Influence of Lithostatic Stress on Earthquake Stress Drops in North America

Earthquake stress drop is a critical parameter for estimating seismic hazard. This parameter can have a strong effect on ground motion amplitudes above ~1Hz and is especially important in Oklahoma and Kansas where earthquake rates have increased sharply since 2008. We estimate stress drops for 1121 earthquakes greater than ~M3 in and near the conterminous United States using spectral ratios between collocated events at given stations. We find that the average stress drop for the few eastern United States (EUS, 26–340 Bars) tectonic main shocks studied, which tend to be deeper thrusting events with few foreshocks and aftershocks, is about three times greater than tectonic main shocks in the western United States (WUS, 10–77 Bars), which tend to be shallower but have a wide range of focal mechanisms and moderate numbers of foreshocks and aftershocks, and six times greater than potentially induced main shocks in the central United States (CUS, 2–41 Bars), which tend to be shallow and strike-slip to normal faulting mechanisms with numerous foreshocks and aftershocks. With the possible exception of CUS aftershocks, we find that differences in stress drop among all events can be accounted for, within one standard deviation of significance, by differences in the shear failure stress for an average coefficient of friction of about 0.68. After correcting for fault style and depth dependence, we find an average stress drop of about 3% of the failure stress. These results suggest that high frequency shaking hazard (&gt; ~1 Hz) from potentially induced events and aftershocks is reduced to some extent by lower stress drop. However, these events tend to occur at shallower depths, which will increase hazard in the near field.

Interpretation of Sea Floor Features of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) H11320 Sidescan Sonar and Bathymetric Data from Rhode Island Sound (H11320INTERP)

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is working cooperatively with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to interpret the surficial geology in estuaries along the coast of the northeastern United States. The purpose of our present study is to define the sea floor morphology and sedimentary environments in an area of Rhode Island Sound using sidescan sonar imagery, multibeam bathymetry and seismic records. The mosaic, bathymetry, and their interpretations serve many purposes, including: (1) defining the geological variability of the sea floor, which is one of the primary controls of benthic habitat diversity; (2) improving our understanding of the processes that control the distribution and transport of bottom sediments and the distribution of benthic habitats and associated infaunal community structures; and (3) providing a detailed framework for future research, monitoring, and management activities. The sidescan sonar mosaics and bathymetry images also serve as base maps for subsequent sedimentological, geochemical, and biological observations, because precise information on environmental setting is important for selection of sampling sites and for accurate interpretations of point measures.

Data for Southern Sea Otter Range Expansion and Habitat Use in the Santa Barbara Channel

These data are .csv files of capture data from tagged sea otters in the Santa Barbara Channel Study. Sea otters were captured using highly specialized techniques employed by a team a rebreather divers and were processed by a shore team and veterinary crew at a mobile vet lab. Overall health assessments and morphometric data were collected, and the otters received colored flipper tags (for visual identification in the field) as well as VHF radio transmitter implants (for locating and "re-sighting" individuals) and time-depth recorder instruments (for archival logging of dive records and core body temperature for individual sea otters). Fields include an individual otter identification number, capture date, general location, specific location (lat/long), sex, age class, weight, length, age, date each otter was last seen, dates of re-capture, outcome of each individual otter by the end of the study, and birth date and outcome of each pup born during the study.

Data for Southern Sea Otter Range Expansion and Habitat Use in the Santa Barbara Channel

These data are .csv files of tagged sea otter re-sighting locations (henceforth, resights) collected in the field using a combination of VHF radio telemetry and direct observation using high powered (80x) telescopes. Sea otters were tracked by shore or boat-based observers from the date of tagging until the time of radio battery failure, the animal’s death, or the end of the project, whichever comes first. The frequency of re-sighting was opportunistic, depending on logistical factors such as coastal access, but generally ranged from daily to weekly. Location coordinates are reported latitude and longitude as well as X and Y coordinates in the projection/datum California Teale-Albers NAD 1927. The file contains resight data for all tagged sea otters in the Santa Barbara Channel Study, collected over a period of 2.5 years. Fields include individual identification numbers, sex, age class, geographic coordinates, the date and time of the re-sighting location, and associated behavioral state of the individual at the time of re-sighting.

