Percent cover/relative abundance rasters for 25 aquatic vegetation species for pools 4, 8, and 13 on the Upper Mississippi River system from 1998-2019

A geodatabase was developed to compile mapped abundance raster datasets for 25 species/species groups (e.g., all duckweeds combined) for pools 4, 8, and 13 on the Upper Mississippi River system from 1998-2019. Individual rasters within the geodatabase have scores ranging from 0 (species modeled to be absent at that raster cell) to 100 (highest possible mapped abundance probability at that raster cell). Relative abundance, for submersed species and filamentous algae, represents the sum of rake scores across the six subsites divided by the maximum possible rake score (30) at each site, multiplied by 100 (0-100%). Percent cover, for emersed, rooted floating-leaved and free-floating lifeforms, represents the maximum % cover for each category (0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100%). These site level values were then applied to the entire pool using an inverse distance weighting interpolation method.

Machine learning model that estimates total monthly and annual per capita public-supply water use (version 2.0)

This child item describes a machine learning model that was developed to estimate public-supply water use by water service area (WSA) boundary and 12-digit hydrologic unit code (HUC12) for the conterminous United States. This model was used to develop an annual and monthly reanalysis of public supply water use for the period 2000-2020. This data release contains model input feature datasets, python codes used to develop and train the water use machine learning model, and output water use predictions by HUC12 and WSA. Public supply water use estimates and statistics files for HUC12s are available on this child item landing page. Public supply water use estimates and statistics for WSAs are available in public_water_use_model.zip.
This page includes the following files:
PS_HUC12_Tot_2000_2020.csv - a csv file with estimated monthly public supply total water use from 2000-2020 by HUC12, in million gallons per day
PS_HUC12_GW_2000_2020.csv - a csv file with estimated monthly public supply groundwater use for 2000-2020 by HUC12, in million gallons per day
PS_HUC12_SW_2000_2020.csv - a csv file with estimated monthly public supply surface water use for 2000-2020 by HUC12, in million gallons per day
Note: 1) Groundwater and surface water fractions were determined using source counts as described in the 'R code that determines groundwater and surface water source fractions for public-supply water service areas, counties, and 12-digit hydrologic units' child item. 2) Some HUC12s have estimated water use of zero because no public-supply water service areas were modeled within the HUC.

Rainfed and Irrigated Cropland Areas for Africa

Agriculture consumes the largest share of freshwater globally, therefore, distinguishing between rainfed and irrigated croplands is essential for agricultural water management and food security. Yet in Africa, disaggregating croplands is challenging due to the continent's vast size, diverse climates, and varied agricultural practices. In this study, a framework using the Budyko model was applied to differentiate between rainfed and irrigated cropland areas in Africa for eight remote sensing landcover products and a high confidence cropland map (HCCM). The approach outlined in this research expands on the suite of remote sensing landcover products that can be used for agricultural water studies in Africa by enabling the extraction of irrigated and rainfed cropland data from landcover products that do not have disaggregated cropland classes.

Soil-water-balance groundwater recharge model results for Long Island, NY, 1900-2019

This data release contains the output from a Soil-Water-Balance (SWB) model (Westenbroek and others, 2010), used to estimate potential recharge to the Long Island regional aquifer system from 1900-2019. Output data for two SWB simulations are included. The first simulation uses available land-use/land-cover datasets to estimate recharge with changing land use from 1900-2019 (referred to as the post-development simulation). The second simulation assumed a forested, undeveloped (predevelopment simulation) condition across Long Island for the same period. The same soil coverages and time-series climate data were used throughout both simulations. 
Potential recharge was spatially distributed as gridded output across Long Island in 100m x 100m grid cells. The potential recharge is in units of inches per year and are provided as ascii files.  The SWB model archive, including source code and input files, used to estimate the potential recharge is available in Finkelstein (2022).

Quantitative polymerase chain reaction and confocal microscopy data describing cell penetrating peptide-mediated delivery of gene silencing agents to the invasive common reed Phragmites australis

These data describe delivery of novel gene silencing agents (GSAs) to leaf tissue of the invasive common reed &lt;i&gt;Phragmites australis&lt;/i&gt; ssp. &lt;i&gt;australis&lt;/i&gt; using cell penetrating peptides (CPPs).  These CPPs were tested for their ability to infiltrate &lt;i&gt;P. australis&lt;/i&gt; leaf tissue using confocal microscopy. In addition, a series of novel gene silencing agents targeting a putative phytoene desaturase (&lt;i&gt;PDS&lt;/i&gt;) gene were developed including twelve antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), five artificial microRNAs (amiRNAs), and amiRNA-expressing plasmids and a cassette. GSAs were applied to living &lt;i&gt;P. australis&lt;/i&gt; plants in conjunction with cell penetrating peptides and an infiltration medium at multiple charge ratios and application frequencies. Reduced expression of &lt;i&gt;PDS&lt;/i&gt; was then characterized using reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Confocal microscopy and qPCR results  are available herein.

