Airborne electromagnetic and magnetic survey, southwestern San Joaquin Valley near Lost Hills, California, 2016: Minimally processed electromagnetic and magnetic data

Airborne electromagnetic (AEM) and magnetic survey data were collected during October 2016 along 1,443 line kilometers in the southwestern San Joaquin Valley near Lost Hills, California. These data were collected in support of groundwater salinity mapping and hydrogeologic framework development as part of the U.S. Geological Survey California Oil, Gas, and Groundwater program and the California State Water Resources Control Board’s Program of Regional Monitoring of Water Quality in Areas of Oil and Gas Production. Data were acquired by SkyTEM ApS with the SkyTEM 312 time-domain helicopter-borne electromagnetic system together with a Geometrics G822A cesium vapor magnetometer. The survey was flown at a nominal flight height of 35 m above terrain along block-style lines with a nominal spacing of 150 to 300 m. The survey was designed to cover the region hydrogeologically downgradient and within 5 km of the Lost Hills, North Belridge, and South Belridge oil fields. Additional lines were extended to the west, east, and south for hydrogeologic context. The survey was flown at a nominal flight height of 35 m above terrain along block-style lines with a nominal spacing of 150 to 300 m. The AEM typical maximum depth of investigation is about 300 m.  The data provided includes minimally processed (raw) AEM data and unprocessed and processed magnetic data.  
Digital data from production flights are provided and described in the data dictionary.  The complete data package received from the contractor is included in separate zip-file directory and described in the contractor's report.

Probability of Streamflow Permanence (PROSPER) Model Output Layers, (ver. 2.0, February 2019)

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has developed the PRObability of Streamflow PERmanence (PROSPER) model, a GIS raster-based empirical model that provides streamflow permanence probabilities (probabilistic predictions) of a stream channel having year-round flow for any unregulated and minimally-impaired stream channel in the Pacific Northwest region, U.S. The model provides annual predictions for 2004-2016 at a 30-m spatial resolution based on monthly or annually updated values of climatic conditions and static physiographic variables associated with the upstream basin (Raw streamflow permanence probability rasters). Predictions correspond to pixels on the channel network consistent with the medium resolution National Hydrography Dataset channel network stream grid. Probabilities were converted to wet and dry streamflow permanence classes (Categorical wet/dry rasters) with an associated confidence (Threshold and confidence interval rasters).

Estimating the presence of paved surface parking lots in the conterminous U.S. from land-use coefficients for 1974, 1982, 1992, 2002, and 2012

Parking lots may be a significant source of pollution. Oil, sediments, and heavy metals may accumulate on their surface, then be flushed into rivers, streams, and lakes via rainfall. At present no dataset provides a mapping or estimation of parking lot area or locations nationwide.  This product consists of a time series of five national 60-meter raster datasets which estimate the proportion of each pixel represented by parking lots, based on land-use coefficients.  The rasters span the conterminous United States, for the years 1974, 1982, 1992, 2002, and 2012. The dataset was derived by calculating coefficients for 18 land-use types (Commercial, Industrial, Residential, Recreation, and so on) from the 2012 U.S. Geological Survey NAWQA Wall-to-wall Anthropogenic land-use Trends (NWALT) product.  The coefficients were calculated by comparing NWALT land-uses to 1-meter rasters representing detailed paved surface parking lot polygons available from six cities: Bloomington, IN; Chattanooga, TN; Denver, CO; Hartford, CT; Raleigh, NC; and St. Paul, MN.  The land-use classification overlying the largest amount of parking lot land areas was Commercial land (20.1% of land area), followed by Industrial land (19.6%), and Major Transportation (7.4%). The results were cross-validated against ground-truth data withheld from the calculations. The coefficients derived from the year 2012 data were then applied to the prior four years to create a time series.  The rasters provide a way to estimate percent parking lot area by watershed or other area of interest, over the last four decades.

Lidar derived shoreline for Sugar Creek Lake near Moberly, Missouri, 2018

Sugar Creek Lake is located approximately 4 miles northwest of Moberly, Missouri, in Randolph County, and has a full-pool surface area of approximately 330 acres. The lake primarily is used for recreation and drinking-water supply for the town of Moberly, Missouri. An earthen dam approximately 38-feet high and 1,125-feet long was constructed across the Sugar Creek valley in 1922. The elevation of the top of the dam is approximately 754 feet, with a 90-feet wide concrete spillway located near the right bank (west end) at an elevation of 746.8 feet. A previous bathymetric survey was completed in 2003. In cooperation with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, the U.S. Geological Survey resurveyed the bathymetry of the lake in September 2018 to provide data to update the area-capacity table and to compare the current bathymetric surface with the previous bathymetric surface. 
The shoreline was created from lidar derived 1/9 arc-second elevation data obtained from https://viewer.nationalmap.gov/basic/. The data are provided in the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) shapefile format and have the common root name of scl_shoreline. All files in the shapefile group must be retrieved to be useable.
Two bathymetric data sets are included: the gridded bathymetric point data (scl_bath.zip; computed on a 1.64-foot grid using the combined uncertainty and bathymetric estimator method) that was used as the source of points to create a bathymetric surface and the bathymetric quality-assurance data set (scl_qa_raw.zip) from 4 selected resurvey areas that was used as quality assurance data to test the accuracy of the gridded bathymetric point data.

