Strontium isotope, amino acid, and fossil taxonomy data to aid in identifying instances of marine terrace reoccupation on Anacapa and San Miguel Islands, California, USA

In areas of low uplift rate on the Pacific Coast of North America, reoccupation of emergent marine terraces by later high-sea stands has been hypothesized to explain the existence of thermally anomalous faunas (mixtures of warm and cool species) of last interglacial age.  If uplift rates have been low for much of the Quaternary, it follows that higher (older) terraces should also show evidence of reoccupation.  Strontium isotope analyses of fossils from a high-elevation marine terrace on Anacapa Island, California yield a suite of ages ranging from ~2.4-2.3 Ma to ~1.4-1.5 Ma.  These results indicate that terrace reoccupation and fossil mixing on Anacapa Island could have taken place over several interglacial periods in the early Pleistocene.  Terrace reoccupation over this time period is likely a function of both a low uplift rate and the timing of orbital forcing of glacial-interglacial cycles.  Nearby San Miguel Island also has evidence of terrace reoccupation, with Sr-isotope ages of shells from several high-elevation terraces ranging from ~1.21-1.25 Ma to ~0.43-0.50 Ma. However, the frequency of terrace reoccupation was much lower than on Anacapa Island.  The uplift rate of San Miguel Island is higher than that of Anacapa Island and the terraces formed when glacial-interglacial cycles were longer.  The frequency of terrace reoccupation is controlled by the rate of tectonic uplift and the timing of orbital forcing of sea level change during glacial-interglacial cycles.

NANP1M.TIF - North Anacapa Passage sidescan sonar backscatter image in nearshore Benthic Habitat mapping Project S. California map Series. (UTM 10N, NAD83)

The sidescan sonar image of the nearshore seafloor (0 to 100 m water depths) of the North Anacapa Passage area was mosaicked from data collected in 2000. A Klein 2000 sidescan system was used for geophysical surveying. A Triton Elics Isis brand side-scan data recording system was used on the cruise.  The 1998 survey was navigated with a Leica Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) which provided a ship position with accuracy of 1-5 m in DGPS mode. At times during the cruise differential signal was interrupted. In non-differential mode, the receiver provided a position with 30-50 m accuracy. A KVH Industries Inc. azimuth digital gyro-compass provided ship headings with 0.5 degree accuracy. Navigation data were recorded using Yo-Nav (Gann, 1992). The sidescan fish was towed approximately 30 m above the seafloor. The distance of the fish behind the ship was not known during this survey and must be estimated when the data are processed in order to produce the sidescan image mosaics.  The resolution of the processed data mosaics is 0.2 m. The data are presented here at a resolution of 1 m. This is one of a collection of digital files of a geographic information system of spatially referenced data related to the USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program Nearshore Benthic Habitat Mapping Project. The sidescan data were processed using USGS MIPS sonar processing software (Chavez, 1984).  See &lt;http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/nearshorehab&gt; for more information about this data set.

MODFLOW-LGR2 groundwater-flow model used to delineate transient areas contributing recharge and zones of contribution to selected wells in southeastern Albuquerque, New Mexico

A three-dimensional groundwater-flow model of a 73.2 square mile area in southeastern Albuquerque, 
New Mexico was designed and coupled to a regional (parent) model of the Middle Rio Grande Basin 
with the local-grid refinement numerical code MODFLOW-LGR2. This fine-gridded local (child) model 
was designed to simulate the response of the aquifer to pumping stresses and simulate advective 
groundwater flow. The child model was calibrated by inverse modeling by nonlinear regression 
(UCODE_2005) for 1949 to 2013 conditions, the period for which observation data was most complete 
and reliable. The simulation period spanned from predevelopment to future conditions (1900 to 2050). 
As part of an effort to protect the source water to selected wells near contaminated groundwater, 
simulations of groundwater flow and particle tracking were used to delineate transient areas contributing 
recharge and zones of contribution for water withdrawals in 2013 and for a future pumping scenario 
in 2050. The USGS data release contains all the input and output files and source codes for the 
simulations described in the associated report: https//doi.org/10.3133/sir20195052.

Single-Beam Bathymetry Sounding Data of Charlotte Harbor and offshore Captiva Island, Florida (2003-2004) in XYZ format

Charlotte Harbor is America's 17th largest and Florida's second largest open water estuary. It has a broad barrier island chain, large parts of which are in public ownership; its mangrove shoreline is largely intact and in public management. Regardless, the Charlotte Harbor Watershed is under significant development pressure with potential impact on storm water run-off characteristics, salinity patterns and temporal variations within the harbor, and nutrient and turbidity levels. The Harbor itself is particularly vulnerable to future degradation and therefore needs significant and sustained investment in water resource restoration.
The USGS, in cooperation with South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), performed a bathymetric survey of the lower portion of Charlotte Harbor, Pine Island Sound, and offshore of Little Gaspiralla Island to Captiva Island using a single beam hydrographic system. High resolution, acoustic bathymetric surveying is a proven method to map ocean and bay floor elevations.
This report serves as an archive of processed single-beam bathymetry data that were collected in Charlotte Harbor and offshore Sanibel Island, Florida in 2003-2004. Geographic information system data products include a XYZ data, bathymetric contours, and USGS quadrangle map. Additional files include formal Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) metadata.

