Impervious Land Cover Raster Derived from the National Land Cover Dataset (NLCD) 2019 for South Carolina StreamStats

In cooperation with the South Carolina Department of Transportation, the U.S. Geological Survey prepared a geospatial raster dataset describing impervious surface in the SC StreamStats study area derived from the 30m resolution National Land Cover Dataset (NLCD) 2019. This layer, which covers the SC StreamStats study area, has been resampled from the source resolution to a scale of 30ft pixels and reprojected to the common projection of the other project data layers (SC State Plane NAD 1983 International Feet WKID 2273). It will be served as part of the SC StreamStats application (https://streamstats.usgs.gov) to describe delineated watersheds. The StreamStats application provides access to spatial analytical tools that are useful for water-resources planning and management, and for engineering and design purposes. The map-based interface can be used to delineate watershed areas, get basin characteristics and estimates of flow statistics, and more.

Acoustic Doppler Current profiler (ADCP) field measurements of flow velocity and discharge from the Middle Channel of the St. Clair River delta, Michigan, collected May 2-4, 2022

Field measurements of flow velocity and discharge were acquired from the Middle Channel of the St. Clair River delta, Michigan, May 2-4, 2022. The velocity and discharge measurements included in this data release were obtained using a SonTek M9 acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) deployed from a boat with an outboard motor. River Surveyor Live software version 4.1. was used to acquire and store the ADCP files. The ADCP data were collected along 8 transects spanning the width of the Middle Channel; two passes across the channel were made at each transect. This data release provides text files derived from the raw ADCP data files using the Velocity Mapping Toolbox (VMT) software version 4.09. Text files with projected spatial coordinates, velocity components, and depth-averaged velocity magnitudes, were generated. The spatial location of each measurement was obtained using a Trimble 540AP Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver and real time network (RTN). The map projection and datum for these data are UTM Zone 17 N and NAD 83, respectively. This data release consists of a series comma-delimited (*.csv) text files. Each file consists of five columns: UTM_Easting, in meters, UTM_Northing, in meters, EastDAV, in m/s, and NorthDAV, in m/s and Velocity magnitude, in m/s. The first two columns are the easting and northing spatial coordinates, respectively. The third and fourth columns are the easting and northing components of the depth-averaged velocity magnitude in meters per second. The fifth column is the velocity magnitude in meters per second. An additional text file is included that provides the average discharge at the cross-section or mean of the two ADCP passes made at each transect. This field-based data set was used to determine the discharge of the Middle Channel of the St. Clair River delta and to provide depth-averaged velocities to inform hydraulic models.

One-second USGS Boulder (BOU) magnetic observatory data collected before 2013

The USGS Geomagnetism Program operates a network of magnetic observatories that collect vector and scalar magnetometer data for use in Earth main-field modeling, geophysics research, space physics research, and space weather hazard assessment and mitigation. Until mid-2011, only 1-minute time resolution magnetic field measurements were archived with the INTERMAGNET consortium following international magnetic observatory standards. 1-second time resolution magnetic field measurements, which had already been collected by all the USGS observatories for up to almost a decade prior, started being archived with INTERMAGNET on June 13, 2011, or July 27, 2012 in the case of the more recently constructed Deadhorse (DED) magnetic observatory. This data release contains 1-second time resolution magnetic field measurements collected up through the end of 2012, after which time 1-second data from USGS magnetic observatories may be obtained from INTERMAGNET. There is some overlap between data in this release and those data archived with INTERMAGNET. Any discrepancies that may exist between these two data sources should resolve in favor of INTERMAGNET.

Structure-from-Motion Products - Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge, Delaware - Digital Elevation Model: 2019

Aerial imagery was collected by a contractor using a fixed wing aircraft fitted with Post-Processing Kinematic (PPK) GPS, was processed using Structure-from-Motion (SfM) photogrammetry techniques to produce high-resolution orthomosaic images, three-dimensional (3D) point clouds and digital elevation models (DEMs). Surveyed Ground Control Points (GCPs) visible in the imagery are used to supplement the calculated elevation and PPK position data. This dataset, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) MD-DE-DC Water Science Center, consists of a point cloud generated from the survey of Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuges in Delaware in order to observe annual changes.
Structure-from-Motion software, Agisoft Metashape, was used to perform processing on low-altitude digital aerial imagery acquired by a contractor utilizing a fixed wing aircraft. The aircraft has been modified with a camera port fitted with a Sony A7R camera and equipped with a custom Post-Processing Kinematic GPS device. The surveys were conducted using temporary targets (black and white, 4-square checkered pattern), and pre-existing points (road markings) distributed throughout the flight operations area as GCPs. 
This dataset was produced using the 4D method of Structure-from-Motion, combining multiple years of images and GCPs into a single project to assist in alignment. Each year's chunk was then checked, cleaned, and exported individually. 
All horizontal data are referenced to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83 (2011)) UTM zone 18N, and elevation is referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) in meters, GEOID12B.