Algal toxins and Mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis measured in surface-water, quarry-water, and sediment samples collected at Pipestone National Monument, Pipestone, Minnesota, 2018-19

The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the U.S. National Park Service, conducted a study to determine the presence of algal toxins and Mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis (MAP) within Pipestone National Monument located in Pipestone County in southwestern Minnesota. Three algal toxins (microcystins, saxitoxin, and anatoxin-a) were analyzed in 12 water-quality samples collected from 8 surface and 2 quarry-water sample sites by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods. Two of the three analyzed algal toxins (microcystins and anatoxin-a) were also analyzed using immunosorbent strip test methods. All analysis kits were provided by Abraxis Inc. (Warminister, Pa) and analyses were completed at the U.S. Geological Survey - Upper Midwest Water Science Center in Mounds View, Minnesota. MAP was analyzed in 16 water-quality samples and 8 sediment samples collected from 8 surface-water sample sites by multiple real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods at the Wisconsin Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in Madison, Wisconsin. These data are a part of a larger study and an associated report documented in the U.S. Geological Survey Investigations Report 2023-XXXX (http://doiXXXXXplaceholder).

Modeling the effects of future scenarios of urbanization and sea level rise on the Peninsular Florida Landscape Conservation Cooperative's conservation targets

Understanding how ecological and cultural resources may change in the future is an important component of conservation planning and for the implementation of long-term environmental monitoring. We modeled six future scenarios of urbanization and sea level rise to investigate their potential effects on the Peninsular Florida Landscape Conservation Cooperative's Priority Resources (PFLCC 2016), which were identified as important for conservation through a cooperative multi-partner effort to prioritize conservation efforts on a state-wide scale. These data represent conservation targets for the Coastal Uplands, High Pine and Scrub, and Freshwater Aquatics Priority Resources at present, and under six future scenarios of sea level rise and urbanization.

Hawaii Island Environmental Sampler Comparison 2016-2018

These data include metadata and associated data files associated with the manuscript, "Economical Environmental Sampler Designs for Detecting Airborne Spread of Fungi Responsible for Rapid Ohia Death." These data include a total of 8 datasets used for both controlled and field studies evaluating the use of Active (with battery operated fan) and Passive (dependent on wind) USGS Environmental Samplers on Hawaii Island between 2016-2018. Samplers were operated under controlled laboratory and field conditions with a commercial sampler (Rotorod Model 20) to compare efficacy in capturing synthetic polyethylene spheres (12 - 160 µm in diameter) and also Xyleborus spp. boring dust (frass) known to contain the fungi responsible for Rapid Ohia Death (Ceratocystis lukuohia and C. huliohia). Samplers were also tested at a field site with confirmed ROD mortality to demonstrate their ability to detect Ceratocystis DNA in beetle frass from infected trees and wood chips associated with tree felling under a range of environmental conditions. Data files consists of particle counts, particle measurements, and results of qPCR (quantitative polymerase chain reaction) tests to determine presence or absence of Ceratocystis DNA on tape strips that were exposed in samplers and tape strips that were spiked with known numbers of Ceratocystis spores to determine sensitivity of the methodology.

Cross-Section Geometry and Sediment-Size Distribution Data from Muddy Creek and North Fork Gunnison River below Paonia Reservoir, western Colorado, 2018

This dataset contains cross-section geometry and sediment-size distribution data collected in the fall of 2018 from Muddy Creek and North Fork Gunnison River below Paonia Reservoir, western Colorado. Six cross-sections were surveyed using Real-Time Kinematic Global Navigation Satellite System (RTK-GNSS) methods to document channel geometry below the reservoir in 2015. Those same cross-sections were re-surveyed using the same methods in 2018 to document any changes. One cross-section was surveyed on Muddy Creek below Paonia Reservoir, and five cross-sections were surveyed from North Fork Gunnison River below Paonia Reservoir. All six cross-sections are incorporated in this data release within one shapefile. Pebble counts were performed at each of the six cross-sections to document sediment-size distributions downstream from the reservoir. Four transects were located in the vicinity of each cross-section, where sediment size was measured and recorded. All of the sediment-size distribution data are presented in .CSV files, with one file for each cross-section location incorporating all of the data for each of the four transects at that location.
