Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Moose Project - Volume 2 (2021 - 2024)

This volume's release consists of 320104 media files captured by autonomous wildlife monitoring devices under the project, Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.  The attached files listed below include several CSV files that provide information about the data release.   The file, "media.csv" provides the metadata about the media, such as filename and date/time of capture.   The actual media files are housed within folders under the volume's "child items" as compressed files.   A critical CSV file is "dictionary.csv", which describes  each  CSV file, including field names, data types, descriptions, and the relationship of each field to fields in other CSV files.    Some of the media files may have been "tagged" or "annotated" by either humans or by machine learning models,  identifying wildlife targets within the media.  If so, this information is stored in  "annotations.csv" and "modeloutputs.csv", respectively.   To protect privacy, all personally identifiable information (PII) have been removed, locations have been "blurred" by bounding boxes, and media featuring sensitive taxa or humans have been omitted.   To enhance data reuse, the sbRehydrate() function in the AMMonitor R package will download files and re-create the original AMMonitor project (database + media files).

CE-QUAL-W2 model for Green Peter and Foster Lakes, Oregon, 2023 and theoretical drawdown scenarios

This data release consists of a two-dimensional (laterally averaged) hydrodynamic water-quality model (CE-QUAL-W2; Wells, 2019) of Green Peter and Foster Lakes for the 2023 calendar year, and three theoretical deep drawdown operational scenarios that apply the 2023 model to calendar year 2024. The model and scenarios were used to gain insights into the thermal processes in Green Peter and Foster Lakes and downstream water release temperatures from Green Peter Dam to the Middle Santiam River and from Foster Lake to the South Santiam River during deep drawdown operations, and to investigate the effects of deep reservoir drawdown timing on water temperatures within and downstream of Green Peter and Foster Lakes. The model and scenarios documented here were modified from the Green Peter and Foster Lakes model documented in Stratton Garvin and Rounds (2023) and Stratton Garvin and others (2023), and are not appropriate for use other than the intended purpose of comparing various drawdown operational scenarios using 2023 deep drawdown conditions to inform potential management decisions.

Airborne magnetic survey, Medicine Bow Mountains, Wyoming, 2023

This data release provides digital flight line data for a high-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey over the Medicine Bow Mountains in southern Wyoming. The airborne survey was jointly funded by the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative and the Wyoming State Geological Survey (WSGS). The survey was designed to meet complementary needs related to geologic mapping and characterization of mineral resource potential. A total of 16,400 line km of magnetic and radiometric data were acquired over an irregular-shaped area of 2710 km2. Data were collected from a helicopter flown at a nominal terrain clearance of 80 meters (m) above topography along N-S flight lines spaced at 200 m intervals. The line spacing was tightened to 100 m over the Lake Owen complex, a layered mafic intrusion within the survey area. Tie lines were flown in an E-W direction every 2000 m, and 1000 m over the Lake Owen complex. Data were collected by EON Geosciences Inc. and Woolpert Inc. under contract to the USGS using a helicopter with a magnetometer mounted in a stinger and a fully calibrated gamma-ray spectrometer. The survey operated out of the Laramie, Wyoming, airport from August of 2023 to September of 2023. Files that are available in this publication include flight line data for the magnetic survey, flight line data for the radiometric survey and a report describing the survey parameters, field operations, quality control and data reduction procedures. A zip file is provided that contains the contractor's deliverable products that includes Geosoft databases and grids for the magnetic and radiometric survey and the report describing the survey and data reduction.

Estimated crop irrigation water use withdrawals in Sacramento Valley Groundwater Basin, Arizona for 2023

Observations of irrigated agricultural land within the Sacramento Valley Groundwater Basin in Arizona. Crops were verified in situ once in 2023 on Sep 14th; based on digitized field boundaries. Field boundaries were digitized from U.S. Department of Agriculture, National Agricultural Imagery Program County Mosaic 2023 imagery for Arizona and supplemented with the Sentinel2 imagery collection accessed via the European Space Agency, Copernicus Browser (https://browser.dataspace.copernicus.eu/). Satellite images were also used to identify the length of the growing season and crop condition. Water withdrawals were calculated using the modified Blaney-Criddle model of calculating consumptive use (U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, 1992 appendix A) using crop coefficients from Doorenbos and Pruitt (1975), the number of acres with active crops, crop condition, and irrigation system efficiency. The withdrawal equation was modified from "Water withdrawals for irrigation, municipal, mining, thermoelectric-power, and drainage uses in Arizona outside of active management areas, 1991-2000" (Tadayon, 2005) to account for variations in water application.

River stage and temperature dataset for 2021-2024 collected for U.S. Army Corps of Engineers downstream of the Kinzua Dam, Pennsylvania.

This dataset contains river stage (in meters and feet), water surface elevation (WSE), and temperature data collected at 3 focal areas of research included in the Sustainable Rivers Program (SRP) in the Allegheny River that were collected and processed in collaboration with US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).  This dataset is a combination of data collected by Hobo* U20L water level data loggers and multiple Hobo* TidBit temperature sensors at each focal area.  River stage was calculated using the Hobo* software and utilized the barometric pressure at the stage loggers within each area (as a result of the amount of sitting water above the logger creating pressure and the atmospheric pressure above the water) combined with the atmospheric barometric pressure measured at the nearby USGS West Hickory gage (#03016000) also measured with a U20L.