Attributed North American Grid-Based Offshore Sampling Frames

This sampling frame is a set of grid-based, finite-area frames spanning the offshore areas surrounding Canada, the United States, and Mexico, and is intended for use with the North American Bat Monitoring Program (NABat). A Generalized Random-Tessellation Stratified (GRTS) Survey Design draw was added to the sample units from the raw sampling grids (https://doi.org/10.5066/P9XBOCVV). The GRTS survey design algorithm assigns a spatially balanced and randomized ordering (GRTS order) to each cell within its respective framework. Grid cells are prioritized numerically; the lower the number, the higher the sampling priority. Cells can then be selected for monitoring following the GRTS order, ensuring both randomization and spatial balance. Monitoring within this standardized framework allows statistical inference to non-surveyed locations and ensures the validity of analyses at regional and range-wide scales. NABat is a continental collaboration including state and provincial, federal, and local agencies intended to standardize the collection and storage of bat data. Alaskan and Canadian waters are combined into a single grid. There are 5 grids in total: Alaska/Canada (AKCAN) Offshore grid, Continental United States (CONUS) Offshore grid, Mexico Offshore grid, Hawaii Offshore Grid, and Caribbean Offshore grid. Grid boundaries are based on World Exclusive Economic Zone oceanic political boundaries and extend into the shoreline 30 kilometers.

Gunnison sage-grouse habitat suitability surface for Crawford satellite population (summer, landscape): Colorado Parks and Wildlife critical habitat extent (southwestern Colorado)

The Gunnison sage-grouse (Centrocercus minimus) habitat suitability surface for Crawford satellite population represented here reflects summer season at a landscape scale context (window extents [radius] of 1 km, 3 km, and 6.4 km). Habitat suitability estimated for Colorado Parks and Wildlife critical habitat extent (southwestern Colorado).
We developed habitat selection models for Gunnison sage-grouse (Centrocercus minimus), a threatened species under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. We followed a management-centric modeling approach that sought to balance the need to evaluate the consistency of key habitat conditions and improvement actions across multiple, distinct populations, while allowing context-specific environmental variables and spatial scales to nuance selection responses. Models were developed for six isolated satellite populations (San Miguel, Crawford, Piñon Mesa, Dove Creek, Cerro Summit-Cimarron-Sims, and Poncha Pass) from use locations collected between 1991 and 2016 (see larger citation for map of population boundaries). For each population, models were developed at two life stages (breeding and summer) and at two hierarchical scales (landscape and patch). We used multi-scale and seasonal resource selection analyses to quantify relationships between environmental conditions and sites used by animals. These resource selection function models relied on spatial data describing habitat conditions at different spatial scales, where environmental conditions differ, and habitat selection occur at different spatial scales for different available resources.

Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2018 Site 0530 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 398 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 2018 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. Four previous assessments have been conducted (2005, 2008, 2012, and 2015/2016). Once the program creates enough data points for statistical analyses, these data will be used for land area change rate calculation.

Thickness of Holocene sediment within the inner shelf of Long Bay (Grid; sedthick_grd)

In 1999, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in partnership with the South Carolina Sea Grant Consortium, began a study to investigate processes affecting shoreline change along the northern coast of South Carolina, focusing on the Grand Strand region. Previous work along the U.S. Atlantic coast shows that the structure and composition of older geologic strata located seaward of the coast heavily influences the coastal behavior of areas with limited sediment supply, such as the Grand Strand. By defining this geologic framework and identifying the transport pathways and sinks of sediment, geoscientists are developing conceptual models of the present-day physical processes shaping the South Carolina coast. The primary objectives of this research effort are: 1) to provide a regional synthesis of the shallow geologic framework underlying the coastal upland, shoreface and inner continental shelf, and define its role in coastal evolution and modern beach behavior; 2) to identify and model the physical processes affecting coastal ocean circulation and sediment transport, and to define their role in shaping the modern shoreline; and 3) to identify sediment sources and transport pathways; leading to construction of a regional sediment budget.

Airborne geophysical survey: North Park

Aeromagnetic data were collected along flight lines by instruments in an aircraft that recorded magnetic-field values and locations. In the earlier days of surveying, the only way to represent this data was to generate an analog map with contour lines. This dataset is a representation of the digitized contour lines either by following the lines or by choosing the intersection of the contour and flight-line to create a value of the magnetic field. The values presented are latitude, longitude, and map magnetic-field values.

National Assessment of Oil and Gas Project - Powder River Basin Province (033) Boundary

The USGS Central Region Energy Team assesses oil and gas resources of the United States.  The onshore and State water areas of the United States comprise 71 provinces.  Within these provinces, Total Petroleum Systems are defined and Assessment Units are defined and assessed.  Each of these provinces is defined geologically, and most province boundaries are defined by major geologic changes.  
The Powder River Basin Province is located in northeast Wyoming and southeast Montana with some assessment units extending beyond the existing province boundary into small areas of southwest South Dakota and northwest Nebraska.  The province encompasses all or parts of Big Horn, Campbell, Carter, Converse, Crook, Custer, Fall River, Fallon, Johnson, Natrona, Niobrara, Powder River, Rosebud, Sheridan, Sioux, Treasure, Weston, and Yellowstone counties in the states listed above. Main population centers (greater than 15,000 residents) within the study area are Casper and Gillette, Wyoming.  Interstate 90 generally traverses the province from east to west while I-25 runs north to south.  The province boundary was drawn to include the geologic structures generally considered to be in or bounding the Powder River Basin along with some political boundaries as guides.
