Horizontal-to-Vertical Spectral Ratio Soundings and Depth-to-Bedrock Data for valley-fill aquifers in the Oneonta area, Otsego and Delaware Counties, New York, 2016 - 2018

From 2016 through 2018, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, collected horizontal-to-vertical seismic soundings at 71 locations in the major valleys in the Oneonta area, Otsego and Delaware Counties, New York to help determine thickness of the unconsolidated deposits and the bedrock surface elevation. 
The HVSR technique, commonly referred to as the passive-seismic method, is used to estimate the thickness of unconsolidated sediments and the depth to bedrock (Lane and others, 2008; Fairchild and others, 2013). The passive-seismic method uses a single, broad-band three-component (two horizontal and one vertical) seismometer to record ambient seismic noise. In areas that have a strong acoustic contrast between the bedrock and overlying sediments, the seismic noise induces resonance at frequencies that range from about 0.3 to 40 Hz. The ratio of the average horizontal-to-vertical spectrums produces a spectral-ratio curve with peaks at fundamental and higher-order resonance frequencies. The spectral ratio curve (the ratio of the averaged horizontal-to-vertical component spectrums) is used to determine the fundamental resonance frequency that can be used along with an average shear-wave velocity or a power-law regression equation to estimate sediment thickness and depth to bedrock (Lane and others, 2008; Brown and others, 2013; Fairchild and others, 2013; Chandler and others, 2014; and Johnson and Lane, 2016). 
The HVSR data presented in this data release were collected at each site for 30 minutes using a Tromino Model TEP-3C three-component seismometer. The data were processed with Grilla 2012 version. 6.2 software to: 1) remove anthropogenic noise, 2) convert the time-domain data to frequency domain, 3) compute and plot the spectral ratio curve, and 4) determine the resonance frequency. 
This data release presents the resonance frequency peaks identified from the HVSR measurements. Raw and processed HVSR data for each HVSR measurement are presented in the attached files. The HVSR data-collection sites are designated by a county sequential numbering system (OGHVSR79, DHVSR1, etc. where "OG" indicates Otsego County and "D" indicates Delaware County).

Data on the impacts of garlic mustard from a weeding experiment in Pennsylvania 2006-2016

Data were collected on the abundance of plants in a 10-year weeding experiment of garlic mustard, located at Trillium Trails Park in Pennsylvania.  Garlic mustard was weeded annually to suppress its abundance, and the impacts of garlic mustard were measured based on the response of the plant community to garlic mustard weeding.  Because garlic mustard is known to suppress mycorrhizal fungi, the mycorrhizal status of each plant species was determined and recorded.  The experiment was arranged in a blocked design, where plots had subareas with and without garlic mustard removal.  Cover of each plant species was measured as the average percent cover recorded in 18 2x2 meter quadrats with garlic mustard removed per plot and 18 2x2 meter subplots with garlic mustard remaining per plot.

Tungsten skarn mineral resource assessment of the Great Basin region of western Nevada and eastern California - Geodatabase

A mineral resource assessment for tungsten, a critical mineral commodity (see the critical mineral list published by Fortier and others, 2018) for the United States, was carried out by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for a portion of the Great Basin region, in western Nevada and eastern California, between latitudes 36N and 42N and longitudes 116W and 120W. This study (Lederer and others, in review) integrates data from several sources, including geologic, geochemical, geophysical, remote sensing, watershed analysis, and mining with recently developed grade and tonnage models, expert estimates, and software tools and analyses to generate probabilistic estimates of undiscovered tungsten skarn resources.  
The assessment was conducted following the 3-part assessment methodology developed by Singer and Menzie (2010), which involved the delineation of permissive tracts, as well as the evaluation of interdisciplinary data that were then presented to a panel of experts, who made estimations that were then analyzed using economic filters. 
These data are presented in several formats: a GIS geodatabase, shapefiles, and tabular (csv) data. Several layers or individual files are derived or contain data from U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and other existing, published sources, mainly the USGS National Geochemical Database (NGDB), USGS Mineral Resources Data System (MRDS), and the 	National Uranium Resource Evaluation (NURE) databases.

Chesapeake Bay Nontidal Network 1985 – 2018: Daily High-Flow and Low-Flow Concentration and Load Estimates (ver. 1.1, November 2021)

Nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended-sediment loads, and changes in loads, in rivers across the Chesapeake Bay watershed have been calculated using monitoring data from the Chesapeake Bay Nontidal Network (NTN) 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).
A recently published extension of WRTDS allows users to separate these estimates into high- and low-flow conditions.
This data release contains (1) a table of daily high- and low-flow concentration and load estimates for NTN stations between 1985 - 2018 and (2) an R file that contains the flow-separation functions.

Groundwater recharge estimates for a rain garden on sandy soil and surrounding area near Gary, Indiana 2016-18

A rain garden and other stormwater control measures (SCM) were installed at  Gary City Hall in Gary, Indiana to retain water, increase infiltration, and divert stormwater from city sewers. In order to investigate the impacts of the installed SCMs, hydrologic data were collected prior to and following the installation to estimate site water budgets (Lampe and others, 2022). The Episodic Master Recession (EMR) method was used to estimate recharge rates at five different locations for inclusion in the site water budgets (Heppner and Nimmo, 2005; Nimmo and others, 2015). Input data for the EMR software package were collected from a rain gage and five monitoring wells with installed pressure transducers at different locations (see site description). The method output includes a descriptive text file, two hydrographs and a csv file for each site and year of data.
