Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2016 Site 0039 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 390 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 2016 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. Three previous assessments have been conducted (2005, 2008, and 2012). Once the program creates enough data points for statistical analyses, these data will be used for land area change rate calculation.

Histopathology of American kestrels (Falco sparverius) sequentially exposed to first and second generation anticoagulant rodenticides

This dataset describes histopathological changes in liver, kidney, heart, skeletal muscle and intestine of captive American kestrels sequentially exposed to first and second generation anticoagulant rodenticides (FGAR and SGAR). The goal of the study was to determine the toxicity of sequential exposure to anticoagulant rodenticides (ARs) by evaluating FGAR-FGAR exposure (7 day chlorophacinone exposure, 7 day recovery, than re-exposure) and SGAR-FGAR exposure (7 day brodifacoum, 7 day recovery, than 7 day exposure to chlorophacinone).  Birds were necropsied and examined grossly for hemorrhages or anemia, and liver, kidney, heart, skeletal muscle, and intestine was collected for histopathological evaluation. Tissues were scanned at at least 100x magnification and all lesions, including hemorrhage, inflammation, and degenerative changes, were described and assigned a morphologic diagnosis with severity, chronicity, and distribution as appropriate.

Grain-size data for sediment samples collected in Whiskeytown Lake, northern California, in 2018 and 2019

This data release includes grain-size data from sediment samples collected in submerged and subaerial regions in Whiskeytown Lake and around the reservoir margin. Sediment samples were collected using a sampler deployed from a boat or by hand from locations exposed above the water surface. Sediment grain size was analyzed at the USGS laboratory in Santa Cruz, Calif. The full data set is reported here, but users should be aware that due to instrument error the data between approximately grain sizes from 0.040 to 0.063 mm may be incorrect and have unknown degrees of uncertainty. Proportions of gravel, sand, silt, and ratios among these size fractions, are considered accurate.

Shapefile of Approximate Inland Extent of Saltwater at the Base of the Biscayne Aquifer in the Model Land Area of Miami-Dade County, Florida, 2016, Miami-Dade County, FL

This is a shapefile of approximate inland extent of saltwater at the base of the Biscayne Aquifer in the Model Land area of Miami-Dade County, Florida representing data collected in 2016. The inland extent of saltwater at the base of the Biscayne aquifer in the Model Land area of Miami-Dade County, Florida, was mapped in 2011. Since that time, the saltwater interface has continued to move inland. The interface is near several active well fields; therefore, an updated approximation of the inland extent of saltwater and an improved understanding of the rate of movement of the saltwater interface are necessary. A geographic information system was used to create a map using the data collected by the organizations that monitor water salinity in this area. A rate of saltwater interface movement of 140 meters per year was estimated by dividing the distance between two monitoring wells (TPGW-7L and Sec34-MW-02-FS) by the travel time. The travel time was determined by estimating the dates of arrival of the saltwater interface at the wells and computing the difference. This estimate assumes that the interface is traveling east to west between the two monitoring wells. Although monitoring is spatially limited in this area and some of the wells are not ideally designed for salinity monitoring, the monitoring network in this area is improving in quality and spatial distribution. The approximation of the inland extent of the saltwater interface and the estimated rate of movement of the interface are dependent on existing data. Improved estimations could be obtained by installing uniformly designed monitoring wells in systematic transects extending landward of the advancing saltwater interface.

An Unvegetated to Vegetated Ratio (UVVR) for coastal wetlands of the Gulf of Mexico Coast - 2002

Prior research has shown that sediment budgets, and therefore stability, of microtidal marsh complexes scale with areal unvegetated to vegetated marsh ratios (UVVR) suggesting these metrics are broadly applicable indicators of microtidal marsh vulnerability. This effort has developed the UVVR metric using readily available satellite imagery for the coastal areas of the contiguous United States (CONUS). These datasets provide annual averages of the 1) unvegetated fraction, 2) vegetated fraction, 3) water fraction and 4) an unvegetated to vegetated ratio (UVVR) at 30-meter resolution over the coastal areas of the contiguous United States for the year 2002. Additionally, multi-year average values of vegetated ratio, its standard deviation and a UVVR based on the annually-averaged vegetated ratio are provided for the coastal wetlands of the contiguous United States.

Data Layers for the Hawaiian Portion of Geospatial Fabric for the National Hydrologic Model

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) metadata record consists of 17 different spatial layers in GeoTIFF format for the Hawaii. They are: 1) average water capacity (awc.zip), 2) percent sand (sand.zip), 3) percent silt (silt.zip), 4) percent clay (clay.zip), 5)  soil texture (TEXT_PRMS.zip), 6)  land use/land cover (LULC.zip), 7)   snow values (snow.zip), 8)  summer rain values (SRain.zip), 9)  winter rain values (WRain.zip), 10)  leaf presence values (keep.zip), 11)  leaf loss values (loss.zip), 12) percent tree canopy (CNPY.zip), 13) percent impervious surface (imperv.zip), 14) snow depletion curve numbers (CV_INT.zip), 15) rooting depth (RootDepth.zip), 16) permeability values (Lithology_exp_Konly_Project.zip), and 17) water bodies.  All data cover the National Hydrologic Model's (NHM) version 1.1 Alaskan domain. The NHM is a modeling infrastructure consisting of three main parts: 1) an underlying geospatial fabric of modeling units (hydrologic response units and stream segments) with an associated parameter database, 2) a model input data archive, and 3) a repository of the physical model simulation code bases (Regan and others, 2014). The NHM has been used for a variety of applications since its initial development.The 250-meter (m) raster data sets for soils are derived from the OpenGeoHub's LandGIS data (Hengl, 2018).  The 30-meter raster of land use and land cover data are a simplified re-classification version of the North American Land-Change Monitoring System (NALCMS, Latifovic and others, 2012) data following the guidance and crosswalk table (CrossWalk.xslx) in Viger and Leavesley (2007). This layer was used to derive rasters representing dominant vegetative cover type, snow, summer and winter rain interception values, leaf cover and loss, and rooting depth. The impervious data was compiled from the Global Man-made Impervious Surface (GMIS) Dataset from Landsat, v1 (NASA, 2010). The tree canopy data was compiled from MOD44B MODIS/Terra Vegetation Continuous Fields Yearly L3 Global 250m SIN Grid V006, (Carroll and others, 2017). The snow depletion data was compiled from data by Liston and others (2009) and further processed using methods provided in a snow depletion table (SDC.xslx) by Sexstone and others (2020).  All file formats are in GeoTIFF (Geograhpic Tagged Imaged Format).

Chesapeake Bay River Input Monitoring Network 1985-2020: Short- and long-term trends

Nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended-sediment loads, and changes in loads, in major rivers across the Chesapeake Bay watershed have been calculated using monitoring data from the Chesapeake Bay River Input Monitoring (RIM) Network stations for the period 1985 through 2020. Nutrient and suspended-sediment loads and changes in loads were determined by applying a weighted regression approach called WRTDS (Weighted Regression on Time, Discharge, and Season). The load results represent the total mass of nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended sediment that was exported from each of the RIM watersheds. To determine the trend in loads, the regular annual load (non-Kalman) results are flow normalized to integrate out the year-to-year variability in river discharge. The trend in load is derived from the flow-normalized load timeseries and represents the change in load resulting from changes in sources, delays associated with storage or transport of historical inputs, and (or) implemented management actions.
