Hydrologic landscape regions of the United States

Hydrologic landscape regions (HLRs) in the United States were delineated by 
using geographic information system (GIS) tools and statistical methods 
including principal components and cluster analyses. The GIS and statistical 
analyses were applied to land-surface form, geologic texture (permeability of 
the soil and bedrock), and climate variables that describe the physical and 
climatic setting of 43,931 small (roughly 200 square kilometers) watersheds 
in the United States. The analyses then grouped the watersheds into 20 
noncontiguous regions (the HLRs) on the basis of similarities in land-surface 
form, geologic texture, and climate characteristics.
		
This hydrologic landscape regions dataset contains for each of the 43,931 
watersheds the (1) watershed identification number, (2) land-surface form, 
geologic texture, and climate characteristics for each watershed, and (3) 
hydrologic landscape region number for each watershed.

Shapefile of Historical shorelines for Fire Island and Great South Bay, New York, derived from previously unpublished National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) 1834-1875 topographic sheets

Topographic sheets (t-sheets) produced by the National Ocean Service (NOS) during the 1800s provide the position of past shorelines. The shoreline data can be vectorized into a geographic information system (GIS) and compared to modern shoreline data to calculate estimates of long-term shoreline rates of change. Many t-sheets were scanned and digitized by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and are available on the NOAA Shoreline website (https://shoreline.noaa.gov/data/datasheets/t-sheets.html). However, some t-sheets were not scanned by NOAA and are only available via the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). The data included within this data release were previously unavailable or not published in digital format. These data were produced to provide a more comprehensive record of shoreline position for Fire Island and Great South Bay, New York, to aid geologic and coastal hazards studies. This data release includes previously unavailable georeferenced t-sheets and digital vector shorelines for the Fire Island and Great South Bay, New York, coastline from 1834, 1838, and 1874/1875. The original t-sheets were scanned by the NARA-authorized vendor and sent to the Unites States Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (USGS SPCMSC) as non-georeferenced digital raster files. Upon arrival at the SPCMSC, USGS staff performed the following procedures: rasters were georeferenced, projected to a modern datum, and shorelines were digitized to create a vector polyline depicting the historical shoreline position. The t-sheets included in this data release are: 1) T-479a, T-479b, T-1 (Parts 2 and 3) (1834); 2) T-58 (Parts 1 and 2) (1838); 3) T-1374a, T-1374b, T-1375a, T-1375b (1874); and 4) T-1402 (1875). All shorelines, including the ocean-facing barrier island shoreline, back-barrier island shoreline, mainland and islands were digitized.

Modeled Combined Extent of All Columbia River Basalt Units (CRB_extent4xconnections)

This shapefile was created as a boundary for the Columbia River Basalt extent and a buffered version 
was used to clip the geomodel unit grids.  As part of a U.S. Geological Survey Groundwater Resources 
Program study, a three-dimensional geomodel was constructed for approximately 53,000 mi2 of the 
Columbia Plateau in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. This geomodel was constructed to define the 
general aquifer system geometry for use in a regional numerical groundwater flow model. Simplifications 
and assumptions consistent with this ultimate goal and the uncertainty in the available data were made. 
The geomodel units consist of Miocene age Columbia River Basalt Group strata and younger alluvial 
overburden covering approximately 44,000 mi2. Data were compiled from numerous databases and 
detailed studies completed during the past three decades. These data include stratigraphic interpretations 
made on more than 13,000 wells and a contiguous compilation of surficial geology and structural features 
spanning the study area. These data were simplified and used to construct piecewise-smooth trend 
surfaces that represent upper and lower subsurface geomodel unit boundaries in this complex folded 
and faulted terrain.  The smoothness of the surfaces implicitly represents uncertainty in prediction of 
each surface resulting from data gaps, errors in borehole interpretations, errors in mapped contact 
locations, and uncertainty in the shape of the paleo-surface upon which flood basalts were emplaced. 
Using a rule-based algorithm, surfaces were then recombined to construct a fully three-dimensional 
model with a 500-foot grid resolution that is consistent with the data and for which error estimates 
may be made. The modeling process yielded improved estimates of unit volumes, refinement of location 
of large structural features, and identification of features that may be important for ongoing groundwater 
studies.

Lidar Bathymetry Data of Cape Canaveral, Florida, (2014) in XYZ ASCII text file format

The Cape Canaveral Coastal System (CCCS) is a prominent feature along the Southeast U.S. coastline and is the only large cape south of Cape Fear, North Carolina. Most of the CCCS lies within the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge and included in its boundaries are the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS), NASA’s Kennedy Space Center (KSC), and a large portion of Canaveral National Seashore. The actual promontory of the modern cape falls within the jurisdictional boundaries of the CCAFS. These various agencies have ongoing concerns related to erosion hazards and vulnerability of the system including critical infrastructure, habitats, and recreational and cultural resources.
The USGS conducted a bathymetric mapping survey August 18-20, 2014, in the Atlantic Ocean offshore of Cape Canaveral, Florida (USGS Field Activity Number 2014-324-FA). The study area covered an area extending south from Port Canaveral, Florida, to the northern end of the KSC property and from the shoreline to about 2.5 km offshore. Bathymetric data were collected with single-beam sonar- and lidar-based systems. Two jet skis and a 17-ft outboard motor boat equipped with the USGS SANDS hydrographic system collected precision sonar data. The sonar operations were conducted in three missions, one on each day, with the boat and jet skis operating concurrently. The USGS airborne EAARL-B mapping system flown in a twin engine plane was used to collect lidar data. The lidar operations were conducted in three missions, one in the afternoon of August 19, 2015, and two more in the morning and afternoon of August 20, 2014. The missions were synchronized such that there was some temporal and spatial overlap between the sonar and lidar operations. Additional data were collected to evaluate the actual water clarity corresponding to lidar's ability to receive bathymetric returns.
This dataset serves as an archive of processed single-beam and lidar bathymetry data collected at Cape Canaveral, Florida, in 2014 (in XYZ comma delimited, ASCII and shapefile format). Also included in this archive are Geographic Information System (GIS) data products: gridded map data (in ESRI binary and ASCII grid format), and a color-coded bathymetry map (in PDF format).

