Data on Zerene silverspot butterfly and early blue violet responses to herbicide treatments from 2018-2019 greenhouse experiments

Herbicide treatments were applied to Zerene silverspot (Speyeria = Argynnis zerene zerene) post-diapause larvae and early blue violets (Viola adunca), the larval host plant of the Zerene silverspot butterfly, in two greenhouse experiments in 2018-2019. Treatments included distilled water for untreated (U), Agri-Dex (A), Nu Film IR (N), clopyralid (C), clopyralid with Agri-Dex (CA), clopyralid with Nu Film IR (CN), fluazifop-p-butyl (F), fluazifop-p-butyl with Agri-Dex (FA), and fluazifop-p-butyl with Nu Film IR (FN). Zerene silverspot responses measured in the 2018 experiment included larval and pupal survival, sex ratio, larval and pupal development time, pupal and adult mass, adult morphology, female fecundity, and offspring survival and development time. In the 2019 experiment, the recorded response was displayed oviposition behavior of untreated Zerene silverspot females on early blue violets treated with U, CA, and CN. Host plants were also measured for their carbon and nitrogen contents. An additional experiment in 2019 recorded the adult mass of females that were either reared on early blue violets in competition with false dandelions (Hypochaeris radicata) and tall fescues (Festuca arundinacea) or without competition when they were post-diapause larvae.

USGS National and Global Oil and Gas Assessment Project-Montana Thrust Belt Province: Assessment Unit Boundaries, Assessment Input Data, and Fact Sheet Data Tables

This data release contains the boundaries of assessment units and input data for the assessment of undiscovered gas resources in the Montana Thrust Belt province in Montana. The Assessment Unit is the fundamental unit used in the National Assessment Project for the assessment of undiscovered oil and gas resources.  The Assessment Unit is defined within the context of the higher-level Total Petroleum System.  The Assessment Unit is shown herein as a geographic boundary interpreted, defined, and mapped by the geologist responsible for the province and incorporates a set of known or postulated oil and (or) gas accumulations sharing similar geologic, geographic, and temporal properties within the Total Petroleum System, such as source rock, timing, migration pathways, trapping mechanism, and hydrocarbon type.  The Assessment Unit boundary is defined geologically as the limits of the geologic elements that define the Assessment Unit, such as limits of reservoir rock, geologic structures, source rock, and seal lithologies.  The only exceptions to this are Assessment Units that border the Federal-State water boundary.  In these cases, the Federal-State water boundary forms part of the Assessment Unit boundary.  In addition to the shapefile, for U.S. assessments, allocation tables are provided that enumerate percentages assigned to various land categories. Machine-readable tables are also provided that contain the input and results for each assessment unit summarized in the USGS Fact Sheet. Methodology of assessments are documented in USGS Data Series 547 for continuous assessments (https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/547) and USGS DDS69-D, Chapter 21 for conventional assessments (https://pubs.usgs.gov/dds/dds-069/dds-069-d/REPORTS/69_D_CH_21.pdf).

Post-fire habitat associations of greater sage-grouse in Idaho and Oregon, 2016-2018

We investigated habitat selection by 28 male greater sage-grouse during each of three years (2016-2018) after a 113,000-ha wildfire in a sagebrush steppe ecosystem in Idaho and Oregon.  During the study period, seeding and herbicide treatments were applied for habitat restoration.  This dataset includes pre-fire land cover, post-fire vegetation, and post-fire treatment data within 500-m buffers of sage-grouse telemetry locations and random locations within the perimeter of the wildfire.  These data were used to analyze habitat selection by sage-grouse in each of the three years.

Favorability of environmental conditions for coral reefs in Guam and American Samoa under multiple climate scenarios

This dataset consists of raster geotiff outputs of relative environmental favorability for coral growth and survival in the United States territories of Guam and American Samoa across 3 climate scenarios: Present, Intermediate Emissions (Representative Concentration Pathway 4.5), and Worst Case Emissions (Representative Concentration Pathway 4.5). These datasets were generated from a synthesis of spatial variability in many environmental conditions, including thermal stress, wave power, irradiance, chlorophyll concentrations, macroalgal cover, calcite concentrations, turbidity, and erosion. Input conditions were classified as “Managed” or “Non-managed” based on whether the condition could be managed at the island scale. Environmental favorability scores range from 0 to 1, with 0 representing the worst observed conditions for coral and 1 representing the best observed conditions within each territory and scenario. The full methods and results are described in detail in the parent manuscript, “Where favorable environmental conditions and resilient corals coincide: Guam and American Samoa” (2022).

