Data release of geologic and geophysical maps of the onshore parts of the Santa Maria and Point Conception 30' x 60' quadrangles, California

This dataset accompanies geologic map publication " Geologic and geophysical maps of the onshore parts of the Santa Maria and Point Conception 30' x 60' quadrangles, California "; U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Map 3473. Data presented here include the digital geologic map database, paleontological sample locations and descriptions, and point data sets from magnetic and gravity data. The geologic database includes spatial feature classes and non-spatial tables that collectively contain the geologic information presented in the map plate. Fossil sample localities are included as a point feature class in the geologic map database and as two spreadsheet tables of fossil sample localities and fossil checklists. 
The location of gravity stations in the map area are compiled and augmented by new measurements of the Santa Maria and northern part of the Point Conception 30 x 60 quadrangle, California. This dataset represents an edited version of Langenheim (2013) U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2013-1282 and includes data that were collected after that publication. 
Point data representing the isostatic gravity field, gridded at a 200-m spacing, are presented for two reduction densities: 2000 kg/m3 and 2670 kg/m3. Point data representing the magnetic field, gridded at a 200-m spacing, are presented for magnetic data that have been filtered to emphasize shallow-depth and medium-depth magnetic sources.
Boundaries of density and magnetic sources were derived from application of the maximum horizontal gradient method for the Santa Maria and Point Conception 30 x 60 quadrangle, California. Point data representing the maximum horizontal gradient boundaries in the magnetic field are presented for the total magnetic field and for magnetic data that have been filtered to emphasize shallow-depth and medium-depth magnetic sources. Point data representing the maximum horizontal gradient boundaries in the gravity field are presented for two reduction densities: 2000 kg/m3 and 2670 kg/m3.

Datasets from Groundwater-Quality and Select Quality-Control Data from the National Water-Quality Assessment Project, January through December 2016, and Previously Unpublished Data from 2013 to 2015

Groundwater-quality data were collected from 648 wells as part of the National Water-Quality Assessment Project of the U.S. Geological Survey National Water-Quality Program and are included in this report. Most of the wells (514) were sampled from January through December 2016 and 60 of them were sampled in 2013 and 74 in 2014. The data were collected from seven types of well networks: principal aquifer study networks, which are used to assess the quality of groundwater used for public water supply; land-use study networks, which are used to assess land-use effects on shallow groundwater quality; major aquifer study networks, which are used to assess the quality of groundwater used for domestic supply; enhanced trends networks, which are used to evaluate the time scales during which groundwater quality changes; vertical flow-path study networks, which are used to evaluate changes in groundwater quality from shallow to deeper depths; flow path study networks, which are used to evaluate changes in groundwater quality from shallow to deeper depths over a horizontal distance; and modeling support studies, which are used to provide data to support groundwater modeling. Groundwater samples were analyzed for a large number of water-quality indicators and constituents, including major ions, nutrients, trace elements, volatile organic compounds, pesticides, radionuclides, and some special interest constituents (arsenic speciation, chromium [VI] and perchlorate). These groundwater quality data are tabulated in a U.S. Geological Survey Data Series Report DS-1124 which is available at https://dx.doi.org/XXXXXX and in this data release. Some data from environmental samples collected in 2013-14 and quality-control samples collected in 2012-15 also are included in the associated data release. Data from samples collected in 2016 are associated with networks described in this report and have not been published previously; data from samples collected between 2012 and 2015 are associated with networks described in previous reports in this data series (Arnold and others, 2016a,b, 2017a,b, 2018a,b).
There are 23 data tables included in this data release and they are referenced as tables 1-13 and appendix tables 4.10-4.19 in the larger work citation. There are 36 tables that are part of the larger work citation; the 13 tables not included in the data release are summary tables derived from some of the other tables (tables 1.1, 2.2-2.3, 3.1, 4.1-4.9).  A version of table 1 is included in both the text and data release. 
This compressed file contains 23 files of groundwater-quality data in ASCII text tab-delimited format and one corresponding metadata in xml format that describes all the tables and attributes.

Chesapeake Bay River Input Monitoring Network 1985-2018: Annual loads

Nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended-sediment loads, and changes in loads, in major rivers across the Chesapeake Bay watershed have been calculated using monitoring data from the Chesapeake Bay River Input Monitoring Network (RIM) stations for the period 1985 through 2018. Nutrient and suspended-sediment loads and changes in loads were determined by applying a weighted regression approach called WRTDS (Weighted Regression on  Time, Discharge, and Season).  The load results represent the total mass of nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended sediment that was exported from each of the RIM watersheds.

Results of peak-flow frequency analysis and regionalization for selected streamgages in or near Maine, based on data through water year 2019 (ver. 3.0, August 2021)

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) recently completed a report documenting methods for peak-flow frequency analysis following implementation of the Bulletin 17C guidelines (https://doi.org/10.3133/tm4B5). The methods provide estimates of peak-flow quantiles for 50-, 20-, 10-, 4-, 2-, 1-, 0.5-, and 0.2-percent annual exceedance probabilities (AEPs) for selected streamgages operated by the USGS and Environment Canada. In association with the report, this data release presents peak-flow frequency analyses for 148 streamgages (127 stations in Maine, 16 in New Hampshire, and 5 in New Brunswick, Canada). Included are 148 individual ".PRT" text files that contain results of the flood-frequency analyses of annual peak flows from all of the selected streamgages. The files were generated using version 7.3 of USGS software PeakFQ (https://water.usgs.gov/software/PeakFQ/; Veilleux and others, 2014) to conduct flood-frequency analyses using the expected moments algorithm (England and others, 2018). The peak-flow files used as input to PeakFQ were obtained from the USGS National Water Information System (NWIS) database (https://nwis.waterdata.usgs.gov/usa/nwis/peak) and contained annual peak flows ending in water year 2019. Results of the flood-frequency analyses at streamgages that did not have storage or regulation in the watershed (124 of the total 148) were used to develop peak-flow regression equations for estimating the selected AEPs at ungaged sites in Maine. Results from the unregulated streamgages that had periods of record of at least 20 years (51 of the 124) were used for a Maine skew analysis also outlined in the report.   
This data release also includes eight Excel tables summarizing the results of the peak-flow frequency analyses and peak-flow regionalization. Tables include basin characteristics used in the regionalization, information needed for flood-frequency analyses including periods of record used in analyses and  skew values, maximum instantaneous floods , flood frequency estimates , information needed for advanced accuracy analyses for the streamgages and information needed for calculation of the 90-percent confidence intervals of the peak-flow equations for the AEPs.

Waihou Mitigation Area, Maui Island, sampling locations

This data set provides the locations and corresponding elevations where  insect collection, acoustic recording, or Hawaiian hoary bat (Lasiurus cinereus semotus) captures occurred as part of a study of bat activity, diet, and prey availability in the Waihou Mitigation Area, Maui. To fulfill requirements for mitigating bat fatalities under it's approved incidental take permit, Auwahi Wind Energy LLC (Auwahi Wind) provided funding for research of Hawaiian hoary bat ecology. Data from this study were collected to assess bat habitat use, diet, prey availability and foraging ecology in a restoration area created for bat habitat mitigation. We surveyed bat acoustic activity and foraging activity over a three-year period for a baseline observation of bat detection frequency and seasonal patterns. Insects were collected in two different seasons to describe the abundance and diversity of potential bat prey items in the restoration area. Bats were captured during the same periods to collect guano for dietary analyses. Please reference the associated metadata and datasets that correspond to this publication for more information on how these locations were used.
