2 meter unenhanced GeoTIFF Sidescan-Sonar Mosaic of Overton Arm - Lake Mead, Nevada (OVERTON_UNGEOG.TIF, geographic)

Lake Mead is a large interstate reservoir located in the Mojave Desert of southeastern Nevada and northwestern Arizona.  It was impounded in 1935 by the construction of Hoover Dam and is one of a series of multi-purpose reservoirs on the Colorado River.  The lake extends 183 km from the mouth of the Grand Canyon to Black Canyon, the site of Hoover Dam, and provides water for residential, commercial, industrial, recreational, and other non-agricultural users in communities across the southwestern United States.  Extensive research has been conducted on Lake Mead, but a majority of the studies have involved determining levels of anthropogenic contaminants such as synthetic organic compounds, heavy metals and dissolved ions, furans/dioxins, and nutrient loading in lake water, sediment, and biota (Preissler, et al., 1998; Bevans et al, 1996; Bevans et al., 1998; Covay and Leiker, 1998; LaBounty and Horn, 1997; Paulson, 1981).  By contrast, little work has focused on the sediments in the lake and the processes of deposition (Gould, 1951).  To address these questions, sidescan-sonar imagery and high-resolution seismic-reflection profiles were collected throughout Lake Mead by the USGS in cooperation with researchers from University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV).  These data allow a detailed mapping of the surficial geology and the distribution and thickness of sediment that has accumulated in the lake since the completion of Hoover Dam.  Results indicate that the accumulation of post-impoundment sediment is primarily restricted to former river and stream beds that are now submerged below the lake while the margins of the lake appear to be devoid of post-impoundment sediment.  The sediment cover along the original Colorado River bed is continuous and is typically greater than 10 m thick through much of its length.  Sediment thickness in some areas exceeds 35 m while the smaller tributary valleys typically are filled with less than 4 m of sediment.  Away from the river beds that are now covered with post-impoundment sediment, pre-impoundment alluvial deposits and rock outcrops are still exposed on the lake floor.

SEABOSS Images from Block Island Sound Collected During U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Cruise 2011-006-FA in JPEG Format

The USGS, in cooperation with NOAA, is producing detailed maps of the seafloor off southern New England. The current phase of this cooperative research program is directed toward analyzing how bathymetric relief relates to the distribution of sedimentary environments and benthic communities. As part of this program, digital terrain models (DTMs) from bathymetry collected as part of NOAA's hydrographic charting activities are converted into ESRI raster grids and imagery, verified with bottom sampling and photography, and used to produce interpretations of seabed geology and hydrodynamic processes. Although each of the 7 continuous-coverage, completed surveys individually provides important benthic environmental information, many applications require a geographically broader perspective. For example, the usefulness of individual surveys is limited for the planning and construction of cross-Sound infrastructure, such as cables and pipelines, or for the testing of regional circulation models. To address this need, we integrated the 7 contiguous multibeam bathymetric DTMs into one dataset that covers much of Block Island Sound. The new dataset is adjusted to mean lower low water, is provided in UTM Zone 19 NAD83 and geographic WGS84 projections, and is gridded to 4-m resolution. This resolution is adequate for seafloor-feature and process interpretation, but small enough to be queried and manipulated with standard GIS programs and to allow for future growth. Natural features visible in the grid include boulder lag deposits of submerged moraines, sand-wave fields, and scour depressions that reflect the strength of the oscillating tidal currents. Bedform asymmetry allows interpretations of net sediment transport. Together the merged data reveal a larger, more continuous perspective of bathymetric topography than previously available, providing a fundamental framework for research and resource management activities off this portion of the Rhode Island coast.Interpretations were derived from the multibeam echo-sounder data and the ground-truth data used to verify them.

Zooplankton Survey of the Northern Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, California, 2016-2018

This data set contains information on zooplankton and associated environmental parameters for sampling conducted in California's northern Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta between May 2016 and April 2018.  Macrozooplankton were sampled with horizontal tows (water surface) of a 50 cm-diameter conical plankton net that was 150cm long with 102µm mesh. Samples were preserved in the field in 10% formalin for laboratory processing that was conducted by a contractor (EcoAnalysts, Inc). Due to processing limitations, taxonomic data is not available for every sample and are thus not reflected in every data table (samples 1-28, 318-328, 531-620 have no data in the Zooplankton Taxa Table)

Algorithms and data for modeling daily estimates of diffuse and preferential groundwater recharge at U.S. Geological Survey Climate Response Network Wells in the Delaware River Basin, USA

