Undersized Fire Mapping Program Thematic Burn Severity Mosaic for CONUS in 2010

This map layer is a thematic raster image of MTBS burn severity classes for all inventoried fires occurring in CONUS during calendar year 2010 that do not meet standard MTBS size criteria. These data are published to augment the data that are available from the MTBS program. This product was produced using the methods of the Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity Program (MTBS), however these fires do not meet the size criteria for a standard MTBS assessment. The MTBS Program assesses the frequency, extent, and magnitude (size and severity) of all large wildland fires (wildfires and prescribed fires) in the conterminous United States (CONUS), Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico for the period 1984 and beyond. MTBS typically maps fires using an initial assessment (immediately after the fire) or an extended assessment (peak of green the season after the fire) for low-biomass and high-biomass fires respectively. Refer to MTBS.gov for more information on MTBS methods and criteria. Standard MTBS mappings must meet the size criteria of at least 500 acres for the eastern states and territories and 1,000 acres for the western states and territories to be eligible for mapping. Undersized MTBS fires are those fires that do not meet the standard MTBS size criteria but are otherwise mapped using standard MTBS methodologies.

Snow Measurements in Specific Canopy Structure Regimes for April 9, 2024, North of Coal Creek, San Juan Mountains, Colorado, USA

These data include snow depth and snow water equivalent (SWE) for a field campaign on April 9, 2024.  The field area is comprised of 311 surveyed points in, on the perimeter of, and surrounding six forest openings next to Coal Creek off Coal Bank Pass in the San Juan Mountains in southwestern Colorado, USA.  These measurements were taken to look at the relationship between snow accumulation and snow melt patterns between forest gaps of various sizes, and forest edges of various sizes (edge of forest gaps).  Canopy metrics, including canopy height, total gap area, mean distance to canopy, canopy closure, leaf area index, non-directional edginess, canopy edginess with a southern aspect, and canopy edginess with a northern aspect were defined using aerial lidar data for the San Juan Mountains and can be found in an affiliated data release titled, ‘High Resolution Canopy Structure and Density Metrics for Southwest Colorado Derived from 2019 Aerial Lidar.’  These metrics are also included herein for the 311 surveyed points.

Depth predictions of chemical geothermometers estimated using a three-dimensional temperature model in the Great Basin, USA

Recent work in the Great Basin region of the western United States has made it possible to predict the depth of hydrothermal reservoirs (i.e., the depth at which heat is accumulated prior to ascent via hydrothermal upflow) identified through geochemistry and to contextualize the spatial patterns of these reservoir depths. Chemical geothermometers use the chemical and mineral constituents of hydrothermal fluids to predict the temperature at which fluids equilibrated with the host rocks at depth. Assuming that most of the Great Basin is dominated by conductive conditions until a vertically connected hydrothermal flow path is created (e.g., by faulting), geothermometers reflect the chemical and thermal conditions at the depth interval that the fluid has conductively equilibrated over a long period before a vertical conduit allows convective upflow. By pairing geothermometer temperature estimates with our recent three-dimensional temperature model of conductive heat flow in the Great Basin, we estimate the corresponding reservoir depths and construct a map of circulation depths.
The predicted depths from geothermometers have spatial patterns across the Great Basin that relate to patterns seen in other geologic and geophysical data. Deeper springs generally occur disproportionately in areas with higher strain rates and in basins. We posit that current elevated strain rates reflect patterns of historic deformation where ongoing tectonic activity maintains permeable pathways to deeper reservoirs, some of which are estimated to exceed 6 km depth. Basins, as expected, contain a disproportionate number of these deep systems, because the underlying aquifers are closer to the surface in basins, thus requiring less water pressure to reach the surface than in mountain ranges. Most springs estimated to have their source in a deep reservoir occur at places known to host a hydrothermal system; these refined depth estimates of the source reservoir can help to better constrain the source depth for many known hydrothermal systems across the Great Basin.

