Threat prioritization framework and input data for a multi-hazard risk analysis for the U.S. Department of the Interior

An integral part of disaster risk management is identifying and prioritizing hazards and their potential impacts in a meaningful way to support risk-reduction planning. There has been considerable use and subsequent criticism of threat prioritization efforts that simply compare likelihoods and consequences of plausible threats. This data supports an article that summarizes a new mixed-methods and scalable approach for prioritizing risks in a multi-hazard, multi-objective, and multi-criteria organizational context. This data describes (1) hazard characterizations using subject-matter-expert (SME) elicitation, (2) expressed preferences in planning priorities provided by emergency managers, and (3) quantitative estimates of asset exposure to hazards using geospatial data and geographic-information-systems (GIS) software. This data was derived from a case study designed to support multi-hazard mitigation and response planning done by the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) Office of Emergency Management, which required a national understanding of the risks posed by 75 different various natural, technological, and adversarial hazards to DOI lands, facilities, people, revenues, and resources.

Stream Temperature and Dissolved Oxygen Responses to Small Dams and Dam Removal in Massachusetts

Small, surface-release dams are ubiquitous across the U.S. and have the potential to alter stream flow, impede sediment and nutrient transport, and fragment biotic assemblages. To mitigate these and other ecological impacts and reduce public safety hazards, dam removal has become an increasingly prevalent method of stream restoration. However, few streams have been consistently monitored before and after dam removal, and there is a need for more information regarding how dam removals affect stream ecosystems across different dam, stream, and watershed characteristics. The presented data aimed to quantify the effects of dams and dam removals on two critical water quality parameters (stream temperature and dissolved oxygen) across 16 Massachusetts streams with completed (10 sites) or upcoming dam removals. This data release provides daily temperature and dissolved oxygen data before and up to 5 years after removal in upstream, downstream, and impounded or formerly impounded reaches.

MODFLOW-NWT datasets for the simulation of the drainage infrastructure and groundwater system response to changes in sea level and precipitation, Broward County, Florida

The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with Broward County Environmental Planning and Resilience Division, has developed a groundwater/surface-water model to evaluate the response of the drainage infrastructure and groundwater system in Broward County to increases in sea level and potential changes in precipitation. The model was constructed using a modified version of MODFLOW-NWT, with the surface-water system represented using the Surface-Water Routing process and the Urban Runoff Process. The surface-water drainage system within this newly developed model actively simulates the extensive canal network using level-pool routing and active structures representing gates, weirs, culverts, and pumps. Steady-state and transient simulation results represented historical conditions (2013-17). Simulation results incorporating increased sea level and precipitation were used to evaluate the effects on the surface-water drainage system and wet season groundwater levels. Four future sea-level scenarios were simulated by modifying the historical inputs for both the steady-state and the transient models to represent mean sea levels of 0.5, 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0 ft above the North American Vertical Datum of 1988. 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/sir20225074)

Rainbow trout growth data and growth covariate data from Glen Canyon, Colorado River, Arizona, 2012-2021

These data are the primary data used to model rainbow trout growth in Glen Canyon. Fish growth data were collected from nighttime boat electrofishing field campaigns conducted five to six times per year in April, July, September, and January, from April 2012 through November 2021 for a total of 9798 observations of mark-recapture-based growth. Sampling was conducted in a five km reach in the lower portion of the Glen Canyon tailwater (3.7-8.9 km upstream of Lees Ferry, AZ). Two nights of sampling occurred on each trip, with the central 2-3 km of the reach sampled on both nights. After capture, fish were kept in aerated 40-L buckets and transported to a central processing location. Groups of 10-15 fish were anesthetized and rainbow trout ≥ 75 mm were scanned and injected with a passive integrated transponders (PIT) tag if they had not been previously tagged. Fork length was measured to the nearest mm, and weight was measured to the nearest gram for fish ≥ 150 mm and to the nearest 0.1 g for smaller fish. Provided are tabulated data for fish forklength and weight at capture and recapture as well as estimates of rainbow trout biomass at each trip interval. We evaluated the effects of discharge, water temperature, competition for prey, solar insolation, soluble reactive phosphorus concentration, and the presence of absence of two experimental flows  on growth rates of rainbow trout. These seven covariates were selected based on findings from previous modeling efforts and hypotheses regarding how experimental flows affect the rate of prey delivery, metabolic and foraging costs, foraging efficiency, and prey availability. Covariates are compiled as tabulated mean values for each reach and sampling trip and corresponding data sources.

Southwestern Willow Flycatcher (Empidonax traillii extimus) surveys and nest monitoring in San Diego County, California, 2019

Data presented are results of surveys and monitoring in 2019 for Southwestern Willow Flycatcher (Empidonax traillii extimus) in San Diego County, California. Surveys were conducted at locations along Cottonwood Creek, Tijuana River, and the San Luis Rey River, and nest monitoring was performed at three locations along the San Luis Rey River downstream of Lake Henshaw (Cleveland National Forest, Rey River Ranch, Vista Irrigation District). Surveys were conducted along multiple sections of the river where permission to access properties could be obtained. Locations were surveyed using a standardized protocol three to four times between 15 May and 31 July. The number, age (adult or juvenile), sex, banding status (color banded or not, and if so, color combination), and breeding status (paired, undetermined, or transient) of all willow flycatchers was recorded. At the nest monitoring locations, adult flycatchers (when possible) were captured in mist nets, using song playbacks to attract birds to nets, and color banded with individually unique color combinations to provide data on survival within and between years. During banding, data were collected on age, sex, weight, and reproductive status. The goal of nest monitoring was to collect data on annual productivity. Monitored territories were visited 1-2 times weekly to determine nest success and band the nestlings at 6-8 days of age.

In 2015, surveys were conducted at select locations along the San Luis Rey River between College Boulevard and Lake Henshaw. In 2016, surveys were conducted at select locations along Agua Hedionda Creek, San Dieguito River, San Luis Rey River, Santa Ysabel Creek, and San Diego River, and nest monitoring was performed at three locations along the San Luis Rey River downstream of Lake Henshaw (Cleveland National Forest, Rey River Ranch, Vista Irrigation District). Surveys were conducted along multiple sections of the river where permission to access properties could be obtained. Locations were surveyed using a standardized protocol three to four times between 15 May and 31 July. The number, age (adult or juvenile), sex, banding status (color banded or not, and if so, color combination), and breeding status (paired, undetermined, or transient) of all willow flycatchers was recorded. In 2015, as preparation for nest monitoring in 2016, adult flycatchers (when possible) were captured in mist nets, using song playbacks to attract birds to nets, and color banded with individually unique color combinations to provide data on survival within and between years. Nestlings in nests found opportunistically during surveys were banded at 6-8 days of age. During banding, data were collected on age, sex, weight, and reproductive status. The goal of nest monitoring was to collect data on annual productivity. Monitored territories were visited 1-2 times weekly to determine nest success and band the nestlings at 6-8 days of age. Adults were also color banded as described above to examine survivorship and dispersal patterns.
