Comparative Virulence of Spring Viremia of Carp Virus (SVCV) Genotypes in Two Koi Varieties

Spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV, species Carp sprivivirus), is considered one of the most lethal freshwater pathogens of cyprinid fish.  Common carp Cyprinus carpio L. and koi C. carpio koi are the most susceptible host fish species. The virus was formally described in the 1960's after outbreaks occurred in carp species on the European continent, but there has been a global expansion of SVCV primarily in Asia and North America. Genetic typing of the SVCV isolates separates them into four genogroups correlated with geographic origin: Ia (Asia), Ib and Ic (Eastern Europe), and Id (Central Europe).  In this study we compare the virulence of eight SVCV strains including representatives of each genogroup: Ia (20040741, 20070165, 20100910, and 20120450, and NC2002), Ib (RHV), Ic (P4-7), and Id (Fijan). These were tested in two koi varieties, Beni Kikokuryu; long fin semi-scaled fish and Sanke; short-fin fully scaled fish. Koi fry challenged by immersion were observed for mortality and assessed for infection. Mortality ranged from 4 to 82% and 0 to 94% in the Beni Kiko and Sanke koi breeds respectively. The five genotype Ia isolates of Asian origin had a wide range in virulence/mortality (0 to 94%). Single isolates representing the European genotypes Ib and Ic, or Id were moderately virulent (38 to 56%) or highly virulent respectively.  Each virus strain had similar levels of mortality in both koi breeds with the exception of high virulence SVCV Id strain, whose mortality rose from 60% in Beni Kiko koi to 87% in Sanke koi. Overall SVCV strain virulence appears to be a dominant factor in determining disease outcomes, whereas intraspecies variation, based on koi variety, has less of an impact. This is the first side-by-side virulence comparison of global SVCV strains representing each genogroup in an infected principal host species.

Heatmap visualizations of arsenic, cadmium, and copper concentrations in streambed sediment in the Clark Fork River, Montana, 1996-2020

Long-term monitoring of stream-bed sediments reveals spatial and temporal trends in metal concentrations. Here we use concentration gradient “heat maps” as a visualization tool to report annual mean arsenic, cadmium and copper concentrations along a contamination gradient in the Clark Fork River (CFR) in Western Montana. The CFR has been heavily impacted by large-scale mining operations since the 19th century. Legacy mine waste and tailings have been deposited within the streambed, banks, and floodplains more than 200 kilometers downstream. Sieved sediment samples (&lt;63µm) have been collected at 10 stations along a 200 kilometer contamination gradient annually since 1996. Ongoing remediation activities in the upper basin (60 Km) have reduced the tailings deposits along the flood plain and may account for the reduction of some metals in the upper stations. Arsenic concentrations ranged from 12-204 µg/g from 2003-2020. The highest concentrations were observed in 2003 at river Km 11 while the lowest concentrations in all years occurred in the most downstream reaches. Concentrations of cadmium (1996-2020) ranged from 1-11 µg/g with the highest in the most upstream reaches between 2000-2003. Temporal trends in copper (1996-2020) ranged from 125-2053 µg/g with the highest concentrations observed in the most upstream stations during the earlier years.

Aeromagnetic and aeroradiometric data acquired over parts of the Trans-Pecos region of West Texas and Southern New Mexico

The Trans-Pecos region of West Texas and Southern New Mexico contains a series of rare earth element (REE) enriched ~ 34-36 Ma intrusive rhyolites and syenites. One such intrusive in the Sierra Blanca Mountains, Texas, hosts the Round Top REE deposit which is one of the few REE deposits in the U.S. with an economic evaluation and is scheduled to go into production in 2025. In addition, Alkaline igneous rocks in the Cornudas and Hueco Mountains, both within the Trans-Pecos area, also show high concentration of REEs and other critical elements. In early 2021 an aeromagnetic and aeroradiometric survey was flown over the Trans-Pecos region with the following objectives: 1) Detect regional trends, fractures, or patterns that may be responsible for the locations of Tertiary alkaline intrusions; 2) Identify magma sources and plumbing systems for Tertiary alkaline intrusions; and 3) Identify potential concealed Tertiary alkaline intrusions. The survey was flown with a flight-line spacing of 200 m and survey flights were draped over topography at an average of approximately 125 m altitude. This data release contains the aeromagnetic and aeroradiometric data acquired by the survey and gridded images of parts of that data.
See the Sander Geophysics Ltd. Technical Report (Trans-Pecos Survey Technical Report.pdf) for detailed information about the survey.

