Voltages measured on long grounded electrically conducting lines in North American during several magnetic storms, 1891-1940

Presented is a list of voltages (electric potential differences) measured during magnetic storms on grounded long lines in the United States and Canada between 1891 and 1940. The sources for the list are published papers, technical documents, and newspapers. Each entry consists of the maximum voltage measured for each storm on a specified line connecting two ground points, nominally, between A "and" B; however, if a specific polarity is available, for example, the positive voltage from point A to point B, then the maximum voltage for the indicated polarity is listed, that is, positive A "to" B; conversely, for the opposite polarity, that is, from point B to point A, then the maximum voltage for the indicated polarity is listed, B "to" A. Per the sources, the list includes brief descriptions of each measurement, the locations of ground points (city/town names), and the date each measurement was made. When given by the sources, start time and end times are also listed. None of the sources include specific locations (latitude and longitude) of the ground points; these have been estimated by the location of the city/town. For each listed voltage, the distance between the ground points and the corresponding average geoelectric field strength are given.

Soil water balance, groundwater flow, and stream temperature models for Beaver Creek, Alaska, 2019 to 2050

A combined soil water balance, groundwater flow and stream temperature model was developed to simulate stream temperature under historical and future conditions. Soil-Water-Balance code was used to estimate net infiltration past the root zone and surface runoff, which were applied to a transient, three-dimensional MODFLOW 6 model to simulate the water budget for Beaver Creek and the contributing groundwater flow system at a 7-day time resolution. Instream temperatures were simulated using a Stream Network TEMPerature (SNTEMP) model based on the Streamflow Routing (SFR) Package network and simulated groundwater discharge and surface runoff from the MODFLOW model. Model parameter estimation was performed via history matching of groundwater levels, instream flows and stream temperatures for 2019–2023. Future climate scenarios were developed using an initial spin up 2019-2023 period and then downscaled data from the Scenarios Network for Alaska and Arctic Planning (SNAP) for 2023-2050

Estimated low-flow statistics at ungaged stream locations in New Jersey, water year 2022

Estimates of various low-flow statistics were computed at 56 ungaged stream locations throughout New Jersey during the 2022 water year using methods in the published reports, 1) Streamflow characteristics and trends in New Jersey, water years 1897-2003 (Watson and others, 2005) and 2) Implementation of MOVE.1, censored MOVE.1, and piecewise MOVE.1 low-flow regressions with applications at partial-record streamgaging stations in New Jersey (Colarullo and others, 2018). The estimates are computed as needed for use in water resources permitting, assessment, and management by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. The data release includes the stream name, location, drainage area, method of estimation, lowest annual and winter average flows, and the 75 percent flow duration computed during the 2022 water year. The data are provided in plain text file and ArcGIS shapefile formats.

Plant cover and density and sagebrush growth in Idaho roadsides treated with herbicides and bioherbicides

Proliferation of cheatgrass and other exotic annual grasses such as medusahead and ventenata are a major environmental concern and operational problem for roadsides in Idaho.  These annual grasses are highly flammable and they shorten fire-return intervals.  Flammable vegetation is particularly hazardous in roadsides because of proximity to a ready source of ignition, and fires that start on roadsides can spread into adjacent public lands and urban communities with sprawling home development, causing extensive and expensive damage and degradation to wildlife habitat, rangelands, private or public property, utilities, etc.  Thus, the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) has a strong interest in preventing roadside vegetation from becoming invaded by exotic annual grasses and in improving vegetation on roadsides that are currently invaded, replacing exotic annual grasses with perennial bunchgrasses and forbs that support pollinators.
These data were generated in roadside tests of various tools designed to reduce exotic annual grasses on the landscape, as well as techniques designed to improve the efficacy of these tools.  These include the ACK55 strain of the bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens, which was isolated to target cheatgrass, medusahead and jointed goatgrass (aka “weed-suppressive bacteria”, hereafter “WSB”).  We also tested a relatively new pre-emergent herbicide, indaziflam (Rejuvra®) thought to remain active in soil for years after application.  We tested these against and in combination with the “workhorse” pre-emergent herbicide most frequently sprayed by land managers for exotic annual grass control, Imazapic (Plateau®).

