Depth grids of the flood-inundation maps for the Patoka River in and near Jasper, southwestern Indiana

Digital flood-inundation maps for a 9.5-mile reach of the Patoka River in and near the city of Jasper, southwestern Indiana, from the streamgage near County Road North 175 East, downstream to State Road 162, were created by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Indiana Department of Transportation. The flood-inundation maps, which can be accessed through the USGS Flood Inundation Mapping Science Web site at http://water.usgs.gov/osw/flood_inundation/, depict estimates of the areal extent and depth of flooding corresponding to selected water levels (stages) at the USGS streamgage Patoka River at Jasper, Indiana (station number 03375500). The Patoka streamgage is located at the upstream end of the 9.5 mile river reach. Near-real-time stages at this streamgage may be obtained from the USGS National Water Information System at http://waterdata.usgs.gov/ or the National Weather Service Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service at http://water.weather.gov/ahps/, although flood forecasts or the stages for action and minor, moderate, and major flood stages are not currently (2017) available at this site (JPRI3).
Flood profiles were computed for the stream reach by means of a one-dimensional step-backwater model. The hydraulic model was calibrated by using the most current stage-discharge relation at the Patoka River at Jasper, Ind., streamgage and the documented high-water marks from the flood of April 30, 2017. The calibrated hydraulic model was then used to compute 5 water-surface profiles for flood stages referenced to the streamgage datum and ranging from 15 feet, or near bankfull, to 19 feet. The simulated water-surface profiles were then combined with a Geographic Information System digital elevation model (derived from light detection and ranging [lidar] data having a 0.98-foot vertical accuracy and 4.9-foot horizontal resolution) to delineate the area flooded at each water level.

The use of Continuous Resistivity Profiling to Evaluate Geomorphologic Controls on Aquifer Recharge in the Mississippi Alluvial Plain from Money to Steiner, Mississippi, August 2016 to November 2016

This content represents a map displaying the vector data corresponding to the processed datasets for the capacitively coupled resistivity profiling surveys across the Mississippi Alluvial Plain. The .sd file is an ESRI service definition file containing all the data (compatible for use in ESRI ArcDesktop).  This file contains the shapefile representing data from the entire study area.  These are all displayed in the map service definition.  Users can also download the .sd file and extract the content (using 7zip, WinZip, or similar products) on their local machine to obtain the stand-alone shapefile. 
In cooperation with more than 10 local, State, and Federal stakeholders, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) is studying the aquifer systems in and near the Mississippi River alluvial plain (https://www2.usgs.gov/water/lowermississippigulf/map/index.html). This data release consists of continuous resistivity profiling (CRP) data collected by the USGS to characterize the electrical properties of geomorphological features in the part of the Mississippi River alluvial plain from Money, Miss. to Steiner, Miss. A total of 68 kilometers of multiple CRP profiles were obtained. The CRP data were collected by using the Ohmmapper TR-5 system (Geometrics, Inc., 2016) to determine if different geomorphological features in the study could be identified. Drilling logs from nearby boreholes were used to confirm if apparent changes in lithology correlated positively with apparent changes in resistivity profiles.

Groundwater-quality data in the Mokelumne, Cosumnes, and American River Watersheds Shallow Aquifer Study Unit, 2016-2017: Tables

The U.S. Geological Survey collected groundwater samples from 67 wells and 1 spring used for domestic and small system drinking water supplies in Placer, El Dorado, Amador, and Calaveras Counties, California in 2016-2017. The sites were sampled for the Mokelumne, Cosumnes, and American River Watersheds (MCAW) Shallow Aquifer Study Unit of the California State Water Resources Control Board Groundwater Ambient Monitoring and Assessment (GAMA) Program Priority Basin Project’s assessment of the quality of groundwater resources used for domestic and small system drinking water supplies. Domestic and small-system wells commonly are screened at shallower depths than public-supply wells. The MCAW study unit covered the parts of the Upper Mokelumne, Upper Cosumnes, and South and North Fork American River watersheds [8-digit hydrologic unit codes (HUC8) 18040012, 18040013, 18020129, and 18020128] in the Sierra Nevada hydrogeologic province. Wells in the MCAW study unit generally tap hard-rock aquifer systems composed of volcanic, granitic, or metamorphic rocks. The study unit was divided into equal area grid cells and one well or spring was sampled in each cell. Groundwater samples were analyzed for field water-quality parameters, volatile organic compounds, pesticides and pesticide degradates, nutrients, major ions and trace elements, hexavalent chromium, perchlorate, gross alpha and gross beta particle activities, tritium, carbon-14 in dissolved inorganic carbon, stable isotopic ratios of water and dissolved nitrate, and microbial indicators.

