Flume Conditions During a Laboratory Assessment of Alternative Stream Velocity Measurement Methods

The USGS Idaho Water Science Center (IDWSC) recently completed a report (citation TBD) documenting methods for alternative stream velocity measurement methods. The methods developed can be used to provide low-cost estimates of stream velocity as a component to estimate total streamflow at remote sites. This data release presents data from a laboratory assessment of alternative stream velocity measurement methods

Shear-Wave and Compression-Wave Active Seismic at the Callahan Mine Superfund Site in Brooksville, Maine: October 2016 to July 2018

On May 10, 2017 a land-based seismic survey was collected to obtain a shear- wave velocity (Vs) and compressional velocity (Vp). The Vs was used for estimating with the HVSR data to determine the depth to rock.  A secondary objective was to obtain Vs and Vp  measurements of the overburden sediments at the toe of the impoundment and adjacent to the stream for geotechnical applications.  Four collections were made with a 34.5-m long array of 48 electrodes with  one vertical and one horizontal phone every 1.5 m along the survey line. A hammer and two strike plates were used to generate the compressional and shear-wave sound sources.

Stream habitat characteristics and relative abundances of the Yellowcheek Darter (Nothonotus moorei) at select riffle sites among the four headwater forks of the Little Red River in Arkansas

The Yellowcheek darter (YCD), Nothonotus moorei (Robison and Buchanan 2020), is endemic to the headwater tributaries (a.k.a. ‘forks’) of Little Red River system (South Fork, SF; Middle Fork, MF; Archey Fork, AF; and Beech Fork, BF) in north central Arkansas. Large portions of critical stream habitat in each stream fork were inundated in 1964 with the construction of Greers Ferry Dam, and the YCD is now restricted to relatively short, free-flowing stretches of each fork upstream of the dam. YCD were once reported as the most abundant riffle species in these headwater tributaries (Robison and Harp 1981), however, multiple status surveys and collection efforts in the decades since dam construction have documented a general decline in YCD abundance across each fork (Wine 2004; Wine et al. 2008). Due to its limited range, declining abundance, and multiple anthropogenic threats (e.g., land use changes, hydrologic alteration, habitat degradation), the YCD was federally listed as an endangered species in 2011. 
During the spring of 2018, a study was conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, to assess YCD abundance (i.e., density) in relation to stream habitat characteristics within the four headwater forks of the Little Red River. Overall, we found that YCD had high site occupancy and similar, or relatively higher, densities than those reported in past studies. YCD densities were most strongly related to substrate embeddedness, but substrate size and stream velocity were also shown to be important variables for YCD occupancy and density in this study, as in others. However, given history of general decline over time and specialized habitat requirements of YCD, habitat degradation and changes in hydrology pose critical threats to YCD and should continue to be monitored over time.

Fisher (Pekania pennanti) detections and analysis covariates from Washington's Olympic Peninsula, 2013-2016

From 2013-16 we deployed 3 motion-sensing cameras paired with hair (DNA)-snaring devices within each of 263 24-square kilometer primary sampling units distributed systematically across the Olympic Peninsula in northwestern Washington.  The data set contains detection histories of fishers during each of 3 14-day sampling intervals at each hexagon.  The data set also includes detectability and environmental covariates measured at the detection stations and within a 1,262-m buffer inscribed around the detection stations in each hexagon. Reported covariates include the sampling year, Julian date of sampling visit, proportion of 14-day sampling intervals that bait was functional,  landscape composition within buffer regions, average 30-year precipitation, mean elevation, and distance to federal wilderness boundaries.  Landscape composition variables measured within the buffer zones included: proportion of buffers within each of three land management categories (federal wilderness, federal non-wilderness, and other [State, private, and Tribal]), 3 stand structural condition classes (tree layer dominated by small, medium, and large trees, respectively), and canopy closure classes (tree layer dominated by open, medium, and dense overstory crown closure, respectively). Additionally we report the Simpson's diversity index of structural classes present within each buffer.

Site 13 Missouri River Bathymetry and Velocimetry Data at Structures A4757/L0568 on Missouri State Highway 291 in Kansas City, Missouri, March 2010 through June 2015

These data are high-resolution bathymetry (riverbed elevation) and depth-averaged velocities in ASCII format, generated from hydrographic and velocimetric surveys of the Missouri River near Structures A4757/L0568 on Missouri State Highway 291 in Kansas City, Missouri, in 2010, 2011, and 2015.  Hydrographic data were collected using a high-resolution multibeam echosounder mapping system (MBMS), which consists of a multibeam echosounder (MBES) and an inertial navigation system (INS) mounted on a marine survey vessel.  Data were collected as the vessel traversed the river along planned survey lines distributed throughout the reach.  Data collection software integrated and stored the depth data from the MBES and the horizontal and vertical position and attitude data of the vessel from the INS in real time.  Data processing required computer software to extract bathymetry data from the raw data files and to summarize and map the information.  Velocity data were collected using an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) mounted on a survey vessel equipped with a differential global positioning system (DGPS).  Data were collected as the vessel traversed the river along planned transect lines distributed throughout the reach. Velocity data were processed using the Velocity Mapping Toolbox (Parsons and other, 2013), and smoothed using neighboring nodes.
