Attributes for NHDPlus Version 2.1 Reach Catchments and Modified Routed Upstream Watersheds for the Conterminous United States: Herbicide Use on Agricultural Land in Kilograms per square Kilometer, 2009

This data set represents the Herbicide use on agricultural land in kilograms per square kilometer, 2009 value compiled for two spatial components of the NHDPlus version 2 data suite (NHDPlusv2) for the conterminous United States; 1) individual reach catchments and 2) reach catchments accumulated upstream through the river network (i.e., watersheds). This dataset can be linked to the NHDPlus version 2 data suite by the unique identifier COMID.  The source data were produced by Baker, N.T., 2015. Units for the  Herbicide use on agricultural land in kilograms per square kilometer, 2009 are kilogram per square kilometer. Reach catchment information characterizes data at the local scale. Reach catchments accumulated upstream through the river networks characterizes cumulative upstream conditions.  Network-accumulated values are computed using two methods, 1) divergence-routed and 2) total cumulative drainage area. Both approaches use a modified routing database to navigate the NHDPlus reach network to aggregate (accumulate) the metrics derived from the reach catchment scale. (Schwarz and Wieczorek, 2016).

Ozarkaquifer_2015waterlevelalt_contours

The regional Ozark aquifer potentiometric-surface map shows the altitude at which the water level would have risen in tightly cased wells and represents conditions during the period from November 2014 through January 2015. Water levels were measured during this period to ensure that wells had adequate time to recover from previous summer pumping and prior to the start of the 2015 summer pumping season. Groundwater-level data from 178 wells cased completely in and open to the Ozark aquifer are available from the USGS National Water Information System (NWIS; data available at http:// waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis). Streams and springs in the study area represent the intersection of the groundwater table with land surface; these features were used in the construction of the potentiometric-surface map. In Arkansas and Missouri, where the Ozark aquifer crops out, altitudes of select gaining stream reaches, compiled from previous reports on gaining and losing streams (data available at http://dx.doi.org/10.5066/F7W9577Q) and select springs (data available at ftp://msdis.missouri.edu/pub/Inland_Water_Resources/MO_2010_ Springs_shp.zip), were calculated from 10-meter digital elevation data (Knierim and others, 2015; Missouri Department of Natural Resources and others, 2010).  After collecting and processing the data, a potentiometric surface was generated by using the interpolation method TopotoRaster in ArcMap. This tool is specifically designed for the creation of hydrologically correct digital elevation models while imposing constraints that ensure a connected drainage structure and a correct representation of the surface from the provided contour data (Esri, 2011). Once the raster surface was created, 100-ft contours were generated by using Contour (Spatial Analyst), which is a spatial analyst tool (available through ArcGIS Spatial Analyst Toolbox) that creates a linefeature class of contours (isolines) from the raster surface (Esri, 2008). Contours were manually adjusted based on topographical influence, a comparison with the regional map of Imes and Emmett (1994), and data point water-level altitudes to more accurately represent the potentiometric surface.

Water levels were measured during this period to ensure that wells had adequate time to recover from previous summer pumping and prior to the start of the 2015 summer pumping season. Groundwater-level data from 178 wells cased completely in and open to the Ozark aquifer are available from the USGS National Water Information System (NWIS; data available at http://water.data.usgs.gov/nwis).

Location, sampling methods and field conditions of resiliency-mode soil and sediment sampling stations sampled, Sediment-Bound Contaminant Resiliency and Response Strategy pilot study, northeastern United States, 2015.

Coastal communities are uniquely vulnerable to sea-level rise (SLR) and severe storms such as hurricanes. These events enhance the dispersion and concentration of natural and anthropogenic chemicals and pathogenic microorganisms that could adversely affect the health and resilience of coastal communities and ecosystems in coming years. The U.S. Geological Survey has developed the Sediment-Bound Contaminant Resiliency and Response (SCoRR) strategy to define baseline and post-event sediment-bound environmental health (EH) stressors. These data document the location, sampling techniques and field conditions observed while collecting soil and sediment samples from selected stations in the northeastern US during the 2015 pilot implementation of the SCoRR strategy. Photographs of sampling locations and conditions are also presented. Data in this release were collected during resiliency (baseline) mode.

This tabular data set represents the mean Julian year day of the year of the last freeze, from 30 years of record (1961-1990) compiled for two spatial components of the NHDPlus version 2 data suite (NHDPlusv2) for the conterminous United States; 1) individual reach catchments and 2) reach catchments accumulated upstream through the river network. This dataset can be linked to the NHDPlus version 2 data suite by the unique identifier COMID. The source data for the mean day of the year of a last freeze, from 30 years of record (1961-1990) was provided by the Environmental Protection Agency and is included with this data set (Ryan Hill, EPA, written commun., 2006). The values represent the Julian year day of the last freeze. For example, value of 300 is the 300th day of the year (Oct 27th). Values &gt; 365 mean that the last freeze occurs after Dec 31.  It is done this way so that (first_freeze - last_freeze) should always give a positive number; high numbers for an area with a long frost-free period (e.g. Florida), low numbers for an area with a short frost-free period.Reach catchment information characterizes data at the local scale.

Projections of coastal flood velocities for Whatcom County, Northwest Washington State coast (2015-2100)

Projected flood velocities associated with compound coastal flood hazards for future sea-level rise (SLR) and storm scenarios are provided for Whatcom County, Washington, in a series of raster geotiff files. Projections were made using a system of numerical models with atmospheric forcing, tides, sea level position and stream discharge driven by output from Global Climate Models (GCMs) from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5). The resulting computed coastal flood velocities along the Whatcom County coast due to predicted sea level rise and future storm conditions consider the changing climate. In addition to sea-level rise, flood simulations run by these numerical models included dynamic contributions from tide, storm surge, wind, waves, and seasonal sea-level fluctuations. In the absence of concordant downscaled GCM stream discharge, daily average stream discharge was fed to the model. Outputs include flood velocities from the combinations of SLR scenarios (0, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 and 5.0 m) storm conditions including 1-year, 5-year, 10-year, 20-year, 50-year and 100-year return interval storms and a background condition (no storm - astronomic tide and average atmospheric conditions). Predicted flood velocities during the largest annual astronomic tides (King Tide) in combination with an average storm surge scenario are also provided.

Bullet fragments in Belding's ground squirrels in Oregon and California in 2014-2015

The dataset includes specifics on fragments of bullets recovered from shot Belding's ground squirrels from Oregon and California. Ground squirrels were radiographed and then we used ImageJ software to count and measure the area of those bullet fragments. A subset of shot carcasses were then digested and bullet fragments were recovered.  Statistical models were developed to predict either the number or mass of bullet fragments in shot ground squirrel carcasses using the radiograph estimates and the digested recovered fragment data.