Wells sampled for groundwater-age dating in New Hanover County, North Carolina

Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is a trace atmospheric gas that is primarily of anthropogenic origin but also occurs naturally in fluid inclusions in some minerals and igneous rocks, and in some volcanic and igneous fluids. SF6 has been used as a dating tool of groundwater because atmospheric concentrations of SF6 are expected to continue increasing (Busenberg and Plummer, 1997). SF6 samples were collected in 30 wells in New Hanover County, North Carolina in May 2017. The results of these samples were input into a spreadsheet calculator developed by the USGS Groundwater Dating lab in order to estimate groundwater age based on SF6 concentrations. The wells sampled include monitoring, domestic, and large water user wells within the surficial, Castle Hayne, and Peedee aquifers.

Fish collection and hydrological data for oxbows in western Iowa

The data set associated with this metadata is included in three separate csv files: 'Occupancy_Data', 'Stage_Raw', and 'Flood_Stage_Height'. 
'Occupancy_Data' was used to fit the dynamic occupancy models and includes 17 columns: Time: time periods numbered 1 to 5; 'Oxbow': individual oxbows numbered 1 through 10; 'OxbowName': the name of each oxbow; 'Species': species encountered during sampling, numbered 1 to 16; 'SpeciesName': common and scientific names for each species; 'Occ1', 'Occ2', 'Occ3': detection (1) and non-detection data for each Time, Oxbow, Species combination across 3 survey occasions (NAs represent surveys that did not occur); Binary-coded life history characteristics (traits) for each species: 'Intolerant', 'Tolerant', 'Riverine', and 'Lacustrine'; 'MeanRelativeStage': the mean relative stage height for each oxbow during each of five time periods; 'StMeanReleativeStage' a standardized version of MeanRelativeStage (MeanRealtiveStage-mean(MeanRelativeStage)/sd(MeanRelativeStage)); 'Connect': a binary variable indicating that the stage height in each oxbow exceeded the flood stage between time intervals, resulting in a connection event to the adjacent river (1 = yes, 0 = no); 'PresStream': a binary variable indicating whether each species was detected in each oxbow's paired stream during each time period, where NA indicates samples that did not occur; and 'PredPres': a binary variable indicating whether at least one predator species was detected in each oxbow's paired stream during each time period. Note that the Bayesian dynamic occupancy model was parameterized such that the site- and year- specific covariates associated with relative stage height and connection events during time 1 were ignored by the model, and covariate data for time periods 2-5 represented the values of these covariates during intervals 1 (time between periods 1 and 2), 2 (time between periods 2 and 3), 3 (time between periods 3 and 4), and 4 (time between periods 4 and 5).  
'Stage_Raw' contains stage height time series data for each oxbow and was used to summarize stage height conditions in each oxbow between each of the five time periods in this study. Note that oxbows B1 and H4 were excluded from the occupancy analysis because fish were never present in these oxbows.  
'Flood_Stage_Height' contains oxbow-specific information including names ('Oxbow' and 'Oxbow_Name') and the stage at which each oxbow connected to its adjacent stream, 'Flood_Stage_Height'. Site coordinates ('UTM_Easting' and 'UTM Northing') are available but have been omitted because of the sensitive nature of site locations due to private property considerations and because a federally listed species is present at some locations.

Annual Streamflow Sensitivity to Air Temperature for 2,673 Gaged River Basins Worldwide

This is the second of two datasets containing derived data necessary to reproduce the results of the associated journal article: "On the Sensitivity of Annual Streamflow to Air Temperature," intended for publication in Water Resources Research. The first dataset contains monthly time series of basin-mean precipitation, air temperature, and net radiation, along with basin characteristics. This second dataset, using the first as input, contains empirical and theoretical estimates of annual streamflow sensitivities to precipitation, temperature, and previous-year streamflow. For each basin, a water year was defined by optimization of a streamflow regression against precipitation, temperature, and previous-year streamflow; all variables in the regression were detrended, normalized (except in the case of temperature) anomalies. The coefficients from the optimal regression were the empirical sensitivities. Theoretical sensitivities were computed according to equations in the associated paper. Their computation required estimates of the sensitivities of annual net radiation to precipitation and temperature; these were estimated empirically by regression. Other variables used in the paper and included here are basic basin characteristics; long-term means of streamflow, precipitation, temperature, and net radiation; standard errors of estimation of the regression coefficients for streamflow and net radiation; monthly climatological means of net radiation and temperature; potential evapotranspiration; and adjusted precipitation amounts that make the basin means obey a common relation between aridity index and evapotranspiration ratio.

