Magnetotelluric sounding data, station 23, San Luis Valley, Colorado, 2007

This dataset includes the magnetotelluric (MT) sounding data collected in 2007 in and near the San Luis Valley, Colorado. The U.S. Geological Survey conducted a series of multidisciplinary studies, including MT surveys, in the San Luis Valley to improve understanding of the hydrogeology of the Santa Fe Group and the nature of the sedimentary deposits comprising the principal groundwater aquifers of the Rio Grande rift. The shallow unconfined and the deeper confined Santa Fe Group aquifers in the San Luis Basin are the main sources of municipal water for the region. The population of the San Luis Valley region is growing rapidly and water shortfalls could have serious consequences. Future growth and land management in the region depend on accurate assessment and protection of the region's groundwater resources.

Orthoimagery of Big Pine Ledge, Florida, 2021

A seabed orthoimage was developed from underwater images collected at Big Pine Ledge, Florida, in July 2021 using the SQUID-5 camera system. The underwater images were processed using Structure-from-Motion (SfM) photogrammetry techniques. The orthoimage covers a rectangular area of seafloor approximately 650x120 meters (0.078 square kilometers) in size. It was created using image-averaging methods and saved as a tiled GeoTIFF raster at 5-millimeter resolution.

Data release for an experimental translocation of invasive bigheaded carps and upstream passage success at a navigation lock

This dataset accompanies the article "Upstream experience and experimental translocation of invasive bigheaded carps results in increased upstream passage success at a navigation lock in a large river". The data come from the experimental capture and tagging of invasive bigheaded carp with acoustic transmitters and physically moving some groups farther downstream. These transmitters emit signals that are detected and recorded on receivers that are strategically placed above, within, and below Mississippi River Lock and Dam 19 (LD 19). Once the data from the receivers were downloaded, we could show when successful upstream passage through LD19 occurs and compare the origin of the fish and the physical characteristics recorded at the time of tagging. The shipping industry and barge movement data were also included in summaries to evaluate how traffic around these navigation barriers may be preventing or assisting fish movements. To ensure data were being collected with confidence, periodic field testing of the acoustic receiver were performed and included in the final study materials.

Survey of velocity at cross sections in the Des Plaines River near Brandon Road Lock and Dam, Joliet, Illinois (October 20, 2015)

These data were collected using a 1200 kHz TRDI Rio Grande acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) in mode 12 with 25 centimeter bins from a moving boat.  The data were georeferenced with a Hemisphere V102 differential Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver with submeter accuracy.  The data were processed in the Velocity Mapping Toolbox (Parsons and others, 2013) to obtain a mean velocity field for each cross section from individual transects at each cross section.  These data were collected in support of the US Army Corps of Engineers Great Lakes and Mississippi River Interbasin Study (GLMRIS), and were concurrent with a dye-tracing study.  NOTE: Any data assigned a value of "-9999" are invalid or missing data and should not be used for analysis.

Wetland Habitat Structure Maps for the Central Valley of California 2013-2017

We produced a time series of maps of habitat structure within wetlands of the Central Valley of California. The structure of open water and tall emergent vegetation, such as Typha spp. and Schoenoplectus spp., is critical for migratory birds. Through field observation and digitization of high resolution imagery we identified the locations of tall emergent vegetation, water, and other land cover. Using a random forest classification, we classified multispectral Landsat 8 imagery 2013-2017. We used images from the fall when most wetlands are flooded and the summer to separate trees and tall emergent vegetation. The final maps show the distribution and extent of tall emergent vegetation within wetlands. Final time series has two products: the basic map which contains the tall emergent vegetation, water, and other, and the mixed map which the water and other classes are the same as the basic and the tall emergent class is broken into mixed (tall emergent 50-74%), tall emergent (&gt;75%).

MODFLOW-2005 with SWI2 used to evaluate the water-table response to sea-level rise and change in recharge, Sandy Hook Unit, Gateway National Recreation Area, New Jersey

A MODFLOW-2005 model, using the SWI2 package, was developed for the Sandy Hook Unit, 
Gateway National Recreation Area (hereafter Sandy Hook) in New Jersey to evaluate the 
response of groundwater resources to expected sea-level rise (SLR) and changes in 
groundwater recharge associated with global climate change. The National Park Service (NPS), 
among other agencies, is mandated to evaluate the effects of global climate change on NPS 
parks and promote resiliency and sustainability of park resources to the extent possible. Sandy 
Hook is visited by thousands of people each year who take advantage of the historical and natural 
resources and recreational opportunities which are threatened by global climate change, including 
SLR, changes in precipitation and groundwater recharge, and changes in the frequency and 
severity of coastal storms.  Fresh groundwater resources are important to the ecosystems of 
Sandy Hook.  The Bayside Holly Forest, one of only two known old-growth American holly 
(Ilex opaca) maritime forests, is particularly vulnerable to global climate change because of the 
proximity of the water table to land surface in low-lying areas and the potential for saltwater 
intrusion and inundation.  Groundwater-flow simulations completed for this study include a 
Baseline scenario, three SLR scenarios (0.2, 0.4, and 0.6 meters [m]),  two Recharge 
scenarios—a 10-percent Increased Recharge scenario and a 10-percent Decreased Recharge 
scenario—and a scenario with 0.6 m of SLR and 10-percent increase in recharge.  Understanding 
the possible effects of SLR and changes in recharge will allow the NPS to allocate scarce 
resources to best prepare for and manage climate-change-driven changes in the groundwater 
system and the subsequent effects on park ecosystems. This USGS data release contains 
all of the input and output files for the simulations described in the associated model 
documentation report (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20205080).