Data on barium, strontium, cobalt, and nickel plumes formed during microbial iron-reduction on sediments and in water from a crude-oil-contaminated aquifer, Bemidji, Minnesota (2009-2019)

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Data Release provides concentrations from groundwater and soil extracts for iron (Fe), barium (Ba), strontium (Sr), cobalt (Co), and nickel (Ni). Groundwater analyses for pH and alkalinity are also included. Samples were collected at the National Crude Oil Spill Fate and Natural Attenuation Research Site, near Bemidji MN (USA) between 2009-2019. The site is in Beltrami County, where a high-pressure pipeline carrying crude oil burst in 1979 and spilled approximately 1.7 million liters (10,700 barrels) into glacial outwash deposits. A trace element plume occurred at the site, in which concentrations of Fe, Co, Ni, Ba, and Sr were mobilized from the sediments into the groundwater. These elements are regulated in groundwater by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or recommended for regulation by the World Health Organization (WHO). Laboratory and field measurements are included in this data release. There are three tables (*.xlsx and *.csv) in this dataset: 1) T1_BemidjiDataDictionary 2) T2_BemidjiGroundwaterChemistry 3) T3_BemidjiSedimentChemistry. T1_BemidjiDataDictionary provides metadata for tables T2 and T3; T2_BemidjiGroundwaterChemistry includes pH, alkalinity (HCO3-), and trace metal concentrations measured in groundwater samples; T3_BemidjiSedimentChemistry includes trace metal concentrations measured in sediment extracts.
This data release provides data sets in tabular, database-ready format. The data contained in this data release were supported primarily by the USGS Environmental Health Toxic Substances Hydrology Program.

Hydraulic Model Archive and Fluvial Egg Drift Simulator (FluEgg) Results for Simulations of Invasive Carp Egg and Larval Drift in the Maumee River, Ohio (ver. 1.1, July 2023)

The U.S. Geological Survey simulated the drift and dispersal of invasive carp eggs and larvae in the Maumee River, Ohio, using the Fluvial Egg Drift Simulator (FluEgg) (Garcia and others, 2013; Domanski, 2020). The hydraulic inputs used in the FluEgg simulations were generated using a one-dimensional Hydrologic Engineering Center-River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) (version 5.0.7) model of the Maumee River (HEC-RAS, 2020). HEC-RAS simulations and FluEgg simulations were run for both steady and unsteady flow conditions. This data release contains an archive of the relevant files to document and run the HEC-RAS and FluEgg simulations of the Maumee River as well as the simulation outputs.

Reclassified lidar point cloud data from 2016 LARIAC and 2019 NCALM collections covering part of the Woolsey wildfire near Malibu, California

These lidar data are derived from two airborne lidar surveys: a 2016 Los Angeles Region Imagery Acquisition Consortium (LARIAC) survey, and a 2019 National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping (NCALM) survey. These data were reclassified in order to improve the classification of ground points, and to make the classification of both datasets as consistent as possible. The NCALM data had their position shifted slightly to more closely align with the LARIAC data. The data are organized into two "Child Items": Reclassified lidar point clouds from 2016 LARIAC collection near Malibu, California and Reclassified lidar point clouds from 2019 NCALM collection near Malibu, California. The point clouds are available as ~1 square kilometer tiles with 25 m buffer overlaps to avoid edge effects in further processing. The naming convention includes the name of the original data collection and some reference UTM coordinates.

Sediment grain-size data from the Klamath estuary, California

This data release includes grain-size measurements of sediment samples collected from the substrate surface and uppermost 10 cm of sediment deposits in the Klamath estuary, northern California. Samples were collected using a BMH-60 bed-material sampler deployed from a boat, or by hand trowel from subaerial or shallow-water (less than 0.5 m water depth) regions along the estuary margins and side channels. Sediment grain size was analyzed at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) laboratory in Santa Cruz, Calif. Particles coarser than 2 mm were sieved using a RO-TAP sieve shaker, and particles finer than 2 mm were analyzed with a Coulter laser particle-size analyzer (LPSA), after organic matter had been removed using a hydrogen peroxide solution.
At some submerged locations where sampling was attempted, no sample was recovered. The field crew observed this occurring in places where the substrate was too coarse-grained to be collected by the bed-material sampler (cobbles), where large particles were embedded in finer (poorly sorted) matrix, and where sediment was covered by algal mats thick enough to prevent the sampler from accessing the sedimentary substrate. Locations where sampling was attempted but no sample was recovered are indicated in the ‘Comments’ column within the data spreadsheet.
The sediment samples were collected under a Cultural Resources Management Permit issued by the Yurok Tribe, whose support the USGS acknowledges gratefully.