Propensity of cold air drainage index and related variables

Cold air drainage down slopes may form cold air pools in valleys and surface depressions. These cold air pools can significantly affect ecosystem processes, agricultural crops, and air quality. Rupp et al. (2021, Theoretical and Applied Climatology, https://doi.org/10.1007/s00704-021-03712-y) proposed a propensity of cold air drainage index to represent the likelihood of occurrence of clear-sky nocturnal cold-air drainage. Using this index, they evaluated the potential response of cold air drainage to warming resulting from anthropogenic greenhouse gases, specifically CO2. This data release consists of the data displayed in the main text and supporting information figures of Rupp et al. (2021). The data include relative decreases in the propensity of cold air drainage index by 2100 CE with and without the direct effect of increased atmospheric CO2, effective CO2 emissivity, and the H2O-CO2 overlap correction needed to account for the overlap of H2O and CO2 spectral absorption bands. The methods used to create these data are described in Rupp et al. (2021).

Mores Creek Arm Bathymetric Survey, Lucky Peak Lake, Boise County, Idaho, May 11 - 13, 2021

In 2004, about 90 migrating elk drowned after attempting to cross thin ice on the Mores Creek arm of Lucky Peak Lake upstream of the Highway 21 bridge (Idaho Fish and Game, 2010). To better understand the depths over a range of reservoir pool elevations in the Mores Creek Arm, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Lucky Peak Power Plant Project, conducted high-resolution multibeam echosounder (MBES) bathymetric surveys on the Mores Creek arm on Lucky Peak Lake. The MBES data will assist reservoir managers and wildlife biologists with regulating reservoir water surface elevations (WSE) to support successful big game migration across Mores Creek on Lucky Peak Lake. Data collection provided nearly 100 percent coverage of bed elevations within the survey extent and are used to create a depth raster and contour map for select water surface elevations of 2,960 ft, 2,965 ft, 2,970 ft, 2,975 ft, and 2,980 ft.

Chesapeake Bay River Input Monitoring Network 1985-2020: WRTDS output data

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.

Data Release for PGV Data for the 2018 National Seismic Hazard Model for the Conterminous United States

Peak ground velocity (PGV) gridded probabilistic seismic hazard data for the updated 2018 National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) for the Conterminous United States (CONUS). PGV hazard curves and ground motions have been calculated on a 0.05 by 0.05 degree grid using the NSHM CONUS 2018 earthquake source model. PGV support has been incorporated into the NSHM using a newly developed PGV model conditioned on pseudo-spectral acceleration (Abrahamson and Bhasin, 2020, PEER Report No. 2020/05). See Powers et al. (in press) for implementation details. This dataset complements the "Data Release for Additional Period and Site Class Data for the 2018 National Seismic Hazard Model for the Conterminous United States (ver. 1.2, May 2021)" (https://doi.org/10.5066/P9RQMREV).

GIS, supplemental data table, and references for focus areas of potential domestic resources of 13 critical minerals in the United States and Puerto Rico—antimony, barite, beryllium, chromium, fluorspar, hafnium, helium, magnesium, manganese, potash, uranium, vanadium, and zirconium

In response to Executive Order 13817 of December 20, 2017, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) coordinated with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to identify 35 nonfuel minerals or mineral materials considered critical to the economic and national security of the United States (U.S.) (https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2018/1021/ofr20181021.pdf). Acquiring information on possible domestic sources of these critical minerals is the rationale for the USGS Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (Earth MRI). The program, which partners the USGS with State Geological Surveys, Federal agencies, and the private sector, aims to collect new geological, geophysical, and topographic (lidar) data in key areas of the U.S. to stimulate mineral exploration and production of critical minerals.
Phase 1 - rare earth elements (REE) - https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/ofr20191023A.
Phase 2 - aluminum, cobalt, graphite, lithium, niobium, platinum group elements (PGE), rare earth elements, tantalum, tin, titanium, and tungsten - https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/ofr20191023B.
Phase 3 (this report) - antimony, barite, beryllium, chromium, fluorspar, hafnium, helium, magnesium, manganese, potash, uranium, vanadium, and zirconium - https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/ofr20191023D.
The USGS has identified broad areas within the United States to target acquisition of geologic mapping, geophysical data, and (or) detailed topographic information to aid research, mineral exploration, and evaluation of mineral potential in these areas. Focus areas were defined using existing geologic data including data on known deposits in the United States. The focus areas are provided as geospatial data supported by tables that summarize what is known about the mineral potential and brief descriptions of data gaps that could be addressed by the Earth MRI program. A full discussion of Earth MRI and the rationale and methods used to develop the geospatial data are provided in the following report:

USGS Contributions to the Nevada Geothermal Machine Learning Project (DE-FOA-0001956): Slip and Dilation Tendency Data

This package contains data in a portion of northern Nevada, the extent of the ‘Nevada Machine Learning Project’ (DE-EE0008762). Slip tendency (TS) and dilation tendency (TD) were calculated for the all the faults in the Nevada ML study area. TS is the ratio between the shear components of the stress tensor and the normal components of the stress tensor acting on a fault plane. TD is the ratio of all the components of the stress tensor that are normal to a fault plane. Faults with higher TD are relatively more likely to dilate and host open, conductive fractures. Faults with higher TS are relatively more likely to slip, and these fractures may be propped open and conductive.
These values of TS and TD were used to update a map surface from the Nevada Geothermal Machine Learning Project (DE-FOA-0001956) that used less reliable estimates for TS and TD. The new map surface was generated using the same procedure as the old surface, just with the new TS and TD data values.

Zooplankton, Benthos, Mysis, and fish diet data from northern Lake Huron in 2012

These data consist of a multi-trophic, day vs. night, nearshore to offshore transect approach for data collection for this Cooperative Science and Monitoring Initiative effort at two northwestern Lake Huron sites near Hammond Bay and Thunder Bay, Michigan. Zooplankton and Mysis samples were collected monthly from April-October while benthos and prey fish samples were collected seasonally during Spring, Summer, and Fall. Invertebrate taxa (zooplankton, Mysis, benthic macroinvertebrates) were identified, enumerated, and measured using a dissecting microscope. Diet items of the prey fish were processed similarly to the other samples in terms of taxonomy. These data were used to calculate densities of fish prey items and compare that to what the fishes ate for selectivity analysis. The data are in raw form.

The 95th percentile of bottom shear stress for the Gulf of Maine south into the Middle Atlantic Bight, May 2010 to May 2011 (GMAINE_95th_perc.shp, Geographic, WGS 84)

The U.S. Geological Survey has been characterizing the regional variation in shear stress on the sea floor and sediment mobility through statistical descriptors.  The purpose of this project is to identify patterns in stress in order to inform habitat delineation or decisions for anthropogenic use of the continental shelf.  The statistical characterization spans the continental shelf from the coast to approximately 120 m water depth, at approximately 0.03 degree (2.5-3.75 km, depending on latitude) resolution.  Time-series of wave and circulation are created using numerical models, and near-bottom output of steady and oscillatory velocities and an estimate of bottom roughness are used to calculate a time-series of bottom shear stress at 1-hour intervals.  Statistical descriptions such as the median and 95th percentile, which are the output included with this database, are then calculated to create a two-dimensional picture of the regional patterns in shear stress.  In addition, time-series of stress are compared to critical stress values at select points calculated from observed surface sediment texture data to determine estimates of sea floor mobility.

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release contains strontium isotopic data from water and rock samples collected between 2000 and 2019 from the Mount Emmons area, central Colorado. The data include strontium isotopic compositions, 87Sr/86Sr, for surface- and groundwater samples collected from streams, springs, draining mines, piezometers, and drill holes and for leachates of rock samples collected from surface outcrops and drill core. Rock sample isotopic data are results from two-step leaching of samples from various lithologies within the study area. Drill core rock and water samples were collected from holes drilled in 2017 and 2018 as part of a U.S. Geological Survey and Department of Energy investigation of groundwater flowpaths in the Redwell basin. Complete water chemistry for samples analyzed in this study are presented in Johnson and others (2019). Whole-rock geochemical data for rock samples used in this study are published in Charnock and others (2022). Previously published strontium isotopic data from within the study area can be found in Manning and others (2008).
Data are reported in a comma-separated values (CSV) file that lists the samples that were analyzed, drill hole identification number and depth (if applicable), latitude/longitude location information, and brief sample descriptions. All column headings and abbreviations are explained in the accompanying metadata.