The files and folders in this data release contain the input and output files and MATLAB algorithms used for simulations described in the associated journal article (https://doi.org/10.1007/s10040-024-02868-x). The algorithms implement a data-driven, mechanistic model of vertical infiltration through the unsaturated zone and recharge to the water table that is developed from water-balance concepts. The model of infiltration and recharge is defined in terms of observed states (such as, the water-table altitude) and unobserved states (such as, fluxes through the unsaturated zone and recharge to the water table) and includes both diffuse and preferential flow through the unsaturated zone to the water table. Estimates of the daily contributions to recharge at the water table from diffuse and preferential flow are performed by interpreting daily time-series records of observations of water-table altitude and meteorological inputs (such as, the liquid precipitation rate, snowmelt rate, and the Potential Evapotranspiration (PET) rate). The modeling approach used here is an extension of concepts of modeling infiltration and rapid recharge originally presented in Shapiro and Day-Lewis (2021) https://doi.org/10.1029/2020WR029110 and Shapiro and others (2022) (https://doi.org/10.1111/gwat.13206). The model of infiltration and recharge to the water table is applied to daily records available at 32 U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Climate Response Network (CRN) wells located in the Delaware River Basin (DRB) in the eastern United States from January 1, 2005, through December 31, 2021. The daily water-table altitude and the meteorological records described in the associated journal article (https://doi.org/10.1007/s10040-024-02868-x) are included as input files to the MATLAB algorithms described in this data release.

Digital data sets that describe aquifer characteristics of the alluvial and terrace deposits along the Beaver-North Canadian River from the panhandle to Canton Lake in northwestern Oklahoma

This data set consists of digital aquifer boundaries for the
alluvial and terrace deposits along the Beaver-North Canadian
River from the panhandle to Canton Lake in northwestern
Oklahoma. Ground water in 830 square miles of the Quaternary-age
alluvial and terrace aquifer is an important source of water for
irrigation, industrial, municipal, stock, and domestic supplies.
The aquifer consists of poorly sorted, fine to coarse,
unconsolidated quartz sand with minor amounts of clay, silt, and
basal gravel. The hydraulically connected alluvial and terrace
deposits unconformably overlie the Tertiary-age Ogallala
Formation and Permian-age formations.
		
The aquifer boundaries established in a ground-water flow model
for the aquifer include areas: 1) where the terrace deposits
pinch out against relatively impermeable Permian-age formations;
2) where the alluvium has been deposited against relatively
impermeable Permian-age formations; 3) where the alluvial and
terrace deposits have been eroded and underlying Permian-age
formations are exposed at the surface; 4) where the aquifer
extends beyond the geographic limit of the study area; and 5)
where the aquifer has little or no saturated thickness.
		
The lines in the data set representing aquifer boundaries
along geological contacts were extracted from a published
digital surficial geology data set based on a scale of
1:250,000. The geographic limits of the aquifer and areas of
little or no saturated thickness were digitized from a folded
paper map, at a scale of 1:250,000 from a ground-water
modeling report.

Potential suitable habitat for Little San Bernardino Mountains linanthus (Linanthus maculatus) in the California desert

Here we present the map of potential suitable habitat for Little San Bernardino Mountains linanthus (Linanthus maculatus). The data indicate both how many models predicted each location to be potentially suitable for the species and the average standardized habitat suitability score for each location.Data are presented at a spatial resolution of 10 m pixels, which was required to harmonize the original model inputs. However, maps of suitable habitat should be used at a resolution no smaller than 360 m (i.e., 36 pixels x 36 pixels), which corresponds with the resolution of the coarsest model input. These data are intended to be used only to target future plant surveys in areas where new occurrences are most likely to benefit future habitat modelling efforts. Complete methods and other additional information are provided in the article associated with this data release (Reese and others, 2019).

Baseline for the Southern California coastal region generated to calculate shoreline change rates using the Digital Shoreline Analysis System version 5.0

Sandy ocean beaches are a popular recreational destination, often surrounded by communities containing valuable real estate.  Development is on the rise despite the fact that coastal infrastructure is subjected to flooding and erosion.  As a result, there is an increased demand for accurate information regarding past and present shoreline changes.  To meet these national needs, the Coastal and Marine Geology Program of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is compiling existing reliable historical shoreline data along open-ocean sandy shores of the conterminous United States and parts of Alaska and Hawaii as part of the Coastal Change Hazards programmatic focus, formerly the National Assessment of Shoreline Change project.  
There is no widely accepted standard for analyzing shoreline change.  Existing shoreline data measurements and rate calculation methods vary from study to study and prevent combining results into state-wide or regional assessments.  The impetus behind this national scale project was to develop a standardized method of measuring changes in shoreline position that is consistent from coast to coast.  The goal was to facilitate the process of periodically and systematically updating the results in an internally consistent manner.
In this release, three new tidal datum-based mean high water (MHW) shorelines extracted from 2009/2010/2011, 2015, and 2016 lidar elevation data are included in the analysis (coverage not necessarily continuous statewide).  The full range of shoreline data is 1852 to 2016.  The proxy-datum bias correction has been applied on a transect-by-transect basis to reconcile offsets between the MHW shorelines and proxy-based HWL shorelines for the entire California coastal region which is divided into three subregions:  Northern California (NorCal), Central California (CenCal), and Southern California (SoCal).  In the previous report (Hapke et al., 2006), the proxy-datum bias correction was only applied to regional shoreline averages.
This shoreline change update for California reports proxy-datum bias corrected rates when that information was computed while extracting shoreline positions from lidar data.  In areas where the methods for delineating shorelines did not include computing bias correction values, the rates are reported without that correction. The proxy-datum bias concept is explained further in Ruggiero and List (2009) and in the process steps of the metadata file associated with the transect rates.