Pallid sturgeon free embryo drift and dispersal experiment data from the Upper Missouri River, Montana and North Dakota, 2019: Free embryo data

The data set contains sampling and catch data associated with a broad-scale experiment to examine dispersal of endangered pallid sturgeon (Scaphirhynchus albus) free embryos in the Missouri River of eastern Montana and western North Dakota.  On 20190701, two age groups of pallid sturgeon including 771,707 1-day post-hatch (dph) free embryos and 200,786 5-dph free embryos were released and recaptured through 20190708 from six sampling sites in a 150-mile reach of the Missouri River.  The free embryos were sampled using multiple boats and crews at the sites, and sampling for the free embryos was conducted at the river bed (bottom samples), in the middle of the water column (mid-water samples), and at the river surface (top samples).  The data set includes sampling location information, ichthyoplankton catches for the released pallid sturgeon free embryos and other Acipenseriformes species (shovelnose sturgeon Scaphirhynchus platorynchus, paddlefish Polyodon spathula), biological metrics for the Acipenseriformes free embryos, and genetic results used to identify Acipenseriformes species.

Pallid sturgeon free embryo drift and dispersal experiment data from the Upper Missouri River, Montana and North Dakota, 2019: Water temperature and discharge data

In 2019, an experimental release of nearly 1.0 million free embryos of federally endangered pallid sturgeon (Scaphirhynchus albus) was conducted in the Missouri River of eastern Montana and western North Dakota.  Dispersal of the free embryos and survival of the benthic larvae was assessed from 20190701 to 20190909 through 150 miles of the river. The data sets contain mean daily discharge and hourly water temperature data for the Missouri River, and mean daily discharge data for the Yellowstone River.  Dates of the data extend from 20190701 to 20190909.  Discharge data for the Missouri River were obtained from USGS gage 06177000 near Wolf Point, Montana. Discharge data for the Yellowstone River were obtained from USGS gage 06329500 near Sidney, Montana.  Water temperature data for the Missouri River were recorded by water temperature loggers positioned near Poplar, Montana, Culbertson, Montana, the Montana-North Dakota state border, and downstream from the Yellowstone River confluence.

Marine magnetic data from twelve cruises of Pioneer and Rehoboth in 1955 and 1956 off British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and California [MGD77T files]

These MGD77T files contain total-field marine magnetic data from eleven cruises of the USCGS ship Pioneer (OSS-31) and one cruise from the USS Rehoboth (AGS-50) in deep water off the west coast of the United States and southern British Columbia in 1955 and 1956. Magnetic anomalies are calculated with the latest definitive geomagnetic reference field (DGRF) included in the 12th Generation of the International Geomagnetic Reference Field model (Thébault and others, 2015). The marine magnetic data from these cruises were recovered from backup tapes that archived the work of Skaer and Hey in the late 1980s (Skaer, 1989). Fernandez and Hey (1991) merged these 1950s data with magnetic data from subsequent cruises. Raw data are provided in industry standard MGD77T files accompanied by individual header files (h77T). Our recovery of the 1991 data from legacy media provides a data set that helps advance magnetic field studies in the region.

Continuous Resistivity Profiling (CRP) in the Des Moines River and Beaver Creek, Des Moines, Iowa, 2018

In September 2018, approximately 13 miles of continuous resistivity profiling (CRP) surveys were collected on the Des Moines River and Beaver Creek in Des Moines, Iowa. The CRP method was used to characterize the resistivity of the water column and the underlying geologic materials.  Three CRP  line profiles were collected during one day of field work and were collected concurrently with continuous seismic profiling (CSP) methods.  For this investigation, 11 electrodes spaced 10 m apart and mounted in a streamer were towed behind a manned boat and data were collected using the dipole-dipole array type.  The first two electrodes, closest to the boat were used to inject current into the water and river bottom, and eight electrical potential measurements were made using the remaining nine electrodes.  With this system, a complete suite of measurements is collected every 2.8 seconds.  Considering the boats slow rate of speed a complete measurement is taken about every 3-5 meters of boat movement.  In general, voltage measurements taken with larger electrode spacings extend deeper into the subsurface.  The exact depth and resistivity are determined through a process of inversion.  Data were collected concurrently with CSP methods.  Both methods used the same .gps files for georeferencing. Starting and ending coordinates for each line are specified in readme_CRP.
This data release contains a notes file for archiving surface-geophysical data (CRP_Archive_Notes_DesMoinesIA.csv), a text file (Readme_CRP.txt) explaining the data files and processing references, and a color scale file (CRP_colorscale.png) relating colors to resistivity values. This data release also contains compressed zip folders (one for each survey line) that contain the original instrument files (windows command script, .crs, .stg, and .gps), two .xyz  files (raw data culled and inverted data), and the inverted model output image for each survey line (.wmf).
Field notes taken at the time of data collection are not included in this data release but are available upon request.