Analysis of Escherichia coli, total recoverable iron, and dissolved selenium concentrations and loads for selected 303(d) listed segments in the Grand Valley, western Colorado, 1980–2018 (ver. 3.0, August 2021)

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Grand Valley Drainage District and the Colorado Water Conservation Board, conducted a loading analysis for selected constituents and tributaries to the Colorado River in the Grand Valley, western Colorado, using data from 1991 to 2018, to characterize concentrations, stream loading, and load reductions for Escherichia coli, total recoverable iron, and dissolved selenium for stream segments on the State of Colorado 303(d) list of impaired waters. Escherichia coli, total recoverable iron, and dissolved selenium concentrations and streamflow data were compiled from the Water Quality Portal (WQP). The data were submitted to the WQP by the USGS, Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), and Colorado River Watch. The data tables include information on sites, data collection time periods, concentrations, computed loads, and regression model diagnostics. Dissolved selenium annual loads, percentage load reductions required to meet State regulatory standards, mean daily loads computed for irrigation and nonirrigation seasons, and regression model diagnostics and results are presented for tributary sites where sufficient data were available.
This data  release was revised in 2021 with the addition of folder "Datarelease_inputandoutput zip." Included in this folder are the (1) Load Estimator (LOADEST) regression model used to estimate daily mean dissolved selenium concentrations and loads for water year 2003 for a 303(d) listed segment represented by the site Lewis Wash near Grand Junction, Grand Valley, western Colorado and the (2) Weighted Regressions on Time, Discharge, and Season regression models used to characterize dissolved selenium conditions in the Grand Valley, western Colorado, from 1980 to 2018 at selected main-stem sites.

Drone imagery for CRMS Site 0224 (Orthomosaic)

South Louisiana's continued land-loss due to erosion and subsidence is a constant process and demands attention through restoration and mitigation efforts.  Data is needed to determine elevation and vegetation related to subsidence, climate change and saltwater intrusion.  This information is critical to our partners for continued monitoring of marsh in degrading landscapes.  Whether from subsidence, erosion or other factors, changing sediments are having detrimental effects on the marsh landscape.  Providing imagery and digital surface models will help researchers correlate other datasets to determine factors contributing to marsh changes.

Photograph index, camera settings, and locational information for images used to count Red-footed Boobies (Sula sula) nesting at Kīlauea Point National Wildlife Refuge, Kauaʻi, in 2019

During 13-18 May, 2019, we censused red-footed boobies (Sula sula) at Kīlauea Point National Wildlife Refuge (KPNWR), Kauaʻi. To evaluate ground-based visual counts and assess variability among methods, we employed photographic techniques to count nesting red-footed boobies at KPNWR in three distinct sub-colony areas: Crater Hill East, Crater Hill Interior, and Crater Hill West (see associated data series report for delineation of sub-colony areas). For ground-based photos, we used a Sony a7rii camera (42 megapixel full-frame) equipped with a Sony 100-400mm F4.5-5.6G lens to allow sufficient resolution to count nests and birds. We achieved pixel resolutions (as a function of camera resolution, focal length, and distance to birds) of 0.28-0.91 cm pixel-1 for photos used for refuge-wide population estimates. In addition, photos of the one sub-colony (Crater Hill West) were taken at two focal lengths (100mm, 0.84-2.03 cm pixel-1; 300mm, 0.28-0.68 cm pixel-1) to test the effect of pixel resolution on nest counts. These photo sets were taken within 5 minutes of each other to minimize variability in numbers of roosting birds at the colony. Additionally, we collected oblique aerial photographs from a helicopter flying along the length, and just offshore, of red-footed booby nesting areas at KPNWR during the late morning on 13 May 2019. Aerial photographs were taken with a Canon 5DSr camera (51 megapixel full frame) equipped with a Canon EF USM 135-mm telephoto lens, resulting in pixel resolutions of 0.61-1.53 cm pixel-1. Both ground-based and aerial photos were taken with overlap between individual photos in each set so that observers could later ensure locational reference and complete counting without double-counting. GPS coordinates of the location from which photos were captured were recorded with a handheld GPS on the ground and from a GPS track recorded during flight for aerial photos. This table includes information for every photo used in analysis, including filename, relevant camera settings from exif information, and location from which photo was taken.