Braddock East camera locations and attitudes for low-altitude aerial images collected during unmanned aerial systems (UAS) flights over of the Lake Ontario shoreline in the vicinity of Braddock Bay, New York in July 2017

Low-altitude (80-100 meters above ground level) digital images were obtained from a camera mounted on a 3DR Solo quadcopter, a small unmanned aerial system (UAS), in three locations along the Lake Ontario shoreline in New York during July 2017. These data were collected to document and monitor effects of high lake levels, including shoreline erosion, inundation, and property damage in the vicinities of Braddock Bay, Sodus Bay, and Chimney Bluffs State Park, New York. This data release includes images tagged with locations determined from the UAS GPS; tables with updated estimates of camera positions and attitudes based on the photogrammetric reconstruction; tables listing locations of the base stations, ground control points, and transect points; geolocated, RGB-colored point clouds; orthomosaic images; and digital elevation models for each of the survey regions. Collection of these data was supported by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the State of New York Departments of State and Environmental Conservation, and the USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program and was conducted under USGS field activity number 2017-042-FA.

Data Release for Geologic Framework and Hydrogeology of the Rico Rico and Nogales 7.5â quadrangles, Upper Santa Cruz basin, Arizona, with 3-Dimensional hydrogeologic model

Rapid population growth and declining annual recharge to aquifers in the upper Santa Cruz basin area of southern Arizona, has increased the demand for additional groundwater resources.  This demand is predicted to escalate in the future due to higher temperatures, longer droughts, less aquifer recharge, and decreased river and stream base flow.  We conducted geologic studies to help evaluate and better understand groundwater resources in the basin.  Results of these studies are presented in this report, which summarizes the basin geologic framework and hydrogeology, and presents a 3-D hydrogeologic model for the Rio Rico and Nogales 7.5â quadrangles.  Three major hydrogeologic units are displayed in the 3-D model; a lower basement confining unit, consisting of Jurassic, Cretaceous, and Tertiary (Paleocene and Oligocene) rocks; a middle unit composed entirely of the Miocene Nogales Formation; and an upper unit consisting of late Miocene to Holocene surficial deposits.  The Nogales Formation and the Late Miocene to Holocene sediments are the main aquifers in the Santa Cruz basin.  The 3-D model integrates the hydrogeologic units and structural features to define the geometry, structure, and thickness of the aquifer system that provides water to Nogales and surrounding communities of southernmost Arizona.  The report includes an EarthVision 3D Viewer, consisting of software enabling viewing data interactively in three-dimensional space, in order to help understand the internal complexities of the basin geometry, structure, stratigraphy, and hydrology.  The 3-D model is a synthesis of geologic data from geologic maps, cross sections, and lithologic descriptions and interpretations, and geophysical data including gravity, magnetic data, and airborne electromagnetic data.

Concentrations of environmental DNA (eDNA) during sockeye salmon spawning in 2016, Hansen Creek, Alaska, USA

This dataset contains environmental DNA (eDNA) concentrations and spawning adult abundances for sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) in Hansen Creek, a small tributary in the Wood River watershed, southeast Alaska, USA. We took temporally- and spatially-replicated eDNA samples during the spawning period (mid-July through August), along with fish counts (live, naturally dead, and killed), dissolved oxygen (DO), discharge, and temperature data at each time of sampling. Samples were collected at each site before adults entered the stream, and then continued to be collected daily or every other day for the next three weeks.

Data for climate-related variation in plant peak biomass and growth phenology across Pacific Northwest tidal marshes

This data release is comprised of tidal marsh biomass data and spatial predictions of peak biomass and Julian day of peak biomass using data from the Landsat archive.  Aboveground biomass dry weight of mixed-species plots (25x50 cm) at a tidal marsh in Willapa Bay, Washington were used to establish a relationship between biomass and tasseled cap greeness (TCG).  The julian day of annual peak greenness and the value of annual peak greenness for 32 years at Bandon National Wildlife Refuge (NWR), Grays Harbor NWR, and Nisqually NWR was calculated by fitting a Gaussian function to the TCG values for a given year.  The value of each 30 meter pixel is the Julian day of maximum predicted TCG or the maximum predicted TCG. There are 32 layers in the raster, each corresponding to the the years 1984-2015 (layer 1 is 1984, layer 32 is 2015).
