Summary of proposed changes to geologic inputs for the U.S. National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) 2023, version 1.0

This data release documents proposed updates to geologic inputs (faults) for the upcoming 2023 National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM). This version (1.0) conveys differences between 2014 NSHM fault sources and those recently released in the earthquake geology inputs for the U.S. National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) 2023, version 1.0 data release by Hatem et al. (2021). A notable difference between the 2014 and 2023 datasets is that slip rates are provided at points for 2023 instead of generalized along the entire fault section length as in 2014; consequently, slip rates are not provided for fault sections in the draft 2023 dataset. Geospatial data (shapefile, kml and geojson) are provided in this data release with each fault distinguished as either “addition” for newly added faults, “revised” for faults that have undergone geometry changes, or “no change” for fault geometries that have remained the same as in the 2014 NSHM.

Grain-Size Analysis Data From Sediment Samples in Support of Oceanographic and Water-Quality Measurements in the Nearshore Zone of Matanzas Inlet, Florida, 2018

The interactions of waves and currents near an inlet influence sediment and alter sea-floor bedforms, especially during winter storms. As part of the Cross-Shore and Inlets Processes project to improve our understanding of cross-shore processes that control sediment budgets, the U.S. Geological Survey deployed instrumented platforms at two sites near Matanzas Inlet between January 24 and April 13, 2018. Matanzas Inlet is a natural, unmaintained inlet on the Florida Atlantic coast that is well suited for study of inlet and cross-shore processes. The study sites were offshore of the surf zone in a line perpendicular to the coast in water depth from 9 to 15 meters. An instrumented sea-floor platform was deployed at each site to measure ocean currents, wave motions, acoustic and optical backscatter, temperature, salinity, and pressure with an emphasis on quantifying the forcing for sediment transport and response near the seabed. Sonars mounted on the platform at the shallow site recorded how the sea-floor bedforms responded to forcing conditions. A surface buoy was deployed at each site; the larger buoy at the deeper site supported meteorological measurement of local atmospheric conditions during the study, and both buoys measured near-surface water temperature and salinity. Sediment samples were collected at the study sites to support these oceanographic and water-quality measurements, and grain size was analyzed for use in sediment transport models to compare predicted estimates of sediment resuspension and transport with observed estimates.  Grain-size results are presented in phi and μM units.

GAK_Q31.TIF - Gulf of Alaska U.S. EEZ GLORIA sidescan-sonar data mosaic (1 of 30) (LCC, 50 m, WGS84)

GLORIA data for the Gulf of Alaska Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) were acquired during five cruises over a four year period. The first cruise conducted in 1986 (F-1-86-GA) surveyed an area of the north-central mosaic area and covered an area of approximately 40,000 square kilometers (sq km). The second two cruises (F-8-88-AA, F-9-88-WG) were conducted in 1988. One of the 1988 cruises (F-8-88-AA) focused on a survey of the Aleutian Arc. The eastern most portion of that survey extended outside of the Aleutian Arc survey area and covered an area of approximately 52,000 square kilometers (sq km) of seafloor on the western edge of the Gulf of Alaska. The final two cruises (F-6-89-GA, F-7-89-EG) were completed in 1989. As in earlier EEZ reconnaissance surveys, the USGS utilized the GLORIA (Geological LOng-Range Inclined Asdic) sidescan-sonar system to complete the geologic mapping. The collected GLORIA data were processed and digitally mosaicked to produce continuous imagery of the seafloor. Thirty digital mosaics with a 50-meter pixel resolution were completed for the region.

Pesticide Water-Quality Data Associated with Arundo donax (Arundo Cane) Treatment on a Section of the Rio Grande in Webb County, Texas, 2020

Arundo donax (Arundo Cane) is an invasive perennial reed that can grow more than 30 feet tall and has become established in riparian zones along rivers throughout the southwestern United States. It grows in thick stands, readily displaces native riparian habitat, and provides no habitat or food for native species in the ecosystems it disrupts (McWilliams, 2004). The Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board (TSSWCB) has been directed to develop and implement a program to eradicate Arundo Cane along the entire 1,255 mile length of the Rio Grande in Texas (Texas Senate Bill 1734). The TSSWCB has been using an ecosystem-based approach that integrates the use of biological, chemical, mechanical, and cultural controls to manage Arundo cane along the Rio Grande. As part of this approach, the TSSWCB plans to use various herbicides.  
To develop a better understanding of water quality associated with the use of herbicides applied to Arundo Cane, the USGS, in cooperation with the TSSWCB, conducted two synoptic water-quality sampling events. Water-quality samples for each synoptic sampling event were collected at four sites along the Rio Grande in Webb County, Texas upstream from Laredo:
1. Upstream from the treatment area,
2. Along the reach near the center of the treatment area, 
3. Near the downstream limit of the treatment area, and
4. Downstream from the drainage area of the treatment reach.
One sample from each site was collected on July 7, 2020 prior to herbicide application (synoptic sampling event 1) to establish a baseline concentration of constituents. A second set of samples (synoptic sampling event 2) were collected on August 4, 2020 to determine constituent concentrations immediately following herbicide application.