Arundo donax (Arundo Cane) Image Classification along the Rio Grande in Webb County, Texas, 2020–2021

This data release contains geospatial thematic (classified) images and vector (polygon) data derived from WorldView-3 satellite imagery. Imagey was obtained during 2020–21 along the Rio Grande in Webb County, Texas. The polygon data represent the area of interest (AOI) and the analysis study area (buffer zone that extends one mile east of the Rio Grande center line) on the U.S. side of the Mexico/United States border.
Arundo donax (Arundo cane, giant reed, or Carrizo cane), is an invasive bamboo-like perennial grass most common to riparian areas throughout the southwestern United States. Because it displaces native riparian vegetation, Arundo cane has greatly disrupted the health of riparian ecosystems in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico during the past 50 years. Arundo cane also has created border security problems along the Rio Grande as it grows in tall, thick stands that reduce visibility. In 2015-2016, the Texas State Legislature directed the Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board (TSSWCB) to “develop and implement a program to eradicate Carrizo cane along the Rio Grande” (Texas Senate Bill 1734). One of the ecosystem-based approaches implemented by TSSWCB was the use of imazapyr and glyphosate herbicides. To better understand the effects of the herbicide treatment on the targeted vegetation, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with TSSWCB, acquired high-resolution WorldView-3 Standard Imagery on 3 days to assess Arundo cane extent along the reach before, during, and after the herbicide treatment period (June 30, 2020, September 26, 2020, and May 07, 2021, respectively). Following a similar methodology described by Yang and others (2009), the assessment was completed by computing a maximum likelihood supervised classification on WorldView-3 imagery to estimate the areas covered by Arundo cane, water, and mixed cover on a one-mile buffer, east of the Rio Grande on the Texas side of the Mexico/United States border. Water-quality data associated with the herbicide treatment were collected from a segment of the Rio Grande in conjunction with the acquisition of the imagery data. The water-quality data are available in a separate USGS data release (Crow, 2021).

Raster map of CONUS forest change frequency from 1985-2020

We summarized annual remote sensing land cover classifications from the U.S. Geological Survey Land Cover Monitoring, Assessment, and Projection (LCMAP) annual time series to characterize forest change across the conterminous United States (CONUS) for the years 1985-2020. The raster output includes a map where each pixel is given an integer value based on the number of years in which it was classified as forest across the annual LCMAP time series. Values of 36 indicate the pixel was classified as forest across all years while a value of 0 indicates forests (tree cover) was never detected during the time series.

Summary Metadata for Preliminary reconnaissance inventory map data of landslides and related features, North Manitou Island, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Michigan

Pluvials can have dramatic impacts on the shoreline bluffs of Lake Michigan due to increases in both shallow subsurface moisture conditions related to the prolonged wet weather pattern and wave erosion as the lake level rises. These changes can result in an increased frequency and magnitude of slope failures. During the most recent pluvial, the monthly average level of Lake Michigan rose 1.9 m from a record low in January 2013 to a near record high in June-July 2020. To assess the impacts on coastal bluffs from slope failures during the recent pluvial, an inventory of landslides was completed, including slope failures active during the early part of the pluvial, on the coastal bluffs of North Manitou Island, part of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore in Michigan. Landslides were mapped using high-resolution orthoimagery, collected in April 2012, and high-resolution topography derived from a LiDAR data set, collected in December 2014.
This data release presents geographic information system (GIS) data, provided as line and polygon shapefiles (.shp), depicting landslides and related landforms and features. Polygon map data delineates the areas of deposits, source areas, and related landforms (such as alluvial fans and colluvial aprons). Scarps (such as headscarps and minor scarps) are presented as hachured line data. An attribute file is included providing a definition of the mapped units and a brief description of the approach used in the mapping.

Whiskey Island Caillou Lake Headlands restoration area 2016–2019 shorelines, Louisiana Barrier Island Comprehensive Monitoring Program

This data package includes a high-water shoreline position map and a structures map for each year from 2016–2019 for the Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) Caillou Lake Headlands project area (TE-0100), also known as Whiskey Island. The project created 170 acres of marsh habitat and 917 acres of dune and beach habitat on Whiskey Island in Terrebonne Parish using material dredged from Ship Shoal. For more information on this restoration project, see the project page on Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority’s (CPRA) Coastal Information Management System (http://cims.coastal.la.gov/outreach/projects/ProjectView?projID=TE-0100).   
Together with previous shoreline products developed for CPRA's Barrier Island Comprehensive Monitoring (BICM) Program Phase 2, this suite of Whiskey Island shoreline position maps spans the time period before, during, and after the restoration project was conducted. The shorelines were delineated primarily using linework from existing habitat classifications of Whiskey Island. Please see the Processing Steps sections of the individual metadata files for information on methodology for map development. 
The BICM Program, for which these maps were developed, uses both historical data and contemporary data collections to assess and monitor changes to barrier islands, and develops data products, including shoreline position maps. For more information about the BICM Program, see Kindinger and others (2013).

Genotypes and cluster definitions for a range-wide greater sage-grouse dataset collected 2005-2017

Monitoring change in genetic diversity in wildlife populations across multiple scales could facilitate prioritization of conservation efforts. We used microsatellite genotypes from 7,080 previously collected genetic samples from across the greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) range to develop a modelling framework for estimating genetic diversity within a recently developed hierarchically nested monitoring framework (clusters). The majority of these genetic samples (n=6560) were used in previous research (Oyler-McCance et al. 2014; Cross et. al 2018; Row et. al. 2018). Genetic diversity values associated with clusters across multiple scales could facilitate the identification of areas with low genetic diversity and inform the potential management or conservation priority and response. We also report the data used to define genetic diversity thresholds of conservation concern and a full reporting of the genetic diversity estimates associated with the evaluated clusters.