Groundwater withdrawals from the Floridan aquifer system by county, 2010

Values represent groundwater withdrawals from the Floridan aquifer system for 2010 in the southeastern United States. Withdrawals were computed by multiplying the gross groundwater withdrawals for each county by a coefficient representing the proportion of total groundwater withdrawals coming from each aquifer. Coefficients for each county and water-use category were back-calculated from data published in Marella and Berndt, 2005, Water withdrawals and trends from the Floridan aquifer system in the southeastern United States, 1950–2000: U.S. Geological Survey Circular 1278, 20 p. and also from unpublished data from the U.S. Geological Survey South Atlantic Water Science Center (Georgia District).

Digital elevation models (DEMs) of the Elwha River delta, Washington, September 2010

This part of the data release presents a digital elevation model (DEM) derived from bathymetry and topography data of the Elwha River delta collected in September 2010. Two dams on the Elwha River, Washington State, USA trapped over 20 million m3 of sediment, reducing downstream sediment fluxes and contributing to erosion of the river's coastal delta. The removal of the Elwha and Glines Canyon dams between 2011 and 2014 induced massive increases in river sediment supply and provided an unprecedented opportunity to examine the response of a delta system to changes in sediment supply. The U.S. Geological Survey developed an integrated research program aimed at understanding the ecosystem responses following dam removal that included regular monitoring of coastal and nearshore bathymetry and topography. As part of this monitoring program, the USGS conducted a bathymetric and topographic survey in the Strait of Juan de Fuca on the Elwha River delta, Washington (USGS Field Activity Number W-03-10-PS). Bathymetry data were collected using a personal watercraft (PWC) and a small boat, each equipped with single-beam echosounders and survey-grade global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers. Topography data were collected on foot with GNSS receivers mounted on backpacks. DEM surfaces were produced from all available elevation data using linear interpolation.

Data and regression models describing biofilms and water quality in streams surrounding Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport, Milwaukee, Wisconsin  (2009-2014)

Heterotrophic biofilm growth is typical in streams receiving airport deicer runoff; however detailed studies of biofilms in this setting are rare.  Sample collection for this study was done during and surrounding two deicer seasons (i.e., 2009-2010 and 2010-2011), with additional sample collection occurring in 2014.  Field surveys were used to document biofilm prevalence and characteristics, as well as stream characteristics.  Collected biofilm samples were analyzed via microscopy, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), microarray, gas chromatography (of a cultured isolate), as well as via sequencing (Sanger and massively parallel).  Sequence data are provided elsewhere (as described in the larger citation).  Water-quality and quantity data were also collected in an attempt to assess relevant environmental conditions.  Water quality data included grab samples collected at the time of biofilm field surveys as well as flow-weighted composite samples that were collected throughout the study period at nearby stream gages.  Continuous streamflow and temperature were also collected at these gaged sites.  Additional sensors were deployed at non-gaged sites to measure water temperature at these sites.  Continuous temperature data were used to calculate antecedent characteristics for various time windows.  Dye tracer results allowed for the determination of flow-based times of travel between sites.  Taken together with flow composite sample data (at the downstream gage closest to the airport), this allowed for the calculation of estimated water quality characteristics at downstream sites as well as the subsequent calculation of antecedent water quality characteristics at all downstream sites.  Regression models were run to investigate the influence of environmental factors on biofilm volume and dissolved oxygen concentration.  Models were developed by ordinary least-squares regression using the R project for statistical computing with core functionality. Predictor variables for these models are included in the data file and input files provided. These include biofilm volumes, dissolved oxygen, COD concentration, water temperature, and monitoring site designation.