Fluvial-aeolian sediment availability models: Colorado River, Grand Canyon

These data were compiled to model the area of exposed, bare sand along 168 km of the Colorado River between Glen Canyon Dam and Bright Angel Creek, Arizona. Objective(s) of our study were to develop and validate four models of exposed sand area for the study reach, respectively based on 1) single-day maxiumum river discharge, 2) multiple-day river discharge patterning, 3) field-observed wind velocities, and 4) remote-sensing measured trends in vegetation areas. These data represent biophysical patterns and processes in the study reach; included here are a) daily records of maximum discharge of the Colorado River at Lees Ferry, Arizona, b) river discharge and exposed sand area throughout the study reach, c) scaling factors for bare sand areas by year based on observed vegetation extents present in the study reach, and d) scaling factors for bare sand areas by day based on our models throughout the study reach. These data were collected along the Colorado River in Grand Canyon, extending from Glen Canyon Dam downstream to Bright Angel Creek, Arizona. Data collection spanned 2002-2022. These data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey, Southwest Biological Science Center, Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center via field observation (e.g., micrometeorological stations and terrestrial lidar), and remote sensing methods (e.g., classification of aerial photographs). These data can be used to conduct bare exposed sand area modeling for the study reach presented here, and may also serve as a basis for developing models of exposed bare sand area for other river systems where similar data are available.

Laboratory optical measurements in support of assessing PFAS enrichment in natural foams on surface waters within the Delaware River Basin

One phenomenon that has been shown to concentrate and release per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in surface water is the formation of natural foams. For surface water foams to form, surface active compounds or surfactants must be present in the water along with a source of gas bubbles. Some examples of surface-active compounds include humic and fulvic acids, colloidal particles, and lipids and proteins. The relationship between PFAS and dissolved organic matter (DOM) is important because studies have shown that DOM can affect PFAS fate and bioavailability in aquatic systems and treatment processes. The results from this assessment will improve our understanding of PFAS fate and transport in the environment. Surface water and foam samples were collected from two sub-basins in the Delaware River Basin to compare PFAS, PFAS total oxidizable precursors (TOP), and DOM concentrations and composition in surface water foams to that of underlying bulk water, upstream water, and downstream water. Data were collected in support of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Water Mission Area Integrated Water Availability Assessments program in coordination with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) and USGS Water Science Centers in Pennsylvania and California.

Hydrologic and Hydraulic Models from Effective and Pending Flood Insurance Studies compared to the July 2023 Flood in Vermont

Flood Insurance Studies (FISs) published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) provide 10-, 2-, 1-, and 0.2-percent annual exceedance probability (AEP) streamflows and water-surface elevations for many stream reaches that were affected by the July 2023 flood in Vermont. After a flood, it is useful to compare observed streamflows and water-surface elevations to flood flow-frequency and water-surface elevations published in a FIS report (Federal Emergency Management Agency, 1980–2014). Theoretically, the AEP for the peak water-surface elevation and the AEP for the peak streamflow from the same event at the same location should be the same. Reaches for which the AEPs do not align show where existing FISs could be updated with new hydrologic data and hydraulic models.
Flood streamflows for 10-, 2-, 1- and 0.2-percent frequencies using annual peak-flow data through water year 2023 were compared to peak streamflows in FEMA FIS reports and pending (2024) FIS studies. The proposed peak streamflows from pending FIS studies are based on statistical analyses of annual peak flow data prior to water year 2023. Although flood-frequency estimates were updated for 80 streamgages after the July 2023 flood, only a fraction of the streamgages have detailed hydrologic analysis in FIS reports (or pending FIS reports) and can be used in the streamflow comparison.
Peak-water surface elevations from the July 2023 flood were also documented at surveyed high-water marks (HWMs) along selected river reaches impacted by the July 2023 flood in Vermont. Reaches that had HWMs, a streamgage on the same river with a drainage area within fifty percent of the reach drainage area, and an effective FIS were selected for evaluation. Streamflows and HWMs from the July flood event are presented alongside statistical streamflows and elevations for the 10- to 0.2-percent AEPs from the applicable FIS.

Cisco Egg Hatching Data for UV-lamp Phototron Experiments

These data contain the survivorship, hatching dates, and two metrics of sublethal effects of ultraviolet radiation (UV-B; 320 nm) exposure on Cisco (Coregonus artedi) embryos. These data were derived from UV-lamp phototron experiments conducted in the laboratory using fertilized Cisco eggs from wild caught fish from Lake Koronis, MN from 2021 - 2022. Cisco are an important species of fish that is distributed across many lakes throughout northern North America, including the Great Lakes where their conservation or restoration is of great interest. These experiments were conducted to help understand if UV-B could contribute to the recruitment bottlenecks of the early life stages of these fish.

Evaluation of solid bitumen created from marine oil shale bituminite under hydrous and anhydrous pyrolysis conditions

This study tests the influence of environmental conditions on conversion of the maceral bituminite to a solid petroleum residuum (solid bitumen) during pyrolysis. The presence of water in sedimentary basins controls multiple processes during petroleum generation, migration, and storage. Four organic-rich (26–36 wt.% total organic carbon) oil shale samples were collected from thin-bedded (several cm thick), discontinuous outcrop exposures in the Neoproterozoic–Lower Cambrian restricted marine Salt Range Formation in the upper Indus Basin, Pakistan. Samples were from the Khewra Gorge (K-2) and Sohan Nala localities [SN-R(c), SN-5(b), SN-1]; a sample of Joadja torbanite coal from Australia containing terrigenous vitrinite was also included in the study for comparison. All samples were crushed, homogenized, and sieved to 4 (4.75 mm) or 8 (2.36 mm) mesh prior to pyrolysis experiments. Experiments used closed system batch reactors at subcritical water temperatures between 300 and 370°C for 72 hrs. The samples were pyrolyzed under hydrous and anhydrous conditions using distilled water, brine, or the absence of fluid as a condition of the experiment. These data tables represent the findings of this study and support an upcoming publication.
