-fim-program, depict estimates of the areal extent and depth of flooding corresponding to selected water levels (stages) at three USGS streamgages: Little Calumet River at South Holland, Illinois (USGS station 05536290); Little Calumet River at Munster, Indiana (USGS station 05536195); and Thorn Creek at Thornton, Illinois (USGS station 05536275). Near-real-time stages at these streamgages may be obtained on the internet from the USGS National Water Information System at https://doi.org/10.5066/F7P55KJN or the National Weather Service (NWS) Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service at https://water.weather.gov/ahps/, which also forecasts flood hydrographs at this site.
Flood profiles were computed for the stream reaches using a one-dimensional unsteady flow step-backwater hydraulic model. The model performance was evaluated using historical streamflow measurements and the most current stage-discharge relations at the USGS streamgages at Little Calumet River at South Holland, Illinois; Little Calumet River at Munster, Indiana; and Thorn Creek at Thornton, Illinois. The model was used to compute 24 water-surface profiles at 1-foot intervals referenced to the streamgage datum and ranging from bankfull to about the 0.2-percent annual-exceedance probability flood (500-year recurrence interval flood). The simulated water-surface profiles were then combined with a geographic information system digital elevation model (derived from light detection and ranging data having a 0.6-foot vertical accuracy and a 2-foot horizontal resolution) to delineate the area flooded at each water level. Breach shapefiles were included in this study to determine the extent of flooding if the river breached a levee in the nearby vicinity. The resultant flooding area is deemed the ‘area of uncertainty’ in the flood-inundation maps.
The availability of these maps, along with internet information regarding current stage from USGS streamgages and forecasted high-flow stages from the NWS, will provide emergency management personnel and residents with information that is critical for flood-response activities such as evacuations and road closures, as well as for postflood recovery efforts.

Data for Field Evaluation of the Sequoia Scientific LISST-ABS Acoustic Backscatter Sediment Sensor

This dataset summarizes various sedimentary data from ten U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) surface water sites across the contiguous United States. These sites include:
01648010 Rock Creek at Joyce Road, Washington, DC
05586300 Illinois River at Florence, Illinois
06731000 Cherry Creek below Cherry Creek Lake, Colorado
06807000 Missouri River at Nebraska City, Nebraska
06935965 Missouri River at St. Charles, Missouri
08374550 Rio Grande near Castolon, Texas
08375300 Rio Grande at Rio Grande Village, Big Bend National Park, Texas
09404200 Colorado River above Diamond Creek near Peach Springs, Arizona
11447650 Sacramento River at Freeport, California
12046260 Elwha River at diversion near Port Angeles, Washington
The dataset includes suspended-sediment concentration (SSC) data derived from an in-situ acoustic sensor (in milligrams per liter, mg/L), as well as laboratory-analyzed SSC data from discrete, physical samples (in mg/L), turbidity data collected from optical sensors (in Formazin Nephelometric Units, FNU), percentage of fines data (percent fines, %), and depth below the surface of the river (in meters) where physical samples were collected for select sites. The in-situ SSC data were determined using Sequoia Scientific’s LISST-ABS, a submersible acoustic sensor that measures acoustic backscatter at a point within a river or stream cross-section. The LISST-ABS emits an acoustic signal and measures the relative strength of the backscatter (the acoustic energy scattered by sediment back toward the signal source) which is converted from decibels to a concentration reading in milligrams per liter.

Operation of an electrical barrier to block sea lamprey in the Black Mallard, Michigan, detailing stream temperature, conductivity, discharge, electric field intensity, and animals trapped and killed during 2016, 2017, and 2018

Sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) control is achieved in tributaries to the Laurentian Great Lakes by applying lamprey-specific pesticides (lampricide) to habitats containing larval sea lamprey.  Lampricide treatments are cheaper and more effective in watersheds where dams block runs of adult sea lamprey and hence limit the distribution of sea lamprey larvae.  However, dams impound water and those without fishways block movement of valued fishes, outcomes that are untenable for some stakeholders. Here, an alternative to physical barriers was tested to block adult sea lamprey; a portable and seasonal non-physical barrier of pulsed direct current that does not impound water, allows fish passage when not operated, and is relatively cheap.  The electric field was operated in the Black Mallard River, Michigan, USA, March through August, 2016-2018.  Here, we release data collected during the deployment of this barrier including stream discharge, water temperature, water conductivity, electric field measurements, animals captured in traps deployed downstream and upstream of the barrier, and dead animals recovered from downstream and upstream of the barrier.

Data Release for the 2018 Update of the U.S. National Seismic Hazard Model: Where, Why, and How Much Probabilistic Ground Motion Maps Changed

This dataset presents where, why, and how much probabilisitic ground motions have changed with the 2018 update of the National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) for the conterminous U.S. (CONUS) vs. the 2014 NSHM. In the central and eastern U.S., hazard changes are the result of updated ground motion models (further broken down by median and epistemic uncertainty, aleatory variability, and site effects models) and gridded seismicity models. In the western U.S., hazard changes are the result of updated ground motion models in four urban areas with deep sedimentary basins and gridded seismicity models. Probabilistic ground motion changes (2% in 50 years probability of exceedance for a firm rock site, VS30 = 760 m/s) are presented for 153,255 sites across the CONUS for 0.2s and 1s spectral acceleration. A MATLAB script is provided so that the dataset can be searched by site location. A statistical analysis of the dataset was also performed and is provided in a table (Table 1).