Quarterly sample results for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) for locations in Campbell, Wisconsin, 2021-24 (ver. 2.0, March 2025)

This data release provides the concentration results for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) collected on French Island, in the town of Campbell, Wisconsin, sampled quarterly beginning in 2021. These samples were collected from groundwater wells (potable and non-potable taps) by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Upper Midwest Environmental Science Center (UMESC). Three U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certified laboratories were contracted to analyze samples for this study. Samples from the first sampling in 2021, were analyzed by SGS Axys Analytical Services Laboratory (SGS Axys) in British Columbia, Canada. Samples from the second sampling in 2021 were analyzed at the Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene (WSLH), University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, Wisconsin. Subsequent samples were analyzed at Northern Lake Service, Inc. (NLS), Crandon, Wisconsin. All samples were analyzed using liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). UMESC used three analytical labs because of the dynamic nature of sampling needs and design that shifted from an initial determination of water-supply contamination to a quarterly sampling scheme. The initial laboratory (SGS Axys) was selected because of an existing contract for PFAS tissue analysis for research that allowed for rapid submission and results. The second laboratory (WSLH) was selected to meet Wisconsin PFAS monitoring criteria and improve sample delivery within the U.S. The third laboratory (NLS) was selected using the USGS acquisitions contract process to find a certified laboratory to accomplish the long-term monitoring sampling plan. All three laboratories were selected from the EPA list of PFAS certified laboratories. 
This version 2.0 data release updates the results table with more quarterly results for samples collected March 28, 2023-March 19, 2024. The full dataset lists quarterly sampling results collected between February 4, 2021-March 19, 2024.

Geophysical and lithologic data for 12 boreholes in Raft River Valley, Idaho

In 2022, Cold Steel Mechanical, contracted by the Idaho Department of Water Resources (IDWR), drilled and constructed 12 wells in Raft River Valley, Idaho. The wells were drilled using compressed air, dual rotary methods and were fully cased to completed depths. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) collected groundwater level and select geophysical data at each well between November 15th and 18th, 2022. Geophysical data were collected using Century™ multi-parameter logging probes and select logs are displayed in well log figures. Select geophysical logs include natural gamma, neutron, gamma-gamma density, specific conductance, and temperature. Geophysical data shown in well log figures were collected using the natural gamma, temperature, and specific conductance probe (9042A), neutron probe (9057A), and gamma-gamma density probe (0024C). All geophysical data were collected through cased wells. For each well, the primary 9042A probe survey was conducted from the top-down and repeat 9042A surveys were performed from the bottom up after reaching total unobstructed depth. With exception to Well 4, where all surveys were performed from the top-down, geophysical data collected with the 9057A and 0024C probes were performed from the bottom-up after reaching total unobstructed depth. Geophysical logs, driller reports, and regional geology were examined synergistically to identify lithologic units and contacts. Geophysical data can be obtained by downloading the attached LAS files or using the USGS GeoLog Locator and searching by well identifier.

Projections of shoreline change for California due to 21st century sea-level rise

This dataset contains projections of shoreline change and uncertainty bands across California for future scenarios of sea-level rise (SLR). Projections were made using the Coastal Storm Modeling System - Coastal One-line Assimilated Simulation Tool (CoSMoS-COAST), a numerical model run in an ensemble forced with global-to-local nested wave models and assimilated with satellite-derived shoreline (SDS) observations across the state. Scenarios include 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, 250, 300 and 500 centimeters (cm) of SLR by the year 2100. Output for SLR of 0 cm is also included, reflective of conditions in 2000. 
	  This model shows change in shoreline positions along pre-determined cross-shore transects, considering sea level, wave conditions, along-shore/cross-shore sediment transport, long-term trends due to sediment supply, and estimated variability due to unresolved processes (as described in Vitousek and others, 2021). Variability associated with complex coastal processes (for example, beach cusps/undulations and shore-attached sandbars) are included via a noise parameter in a model, which is tuned using observations of shoreline change at each transect and run in an ensemble of 200 simulations; this approach allows for a representation of statistical variability in a model that is assimilated with sequences of noisy observations. The model synthesizes and improves upon numerous, well-established shoreline models in the scientific literature; processes and methods are described in this metadata (see lineage and process steps), but also described in more detail in Vitousek and others 2017, 2021, and 2023. Output includes different cases covering important model behaviors (cases are described in process steps of this metadata). KMZ data are readily viewable in Google Earth. For best display of results, it is recommended to turn off any 3D features or terrain. For technical users and researchers, shapefile and KMZ data can be ingested into geographic information system (GIS) software such as Global Mapper or QGIS.

Rainy Lake and Namakan Reservoir shallow water bathymetric data, water surface elevations, and recovered high-water marks, 2022

Bathymetric data were collected with a single-beam echosounder in 2022 for 18 selected shallow (0-3 meters) areas to improve a digital elevation model (DEM) for Rainy Lake and Namakan Reservoir created by Environment and Climate Change Canada. Bathymetric data were collected in transects spaced approximately 20 meters apart. In addition to the bathymetric data, the locations and elevations of observed water surface and recovered high-water marks are being provided at select locations because of the high water observed during bathymetric data collection after a spring flood in 2022.