Geochemical Data Supporting Analysis of Fate and Transport of Nitrogen in the Nearshore Groundwater and Subterranean Estuary near East Falmouth, Massachusetts, 2015-2016

Geochemical data were obtained to investigate the fate and transport of nitrogen in a subterranean estuary near East Falmouth, Massachusetts. The goal of this investigation was to assess nitrogen attenuation in the aquifer under the Eel River estuary and the adjacent peninsula.  Inorganic nitrogen was introduced to the subterranean estuary from residential septic systems and legacy cesspools.. 
Groundwater-quality data were collected from three transects from a total of twenty-seven locations that were sampled between November 2015 and October 2016. Samples were analyzed for pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature, specific conductance, nitrate + nitrite, ammonium, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and dissolved organic carbon. Selected samples also were analyzed for gaseous concentrations of nitrogen and argon.
Water-level altitudes were measured during October 24 – 26, 2016 in nine drive-point wells at three well clusters in one transect at low, high, and mean tides to determine hydraulic-head gradients.
This data release includes a data file (Aggregate_Data.csv) in comma-separated values (CSV) format that includes information about each sample collection or measurement site and field and laboratory analytical data. Site information includes U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) site name, USGS 15-digit site identification number, site type, site status, location in state plane coordinates, surface elevation, measuring point heights, the depths of the bottom of the screens below land surface, altitudes of the top and bottom of the screens, mid-screen altitudes, location along the transect, tide level, and water depth, date and time sampled.

Model archive for two-dimensional hydraulic model simulations before and after restoration work, Kootenai River, Idaho, 2011-2022

The two-dimensional (2D) hydraulic flow model International River Interface Cooperative with the Flow and Sediment Transport with Morphological Evolution of Channels solver (iRIC FaSTMECH) was used to investigate the impacts of habitat restoration treatments on hydraulic conditions in the Braided and Straight Reaches of the Kootenai River near Bonners Ferry, ID. The treatments were constructed between 2012 and 2018. Topographic surfaces from 2011, 2020, and 2022 were used to simulate hydraulic conditions before and after restoration treatments were built. Three different flow conditions (discharge and downstream water surface elevation) from the 2020 spring snowmelt hydrograph were simulated on a 5-meter model grid with the topographic surfaces for 2011, 2020, and 2022, producing a total of nine unique simulations. Flow depths, depth-averaged velocity, and area associated with each model grid node were exported for each simulation.

Dataset for trend analysis of measured suspended sediment concentrations, Kootenai River, 2006-2023

Between 2011 and 2018, numerous restoration treatments were constructed on the Straight and Braided Reaches of the Kootenai River in northern Idaho as part of the Kootenai River Habitat Restoration Project. This child item of the larger data release contains two .csv file with the data used to investigate the potential impacts of restoration treatments on suspended sediment transport within the study reach. One .csv file contains data collected between 2006 and 2023 at the upstream end of the study reach at U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) streamgage Kootenai River Below Moyie River (streamgage 12308000) and USGS site 4842231161104. The other file contains data collected between 2006 and 2023 at the downstream end of the study reach at USGS streamgage Kootenai River Tribal Hatchery near Bonners Ferry, ID (streamgage 12310100). Each .csv files contains measured suspended sediment concentrations (SSC, in mg/L), the percent fines (&lt; 0.0625 mm) in each sample, and the estimated total discharge for tributaries between Libby Dam and the study reach. Estimated tributary discharge was used in the analysis rather than Kootenai River discharge because Libby Dam upstream of the study reach has a high sediment trapping efficiency and SSC in the study reach is driven primarily by tributary inputs between Libby Dam and the study reach.

Trends in Modelled Public Supply, Irrigation, and Thermoelectric Water Use across the Conterminous United States from 2000-2020

This data release contains Mann-Kendall trend results (p-values and Theil-Sen slope values) of water use data in either 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC08) or Van Metre hydrologic regions across the conterminous United States (CONUS) for the period 2000-2020.  Trends are computed for 7 timesteps: annual, winter (Dec, Jan, Feb), spring (Mar, Apr, May), summer (Jun, Jul, Aug), fall (Sep, Oct, Nov), high (Apr-Sep), and low (Oct-Mar) from three monthly HUC12 water-use datasets: public supply (Luukkonen, and others, 2023), irrigation (Martin, and others, 2023; Haynes and others, 2023), and thermoelectric (Galanter, and others, 2023; Gorman and others, 2023). 
Trends are computed on withdrawals, consumptive use, and the ratio of consumptive use to total withdrawal types for each of the three water use categories. In addition, trends were calculated for all withdrawals across the three categories (summing HUC12 datasets). Trends in thermoelectric data and all withdrawals are limited to the period 2008-2020.
In addition to the trends data in “trends_modelled_wateruse.csv”, this dataset includes several files in the “trends.zip” folder that were used to download modelled output data, calculate trends (volumetric and Regional Kendall), and visualize trends across water-use categories and hydrologic units.