ElevMHW: Elevation adjusted to local mean high water: Edwin B. Forsythe NWR, NJ, 2014

Understanding how sea-level rise will affect coastal landforms and the species and habitats they support is critical for crafting approaches that balance the needs of humans and native species. Given this increasing need to forecast sea-level rise effects on barrier islands in the near and long terms, we are developing Bayesian networks to evaluate and to forecast the cascading effects of sea-level rise on shoreline change, barrier island state, and piping plover habitat availability. We use publicly available data products, such as lidar, orthophotography, and geomorphic feature sets derived from those, to extract metrics of barrier island characteristics at consistent sampling distances. The metrics are then incorporated into predictive models and the training data used to parameterize those models. This data release contains the extracted metrics of barrier island geomorphology and spatial data layers of habitat characteristics that are input to Bayesian networks for piping plover habitat availability and barrier island geomorphology. These datasets and models are being developed for sites along the northeastern coast of the United States. This work is one component of a larger research and management program that seeks to understand and sustain the ecological value, ecosystem services, and habitat suitability of beaches in the face of storm impacts, climate change, and sea-level rise.

High frame rate image sequence from the Tanana River, Alaska, July 24, 2019, for Particle Image Velocimetry

This data release consists of a sequence of optical images extracted from a high frame rate video and used to derive remotely sensed estimates of surface flow velocity via particle image velocimetry (PIV).  These data were acquired from the Tanana River near Nenana, Alaska, on July 24, 2019, along with field measurements of flow velocity used to assess the accuracy of image-derived velocity estimates.  The images were obtained using a Zenmuse X5 video camera deployed within a Meeker mount attached to the nose of a Robinson R44 helicopter.  The original video was recorded at 30 frames per second while the helicopter hovered in a fixed location approximately 600 m above the river, but the image sequence was extracted at a rate of 10 frames per second (10 Hz). The original images were not geo-referenced and had to be stabilized to account for motion of the helicopter platform during acquisition.  Image stabilization was performed using the TrakEM2 plugin to the ImageJ software package.  The stablized image sequence was then geo-referenced in the Global Mapper software package using tie points selected from an online satellite image accessed through Global Mapper as well as surveyed ground control targets placed in the field and visible within the images.  A spatial transformation based on these tie points and control points was derived in MATLAB and then applied to the images to project them into the UTM Zone 6N, NAD83 coordinate system.  The resulting geo-referenced images had a spatial resolution (pixel size) of 0.15 m and effectively stabilized the image sequence prior to PIV analysis.  The images were converted to grayscale and saved as TIF files with corresponding world files (*.tfw) that contain the spatial referencing information for each image.  The sequence consists of 685 individual images representing over one minute of data collection.  The entire sequnce of TIF images and worldfiles is contained within a zip archive.

Precipitation Data Grizzly Creek Burn Perimeter

This data release contains all of the available raw rainfall data from the Grizzly Creek Fire perimeter from September 2020 through September 2022. The csv files here are organized by the station name and followed by the year of the data. The locations of the stations are available in the file named (4_Gauge_Location.csv) in the parent data release. The rain gauge data were obtained using two different methods. The gauges named: ‘USGS_’ are non-telemetered gauges and each timestamp represents a bucket tip. The columns in each csv for these gauges includes an Index, Date Time, Name, Serial Number, and Tipping Bucket depth (in units of millmeters).  Gauges GCCC2, GCDC2, GCEC2, GCFC2, GCIC2, GCNC2, GCTC2 were operated by the U.S.Geological Survey Colorado Water Science Center (USGS COWSC), and provisional data from these gages were obtained remotely via telemetry. Gauge TT394 was operated by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM),  and provisional data from this gage was obtained remotely via telemetry. The USGS COWSC and BLM data have three columns: Date_Time, precip_intervals_set_1d (the depth in millimeters at a timestamp), and precip_accumulated_set_1d (the total accumulated rainfall depth in millimeters). Note that in some cases the data are discontinuous. One rain gauge, Bair Ranch, was operated by the Colorado Department of Transportation in 2021. These data are broken up into different files due to long data discontinuities. The naming format is: Bair_Ranch_start_YYYYMMDD_endYYYYMMDD, indicating the starting and ending year (YYYY), month (MM), and day (DD). These data have two columns Date/Time and 6hr Accum (inches of precipitation in 6 hours).