A finite-difference algorithm used to simulate radial diffusion, adsorption, and reactions of chlorinated ethenes in porous media

Simulations of radial diffusion, adsorption, and reactions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) - trichloroethene (TCE), 
cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cDCE), vinyl chloride (VC), trichlorofluoroethene (TCFE) - and bromide (Br) in a porous media 
are conducted using rock properties identified from a mudstone aquifer in the Newark Basin, near West Trenton, New 
Jersey. The simulations are conducted using a finite-difference algorithm that was prepared for this investigation to 
solve the equation for radial diffusion, linear equilibrium adsorption, and zero- and first-order biodegradation. The 
simulations are conducted for a section of a rock matrix and the georeferencing is based on the locations of the well 
from which concentration data were collected and analyzed as part of this investigation. The model simulates 
concentrations in the porous media and in a borehole, which provides the boundary condition for the porous media 
domain. Rock properties controlling the diffusion, adsorption, and reaction of VOCs in the rock matrix are assumed to 
be spatially uniform. This program simulates radial diffusion, adsorption, and reaction of TCE, cDCE, VC, and TCFE in 
a borehole diffusion test. Adsorption is modeled by a linear sorption isotherm. Two version of the software are provided 
that differ only in the assumed model for biodegradation: 
		
RDAR_0 - Biodegradation of TCE and TCFE in the borehole is assumed to be zero-order. Biodegradation of cDCE and 
VC in the borehole is assumed to be first-order. Abiotic degradation of TCE, cDCE, VC, and TCFE in the rock matrix 
(for both dissolved and sorbed phases) is assumbed to be first-order. 
		
RDAR_1 - All degradation is assumed to be first-order. As described in the body of the paper, two sets of TCFE data 
were used for parameter estimation: 
(1) Adjusted TCFE, and 
(2) Original (Unadjusted) TCFE.
		
Simulations are conducted for five cases, with cases I-IV using entire history of VOCs in the borehole for the pre-test 
simulation phase. These cases are: 
(I) Adjusted TCFE, simultaneous fit to Br and VOC; 
(II) Adjusted TCFE, separate fits to Br and VOC; 
(III) Unadjusted TCFE, simultaneous fit to Br and VOC; 
(IV) Unadjusted TCFE, separate fits to Br and VOC; 
(V) Unadjusted TCFE, simultaneous fits to Br and VOC, borehole history simulation limited to only 2015-2017. 
		
This USGS data release contains all of the software, input, and output files for the simulations described in the 
associated journal article (https://doi.org/10.5066/P99I50JE).

Airborne geophysical survey: Berwick '55

Aeromagnetic data were collected along flight lines by instruments in an aircraft that recorded magnetic-field values and locations. In the earlier days of surveying, the only way to represent this data was to generate an analog map with contour lines. This dataset is a representation of the digitized contour lines either by following the lines or by choosing the intersection of the contour and flight-line to create a value of the magnetic field. The values presented are latitude, longitude, and map magnetic-field values.

1-m Bathymetric ArcRaster Grid of NOAA Survey H11310 in Central Narragansett Bay (H11310_UTM19, UTM Zone 19)

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) is working cooperatively with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) to interpret the surficial geology in estuaries along the coast of the northeastern United States. The purpose of our present study is to interpret the distributions of surficial sediments and sedimentary environments in an area of Narragansett Bay using sidescan sonar imagery, high-resolution bathymetry, and sediment data. The mosaic and bathymetry presented herein covers an area of the sea floor in central Narragansett Bay. 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 measurements.

Station and data summary for data collected on Stellwagen Bank during U.S. Geological Survey field activity 2019-008-FA, aboard the R/V Auk, July 30, 31, and August 1, 2019

This field activity is part of the effort to map geologic substrates of the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary region off Boston, Massachusetts. The overall goal is to develop high-resolution (1:25,000) interpretive maps, based on multibeam sonar data and seabed sampling, showing surficial geology and seabed sediment dynamics. This cruise was conducted in collaboration with the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary, and the data collected will aid research on the ecology of fish and invertebrate species that inhabit the region. The Sanctuary's research vessel, R/V Auk, visited 53 locations on Stellwagen Bank at which a customized Van Veen grab sampler (SEABOSS) equipped with a video camera and a CTD was deployed in drift mode to collect sediment for grain-size analysis, video imagery of the seabed, and measurements of water column properties.

Raw and Modified Raw Continuous Resistivity Profile Data Collected in the Potomac River/Chesapeake Bay on Sept. 7, 2006

In order to test hypotheses about groundwater flow under and into Chesapeake Bay, geophysical surveys were conducted by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientists on Chesapeake Bay and the Potomac River Estuary in September 2006. Chesapeake Bay resource managers are concerned about nutrients that are entering the estuary via submarine groundwater discharge, which are contributing to eutrophication. The USGS has performed many related studies in recent years to provide managers with information necessary to make informed decisions about this issue. The research carried out as part of the study described here was designed to help refine nutrient budgets for Chesapeake Bay by characterizing submarine groundwater flow and discharge of groundwater beneath part of the mainstem and a major tributary, the Potomac River Estuary.