Temperature and relative humidity data for leeward sites in the Luquillo Mountains, eastern Puerto Rico, 2015-2016

Air temperature and relative humidity (T/RH) sensors (Onset Computer Corp. model U23-002) were measured from June 2015 to August 2016 at 100-m elevation intervals, from ~600 to ~1000 m, along a southeast-northwest trending ridge in the Luquillo Experimental Forest (LEF), eastern Puerto Rico. The prevailing wind direction is most frequently east to east-northeast and occasionally east-southeast so these locations are on the leeward side of the mountains; the data are within the timeframe and complementary to those collected at sites on the windward mountain slope. The T/RH sensors were installed with a custom-made PVC housing that had shade panels while allowing open air flow (Bassiouni et al., Fig. 2b). This housing was mounted on tree trunks 1.5-1.8 m above the ground. Air temperature and relative humidity data were downloaded every 2-3 months. Because air temperature and humidity were affected by site visits, data for one hour after downloading were excluded from the dataset.

Estimated Monthly Water Use for Irrigation by 12-Digit Hydrologic Unit in the Conterminous United States for 2015

This data release contains the output of the Irrigation Water Use Estimation Disaggregation and Downscaling Model (IWUEDD) along with the scripts and data resources required to replicate the output results. The IWUEDD is used to estimate monthly irrigation withdrawals and consumptive use for each 12-digit hydrologic unit code (HUC 12) subwatershed in the conterminous United States. The HUC 12-level estimates are separated into groundwater (GW), surface water (SW), groundwater and surface water combined (TW), and consumptive use (CU). The IWUEDD developed monthly estimates by disaggregating and downscaling previously published annual county-level irrigation withdrawal and consumptive use data complied as part of the National Water Use Science Project, National Water Census as presented in U.S. Geological Survey data release, “Estimated use of water in the United States county-level data for 2015” (Dieter and others, 2018).

Water-level and pumping data, water-level models, and estimated hydraulic properties for the Paradox Valley alluvial aquifer in Montrose County, Colorado, 2013

Aquifer testing was conducted in the Paradox Valley alluvial aquifer in Montrose County, Colorado, including short-term (slug tests) and long-term (pumping tests) stresses on the hydrologic system to determine hydraulic properties of the aquifer. Slug tests were conducted at four wells in March 2013, with only one well producing data that could be interpreted using analytical solutions. In the other three slug tests, water-level displacement was not instantaneous and displayed substantial noise meaning that the analytical solutions could not be applied. Pumping tests were conducted in March through June of 2013 by initiation of pumping at seven production wells screened in the aquifer and observation of water-level displacement at six observation wells. Because pumping wells are close to one another, interference among wells may complicate analysis and interpretation of hydrologic properties. To evaluate pumping interferences, a statistical transfer-function-noise model approach was used to determine primary stresses within each observation well and to indicate which production well(s) produced the majority of the observed water-level displacement. Following application of the transfer-function-noise model, the water-level displacement and pumping data were used to analytically derive hydraulic properties of the aquifer. 
This data release contains data on water-level elevations and pumping through time, as well as model files for transfer-function-noise and analytical solutions used to derive hydraulic properties. Within the “data_release_v3_FINAL.zip” folder, the folder "AQTESOLV" contains plots and tabulated analytical solutions for slug testing. The folder "data" contains the pumping and water-level displacement data for all wells and a shape file of well locations. The folder "paradox_model_archive" contains the transfer-function-noise model inputs, outputs, and model code (subfolder “water_level_model”) and analytical hydraulic property model files and tabulated estimated hydraulic properties (subfolder “aquifer_parameter_analysis”). The folder "plots" contains a schematic of the wells and plots of water-level displacement through time at each location. The “Readme.txt” file contains a description of folder and file contents and instructions for running the water-level models and computation of hydraulic properties for the Paradox Valley alluvial aquifer.
U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) completed the aquifer testing in cooperation with the Bureau of Reclamation.
